"The Olive ONE looks, however, like the 2013 version of a Squeezebox Touch"
They have been mysterious about how it works. It may well work like the Squeezebox products, using a remote library on your computer for indexing and playing your own music and through a remote site (like mysqueezebox.com) for internet streaming services. Then again, it may be more like Sonos or Bluesound, which index your music in your devices, and so limit the size of your library. The closest theng to Squeezebox is VOCO. The real problem with all the alternatives save Sonos is the dearth of internet services available, and Sonos has it's own issues.
Olive has been very secretive about the technical details of the One. I'll be keeping an eye on it until they give us more info, but until then my Squeezebox isn't going anywhere.
