How could tech support resolve issues that are caused by buggy firmware
and server setup? Tech support can help people who are not able to
setup their network or whatever, but it's obviously pointless to call

Sorry for the bad experience you had, but my contacts with logitech's

I would recommend it if it costs $50 or less, and came with the battery
pack. For $150+ it's way too frustrating! I usually have mine shut off
by itself at least 2-5 daily. Often times when I'm listening to a
podcast that requires you to start over at the beginning. It's way too

Yes, in the background.
Why SBS or TinySC connecting to MySB is so different and more reliable
than a player by itself I cannot say.

Yes, I only use the Touch's TinySC server. But doesn't the Touch use

When I did my initial setup - just last week - I was very apprehensive

That's where my Boom resides, garage, wall mounted, streaming 24/7.
Audibly fills the space nicely. Plus you are already familiar with
it's interface.
But a Radio wouldn't be a bad choice either.
Take away the alarm issues and the many (understandable) complaints
from EU MySB users
I have no complaints. I bought the unit about three weeks ago to be an
alarm-clock in bedroom and it works just fine.

I would also choose a Boom instead of a Radio for a garage. I actually
have been using the Radio's alarm for the past 5 months, and it has
always worked for me. The rest of it works fine, too. It just doesn't
sound as good as a Boom, nor can you read the screen from across the
room.
