Well, the current version is open source and not really maintained by Logitech... :) Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96188 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I don't believe that a manufacturer should necessarily feel any obligation to make sure that all future hardware revisions should remain compatible with all old versions of the software. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that someone buying a new piece of hardware should be required to run an up-to-date version of the software. Aside from this philosophical point, current versions of the server software are pretty good in my experience. I was running 7.7.something with no issues, and upgraded to a 7.8 beta, also with no issues. Any manufacturer that doesn't think it's necessary is sure to piss its customer base off. With customer expectations the way they are today, that's not such a great idea. What if Apple changed the internals of their iPhone with no updates to model names or model numbers. Let's say that these new iPhones would only update and sync using the new iTunes 11 and give mysterious failure messages when they failed to update and sync. And let's say that they didn't put anything in their documentation to indicate this fact and left it up to their loyal customers to discover this and figure it out for themselves. You don't think that the customer base would become indignant? maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Actually, Apple _is_ doing things like that. Maybe not exactly the same thing, but with similar effects. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Downgrade UE Smart Radio to Squeeze OS
Setting my feelings toward logitech aside, I wanted to thank those that helped me figure out the situation with my squeezebox Radio. Thanks to you guys, I have it working and am comfortable that I understand the situation with it and know what it is compatable with. One thing that has remained constant throughout the entire squeezebox product life - the community here is amazingly helpful and a pleasure to be a part of. maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

My feeling is that 7.7.2 is the best release since 7.5.5, at least as long as you disable image/video scanning. 7.7.2 have some advantages and some disadvantages compared to 7.5.5, so it depends on how you use it if 7.5.5 or 7.7.2 works best. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

No issues with my own music (70,000 flac files takes about an hour to scan and an older library with 206,000 lossy files takes a bit less than 4 hours to scan). Most have artwork. All works smoothly and I also use various plugins (most of erlands stuff related to dynamic playlists, etc.), scrobbling, various apps (mog, sirriusXM, etc.). My setups run for months at a time without a reboot. Only time i'm rebooting system is do do an update, etc. knock on wood, rock solid for me. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97331 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
