In Reply to: RE: Relying on LMS........................... posted by Cut-Throat on August 18, 2014 at 12:46:57
LMS stands for Logitech Media Server, - and it is an app that sits on a "server" (in many people's case), a dedicated PC, completely independent of any Touch, Squeezebox Boom, Squeezebox Radio, whatever.....
The Touch, Boom, SBradio are all "players" with a different interface.
If you have your Spotify, Pandora, set up on LMS on your PC/MAC, - then you can play Spotify on the Bryston/Rendu/Auralic, - right?

You have to have an account at Logitech to run it. The Pluggins that allow an Interface to Spotify are all supported by Logitech. The updates to your SBT are all downloaded from Logitech. If they drop support for LMS, it's pretty much over for LMS.Cut-Throat

Squeezebox lite is on the players, LMS is on a computer or NAS drive.
Many of these devices can attach to an LMS, - but may or may not be capable of playing apps like Spotify that are Squeezebox lite apps...
the Sonore Orbiter does play Squeezebox lite, but it only outputs USB.
Cheers,

"Squeezelite is one of several software clients available for Logitech Media Server. It is cross-platform and has been ported to various operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) and hardware architectures (x86, x86-64, ARM, MIPS). Squeezelite does not have any user interface of its own and must be controlled via Logitech Media Server's web interface or another Logitech Media Server client."
But Logitech is still "In Charge".
