It looks like the Olive One will be providing similar functionality by storing play statistics as per this: "Our patent-pending SESSION™ technology learns from your listening habits. Simply activate SESSION™ and ONE automatically tracks your music preferences across many criteria: genres, artists, ratings, play count, volume, even the time of the day and season. It learns if you get the Blues on Monday or like to dance on Friday night. After awhile ONE can start playing awesome, relevant music you'll love with one simple touch." Source: http://myoliveone.com/Ones/music_os I have been a fairly long time user of Squeezebox devices and currently have 3 x SB Touch and 1 x SBR, but am very interested in what Olive are planning with the ONE. I was initially disappointed that Olive were not originally planning on providing a digital out (as I have one of my SB Touch devices feeding an Audiolab M-DAC & wanted to do the same with the ONE), but they have confirmed that this will now be provided. They are also considering whether additional connections can be provided (without significant PCB redesign work) for analogue out & ethernet with the plan being that all connections would be available from a "connection hub" (my words), with just a single cable running back to the ONE (containing discrete cables inside). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EliteAV's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97599
