This has been discussed numerous times before, although some may have
missed it. Discontinuing the Classic was not entirely a Logitech
decision, as the VF display used is no longer being manufactured. It
was too expensive (the VFD), power hungry and what not. I'm not saying

Assuming you have tried factory resets and other operations of that
kind there are a few more things you could try.

No one knows, Logitech no longer gives us
I was planning to buy the Touch. After reading this and other threads
I'm not sure anymore.
Is this correct?
1. No wifi bridge? (It's useful but I can live without it)
2. No static ip? (I can use the router to set it but)
3. No ir-blaster? (This is a showstoper)

Server issue rather than Touch, but the biggest one for me is ability
to press a button on the IR remote and start a playlist. Lost that a
few server versions ago, apparently.
Further down, set a static IP address, more control of the clock

True, although the SB that died was actually a Slim Devices SB3, and
the other one is still running, so I'm comfortable with the longevity
for a CE product. In fact, it was probably one of the oldest things in
the audio cabinet :-)

I went through the same thing a few weeks ago. Ended up going with the
Touch because it turned out to only be a little more than getting a
Classic.
I use coax digital out, so can't say I really notice an audio
difference (and I'm usually fairly discriminating on audio.) Also, my

Well yes the Touch is better, but you're in luck if you still like the
Classic look as it is still available from several sources including
Amazon.
I drive a 10yr old car too, but plan to buy a Touch next time one is on
sale.I love the squeezebox whole line up, but would prefer the
higher bit
