Michael, thanks for all the info. Are you a representative from
Logitech?
I'm an engineer in the SB/SR team. But I'm no official spokesman. I'm only
trying to give answers because none of the officials really understands
the problem this community has with the latest development.

Does this mean there will be a UE Touch with limited, but easier to use
functionallity, or there won't be an UE branded Touch (or Boom, for that
matter) with limited functionallity compared to LMS?

Buy a Touch. It's probably the best device you'll own, and the perfect
solution for playing music. Logitech's decision to not produce them
anymore doesn't change anything about that.
Hi,
I'm a long-term owner, 2 SB, 1 Touch, 2 soft player on kids PCs,
software running on Synology NAS, very happy user. Exactly this morning,
an office colleague asked me what to buy, I wanted to send him a link,
and end up seeing all this non-sense. I always suspected Logitech would
harm the

Not very surprising, but still a shock to say the least. I've owned a

would have abandoned the system quite quickly. But this worked so great

The big problem with Sonos is the resolution restrictions. It would be a
pain to transcode high to low res Flac, besides the extra storage to
hold both versions, as well as the MP3 version for idevices. It wouldn't
be so bad for sub-critical applications if it would transcode on it's
own.
I saw MH comment that he is running his server for UE Radio on Linux -
so this means (implies at least) that there is still software for the
end-user to install.
Isn't that the part that causes some end-users to have problems (the
installation a s running of software)?
