If I might chime in with some thoughts~ I would envision a solution where "radio" is just a location for the plugin/services to reside - tune in, radio.net, Paul's Radio Now playing, etc. Then a general search would cover all services, but instead of returning a full list possibly with duplicate, would return - Tune In(60) Radio.net (10), etc. The user could then drill down.. The other thing to keep in mind, while many are discovering LMS, most of "us" are experienced users. (To me) it seems like "Radio" was targeted to the "I bought a sb radio, plugged it in, lets listen to the internet". If you are to change "radio" I would think it makes sense to target power over convenience for functionality. Remember, allot of the wonderful powerful plugin and functions of LMS are not "plug and play" for those new to LMS (example DSTM, You Tube plugin, etc). If a new user wants plug and play they choose sonos these days. my 2 cents to stimulate thoughts, or, just dismiss it as another rambling ;) Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116094
