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.
