This is a pretty stunning announcement, in that Logitech not only did something to appease the angry masses of by allowing them to upgrade (my term) a UE Radio to Squeezebox software, but they are putting their necks out by implicitly saying that UE Smart Radio might have been...a bit of a miss*. That's about as un-Logitech as Logitech gets. cheers, #!/ben * obviously the announcement can be spun a number of ways, but that's how I choose to read it :) Former Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin (r.i.p.) http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'

Getting US Smart Radio owners to switch to Squeezebox won't help one bit if/when that happens. For one it means you can buy a product that isn't EOLed that supports Squeezebox. For another it means that Logitech is allowing even more users to switch to a service, mysb.com that this forum has been gnashing teeth over for quite some time. That's seemingly some kind of acknowledgment that a) they over-stepped by severing ties to squeezebox, and b) mysb.com is going to continue to be around for a bit longer. Honestly, hearing Logitech say even a hint of whoops on this whole debacle is the most unexpected thing I've heard in a while. Michael, the announcement reads at least slightly confusing. Does Switch to Squeezebox mean Download and Install Squeezebox firmware or Connect my UE Radio to mysqueezebox.com? cheers, #!/ben Former Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin (r.i.p.) http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] New Squeezebox Radio
Huh, this is a real interesting development. If any new UE hardware is released, it will be interesting to see if this carries through. Maybe a Boom II modeled after the radio that would work with squeezebox server?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] New Squeezebox Radio
Michael, the announcement reads at least slightly confusing. Does Switch to Squeezebox mean Download and Install Squeezebox firmware or Connect my UE Radio to mysqueezebox.com? It reads Install SB firmware. It will forget it's ever been a smart radio. Only the logo on the device will remind you of what it's been through :-). FWIW: the firmware comes with a much higher revision number than the latest regular SB firmware. But that's mostly due to the switch from subversion to git. The 7.7.3/r16667 firmware installed in this process is almost identical with the 7.7.2/r9663. It only includes additional code to support the latest hardware revision, and a few lines to make the upgrade magic happen. No other bug fixes. -- Michael ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Smart Radio and Squeezebox software upgradability
Hello music streaming fans: When we introduced the Logitech UE Smart Radio last fall we received a lot of positive feedback on the simplicity of the new experience. For those music lovers who seek a great sounding, yet compact, radio to access their favorite Internet radio stations and music services, the Logitech UE Smart Radio definitely hit a sweet spot. A few months back in the countries where we distribute Logitech UE Smart Radio we gave Squeezebox Radio users the option to switch their Squeezebox Radios to the Logitech UE Smart Radio platform. Shortly after, we received feedback from some users that the Logitech UE Smart Radio platform didnt support all the advanced functionality of the Squeezebox platform they were used to. To address this, starting today we now offer the option to switch Logitech UE Smart Radio software to Squeezebox. By doing so, our Squeezebox fans can now take advantage of the improved portability of the Logitech UE Smart Radio, while still enjoying the Squeezebox features they appreciate. To initiate the transition, simply navigate to the advanced settings on your Logitech UE Smart Radio and scroll down to select Switch to Squeezebox. In order to ensure our customers transition to the experience that best fits their needs, both update paths include a link to descriptions of the pros and cons of each transition. Please make sure you review these carefully before proceeding, but know you can always revert back to the Logitech UE Smart Radio platform anytime youd like. Cheers, and happy streaming!
