Maybe someone could tell me if my understanding is correct:
The SqueezeNetwork is used to store a list of personal URL's (on a
SqueezeNetwork server) so that the SB2 can select a station from the
list when the PC is off. Once the connection is established, the
SqueezeNetwork (server) is no longer involved.
Sort of. SqueezeNetwork actually provides all the user interface on
the player, as well as storing your favorite stations, providing
Alarm Clock functionality, RSS News Reader, etc...
It's like a turbo-charged SlimServer run by us for you.
Are there other uses of this SqueezeNetwork?
The ones I mentioned and many more to come. The great thing about
this model is that the upgrades happen automatically on the server
and appear on your player without any effort on your part.
Why not enabling/allowing for standalone operation with a list of
stations stored local on the SB2?
The SB2 doesn't have the horsepower to provide a rich user interface
for doing this kind of function. Luckily, since you are already
connected to the Internet to hear your radio, the SqueezeNetwork
servers are also avialable for you.
One of the things which I also would need from the device is
support of
WMV streams. Is support for this format somewhere in the pipeline?
WMV is video, I think you are talking about WMA. We don't support it
yet, but it's definitely in our plans.
All the best,
dean
