I would hope that, if Logitech pulls the plug on msb.com, they would release a final LMS version without hooks to it... Even if they don't the SB work ok without SB access. I don't listen to internet radio nor do I ever use msb.com, to me it is always about streaming FLAC or MP3 files from

Hmm. Thought I understood this, but maybe it's just a matter of rephrasing. Let's assume mysb.com goes away. At that point, assuming I'm using a recent 7.8 build, will the Tunein app on my Radio still function as expected? I realize I can always save individual URLs as favorites, but Tunein

Yes tune in without mysb.com is a big advantage of 7.8 over the stable version. Even without the frankly excellent work being done on the community squeeze project there's tonnes of other options for DIY SB devices which apart from not supporting the online services can in some cases be superior
