Not sure if this has been covered in previous posts but here my two cents. I would suggest the screen being divided into two sections. The section on the right would be the "now playing" section that could have album covers and perhaps a certain number of songs upcoming in the playlist. It would somewhat similar to the current "now playing" screen on the iphone/touch interface in iPeng but with more info--perhaps instead of having to swipe to the playlist, it is presented together.
The section on the left could be a number of different things, configurable by the user. It could be either the play synch screen or it could be the "more screen" in that you could choose to go to different sources of music. That is where I see the big benefit. You could in essence vastly improve the otherwise crappy UI of the duet in terms of building playlist. I would think drag/drop capability of individual tracks or albums would be a big plus. Basically, it would look similar to what the current web ui looks like it that you could see what is playing/upcoming while also conducting searches to build the playlist out even more. The addded benefit of drag/drop would be a huge plus. Additionally, I would assume you could build bug free/better designed ui that they can. My big use of the squeezebox is searching for music online and/or my collection to build playlists on the go. I really don't do too much other than (that is, not too interested in high res albums, years of songs, lyrics, etc--I just want to listen to music I like). The current UI frankly sucks for doing that. My focus all along is trying to get squeezebox to be more like Sonos in that aspect. At least with Sonos, it is intuitive and novices not schooled in the black arts of deciphering the design logic of the duet can pick up the remote and more or less find music without aid. And don't get me started on erasing the playlist by pressing play. Anything you can do to compensate for the shortcomings of logitech is a big plus in my book. -- bhall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36765 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
