Thanks, garym. Can't see myself settling for something with so much less functionality. 2-SB3s, 1-Duet, 1-Touch...and an iPeng convert. GeeJay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11388 View this

I think people who are primarily interested in playing streaming online music services should probably be using some other platform. Really? I've been using it this way for over five years, listening to Last.fm, Slacker and Pandora as well as some online stations. Should I sell all my

I have been a loyal Squeezebox owner for years. I have owned a Classic v3 (burned out in the sun), a Duet, a Touch and two Radios. My main use of the system is to stream from a premium music service. I tried Spotify, but it doesn't work with my Duet (I tried the mod). I switched to Rhapsody,

I'm curious if Ickstream will eventually allow folks who use streaming services to continue using their SBs, regardless of the rapid-fire changes in the industry. I'm more tied to my local music collection, so this has never been the hot button for me, although I've almost pulled the trigger on
