#Logitech media server spotify software
I recently decided to move the software on my iMac from proprietary to non-proprietary so creating the private server for my Squeezebox would also make sense. Nevertheless I may choose to create my own private server.
Will I continue to be using the my Squeezebox devices with the online server using Deezer instead of Spotify or will I set up my own private server? The latter is of course more of a hassle since it involves installing and maintaining the Logitech Media Server, ripping CD's to mp3's and storing them on the server. With the removal of the Spotify app I have a choice to make. This enables all users to make build their own Squeezebox clients and servers. I didn't mention the best thing about Squeezebox, both the server and player software are non-proprietary and can be installed on several different operating systems. The Squeezebox hardware was discontinued in 2012 but but, to it's credit, Logitech maintains the online service to this very day. The apps are very convenient to stream music just with a remote control. I preferred to use my Squeezebox devices with the online service mainly for its ease of use and because some streaming services such as Spotify and Deezer are available as an app. The Squeezebox can be used in two different ways as a player that works with an online service,, or with a private server called Logitech Media Server. The devices are versatile and have excellent hardware. The Squeezebox device is a network music player from Logitech. The Logitech Squeezebox Radio, one of several types of Squeezebox devices, now without Spotify (photo from (network_music_player)). With that they control the functionality of my devices. Spotify makes it very clear that they control the software that they provide for the device and not the user. However what outrages me is that Spotify remotely removes software on a device that I own. I understand that support for hardware, such as the Squeezebox, is limited and will end some day. I even have a Spotify Premium Family account that enables me to play Spotify on multiple devices. I own a Squeezebox Radio and a Squeezebox Touch that I both use heavily to listen to music with the Spotify app. Spotify silently and remotely deleted the Spotify app from the Squeezebox devices I found out after returning from vacation (Yes, they did post an article on their help pages I found out but I wasn't notified).
