I just ordereed 2 spare Radios (great deal of 129 each including
battery). I also want to get 2 spare Touches, but I'll wait to see if
the prices will come down. If Logitech actually stops making them,
chances are the last ones will get dumped.

OK, I think I've just about digested all this uproar. I guess my take is
this.
Dumbing down the complexity in order to achieve a simpler
user-experience, more reliable functionality (eg alarm that works
without fail) and appeal to the wider mass market - I can appreciate
that logic.

I have a qnap nas and wanted to buy a squeezebox radio to listen my
local music in wifi, perhaps in the garden with the battery.
With this new UE radio will be possible? exists the possibility to
download the server software for my QNAP nas? or should I look for a
squeezebox radio on the market ye
Wow! Why would Logitech Mgmt want to kill off such a unique,
competitive and popular product?
What boneheads. Do ya just want to give up the market to Sonos? The
move surpasses understanding.

So, they do what they should do with LMS, and turn it back into a music
server. But then they stop supporting the mainstream music hardware.
This is madness.
Thanks for posting those screenshots, dude.

If they want to make it more simple to use they should have added a USB
slot for direct playback of files stored on a usb media and upnp support
for playback of media in the home network, not another propietary
software that has to be installed.

What is the rational for the player needing to communicate with
Logitech's server to play local music? Software (a server) has to be
installed locally to play local music. It seems overly complicated and
unnecessary for the radio to have to communicate with Logitech's server
to play local music.

What is the UE communication protocol between UE server and UE Radio?
Is it UPNP/DLNA, the SB protocol or a new one?
Is it possible to connect other devices than the UE Radio to the UE
server?

Have subsequently only just seen the sticky thread about the *new*
product line (UE) including radio.
Somewhat supersedes my comments about consumer product vs geeks-only.
Sounds like the way forward was to start-over in terms of
architecture/software ?
I think I need to digest it properly.

Haven't posted here in a long time.
Which is actually testament to having finally got a stable and reliable
system (using a local 7.5 server) - and then not touching it at all.
Like many, I had suffered the very unreliable alarm function on the
radio. Almost to the point of giving up on it.

You're probably right about that... unfortunately. Things may change
once many people had to learn it the hard way
Michael or others, is there a chance that we can get a side-by-side
comparison of the two products both in features and available out of the
box radio streams? I think that this would help eliminate some confusion
and questions. Like any new, soon to be released, announcement there is

I saw MH comment that he is running his server for UE Radio on Linux -
so this means (implies at least) that there is still software for the
end-user to install.
Yes, if you want to have access to your local music collection, then
you'll need to install the UE Music Library software.
