It's always baffled me that more functionality has not been provided as mixers. 
 Mixer capabilities could be embraced to make existing functionality more 
easily usable.  e.g. Random Play or Shuffle by navigating to a playlist, year, 
genre or album and selecting a "Random Play" or "Play shuffled" mixer.

MusicIP is very important for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  Dropping support 
for this will not go down too well.  For me, it is one of the best features of 
SBS.  I'm sure sooner or later, MusicIP will become something else, or other 
similar products will appear.

Incidentally, Last.FM recently changed such that SBS can't stream Last.FM radio 
stations without a subscription, but I don't think anything changed in 
SBS/MySqueezebox.com - I still have context menu actions to play last.fm, which 
won't work.  Are there plans to remove this, or change the subscription model 
so that actions are not visible if they are not available to the user?
