It would be interesting to know because, if they ever shut it down, our SBRs will apparently be virtually useless.
Please tell me I'm mistaken.

That's actually a very good question. I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Perhaps a third party would write some kind of application to emulate the squeezebox server...

SB players can work until the player breaks. Mysb.com not needed. You will always be able to play your own music, Internet radio where you can enter the URL (ie most of them) and any services where someone provides a 3rd party plugin (eg spotify).

How would one enter the URL manually on the radio itself? Originally Posted by garym

On LMS running on your computer or NAS. if you only use mysb.com, that's a problem I guess. Originally Posted by buffettck

Ok, I guess this is where I need educating. What is LMS and how does it work (i.e. is it easy to use)? Originally Posted by garym

Thanks so much for your help!

LMS on your computer will work even if Logitech ceases to exist. It doesn't require a connection to mysb.com for many of its functions. Originally Posted by andynormancx

For the how long question: not at all they can shut it down tonight. But that is equally true of Sonos and its software for access to things like pandora, etc.

That's not true. Most other internet radios use similar services like Receiva's
