   I think the biggest problem with the Logitech/Squeeze Media Server was it's   
   dependency on Perl.   That is what keeps breaking.   
      
   The LMS had great features ahead of it's time...you could have multiple   
   devices all playing the same thing, in synch (and I did, at one point).  MPD   
   supports streaming but not this.  And the LMS devices had nice things built in   
   like alarm clocks and even RSS readers.   
      
   But Logitech abandoned it a long time ago, and that's ancient history.  I like   
   what I'm doing with my RPi 3 running Rune Audio/MPD.   
      
   I find it interesting that the alternatives like Sonos still don't do what   
   Squeeze did.   
   The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.   When we feel like it.
