I would like to thank Sky.FM, DI.fm etc. for the past years of bringing
me those great music streams. They have brought me many pleasant
listening hours untill this morning.

I'm a dedicated listener for a long time (pre-sky.fm age). I even
remember pressing the donate button on sky.fm. I realize that they must
make a buck also, so the advertising system seemed appropriate and it
was good and balanced untill this morning.

I used to listen to radiotunes a lot on my squeezebox. Today i found out
i could only listen to it with a premium account. Though i can listen
for free from the android app or the website. What´s the difference
between a dedicated hardware device and an android app? Why on earth are
they discriminating hardware created for true music lovers?

Why the need for cripling my beloved squeezebox while they are giving
away the free streams for android and web? 
If i want to listen for free, i can, but they are disabling on purpose
the main devices for the best listening experience. 
Of course i can pull a cable from my laptop/phone to my audio device if
i really want to listen for free, but i'll doubt if i will ever do
this.

I think, but that's my opinion, this is not the way of pushing listeners
to pay for their service. I think a large group of people will never
listen to their streams (again), because they will never experience it
through their dedicated device.

I still hope they will consider to reopen the streams for true fans on
music lover devices.
