I confess I've never tried, but I'm surprised this is disallowed - at least if they're all coming from the same public IP address.

One account for all. erland wrote: > If you have a single account for the whole family, are you severely > missing the ability to keep track of individual playlists or favorites > for each family member ? Not severely, but to some degree. I ask them -not- to "Add to Library" and for them to use it purely as an ad-hoc listening service (I use the library... I'm excluded from my own rule on the basis I pay for it). It doesn't always work - I sometimes see One Direction and similar appearing in the library. erland wrote: > Do you have any ideas how you would like online streaming services to > work on your Squeezebox and portable devices from a family perspective ? > How would your dream system handle it ? First and foremost, I want our new Community-SB devices to support them! Non-SB players can't access Rhapsody UK (Napster) and I suspect we'll be in a similar position with the Community-SB for the time being. Beyond that, allowing different users to have different libraries would be nice as, when my kids get older, they're more likely to demand such a feature. I think that's the answer you were looking for. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
