To my liking, too much has been pressed into the new and shiny (urgs!) "App" category. And "Apps" are player-specific.
So yes, it's a hassle to manually keep track of what needs to be installed on which player and probably loose it during the next firmware update. "Apps" (which aren't, mostly, but just menu extensions) can be nice, but a feasible default set should be pre-selected, and a feature introduced like "Make this app available on all players". They're talking about new "managers" and people who shall optimize the system for "average Joes" (aka normal users) but what they -do- is make it all more unusable and cluttered and have much more keypresses needed instead of less. I do understand that there's a lot going on behind the scenes, like adopting everything for the new hardware, and I can understand things not working in beta versions, but I cannot understand heading the whole business unit in (what I feel) the wrong direction. Like, for heaven's sake, who wants a small 4" touch screen device in his HiFi rack which cannot be moved (due to the cabling) and needs crossing the living room to even read what's on the screen, or press "Mute" or "Next song"? (I -love- my Duet when it works ;-) Oh well. This was supposed to become a positive post, but I*couldn't help it. And it takes some before I get this negative ... -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67149
