Are there any hints about when mysb.com might vanish? Of course I can reconfigure to do without it, but my Boom does what I want via mysb.com while the Classic works to the local server. No sign of second hand Squeezeboxes falling in price, which is an indication of how wrong Logitech have got i

A year removed from the official end of the line for Squeezebox, and at least in my case several years past when I considered it a dead product as far as Logitech was concerned, Squeezebox remains a huge part of my daily life. I have *11* "in production" squeezeboxes, with a few more in reserve.
