Apologies if any of these have already been requested, I've had a search
but not found anything.

1. Restrict certain folders to certain players only

I have a number of albums ripped in multi-channel format (DTS-WAV). I
want these to -only- show up in (at present) the playlists for the
living room and master bedroom, as these Squeezeboxen are both linked to
an AV receiver which will decode DTS. I don't want these to accidentally
get played in the kitchen or bathroom (analogue outs), dining room
(digital out via Arcam Black Box 50 DAC) or Boom (if I ever get one). It
won't sound nice!

2. Block "explicit lyrics" tracks from certain players

Maybe an extension of the above, or maybe use a "user" ID3v2 tag to
specify "explicit lyrics". I want to be able to put the unbleeped
versions of chart hits on the system, but not allow them to be played in
the kids' bedrooms. If Mini-Squirrel wants to play Azaelia Banks' "212"
in her bedroom she'll get the version with the C-word blanked out!

3. Lock down the settings on the Controller

It's not possible to hide the Settings menu on the Squeezebox
Controller. This means that Little Fingers can get in and start messing
with stuff. It would be -really- handy to be able to disable the
Settings (re-enable with a key combination such as hold Home and push
the middle button for 2 seconds, then enter a 4-digit PIN) so it can't
be changed by anyone who doesn't know what they're doing.

4. Lock down the available players on an individual Controller

When Mini-Squirrel discovers that she can go to "Choose Player" on her
controller and change it from "Bedroom 3" to "Living Room" or "Master
Bedroom"...

It would be nice to be able to lock Controller 3 down so it can only
select "Bedroom 3" or "Bathroom" from the list of available players. Or
maybe "Garden" when the landscaping is complete and the outdoor speakers
are reconnected.

5. Have an option for "New devices require approval" on LMS

At the moment any new Squeeze player can connect to the system without
any form of authentication (other than knowing the wi-fi password in the
case of wireless units). I'd like to be able to have an option to have
an unrecognised device "pending approval" before it can access the music
library. This would obviously require the web interface to be password
protected.

Just a few thoughts. Any comments?
