I'm with iPhone. From a technology geek perspective, it would be really cool, but I don't think it would prove tremendously useful outside of a very select few. I think money and effort could be spent on better things, like developing better tagging schemes, better library database schema, and multiple library support. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch.
