No obvious product development for some 8 years.Such internet connectivity is likely to be part of a system of tracking user activity and bugs in order to assist with product development, however, there does not appear to be much of any privacy statement that describes such collection of data, nor any hint of user interactivity wrt granting access to such as crash logs on a case by case basis. There is a requirement for there to be an internet connection such that an unspecified server can be accessed, yet communication between smartphone and Windows is strictly via local wi-fi.There does not appear to be any way to control playback from either the Windows machine, nor another networked computer (although the developer hints at this being a possible future addition on the local machine). ![]() The reasons for this are explained in terms of keeping system loads low such that there be less to interfere with playback quality. ![]() Reading the whole of the HYSOLID site it appears that the intention is for the Windows PC to host ones music library and run the HYSOLID 'Playback Engine' without the user being logged in, and only allowing playback of the music library via control from a smartphone.
