It's a good point and there is probably a lot of room for improvement there. There are still lots of very geeky things about the interface, the software probably makes too many assumptions about your knowledge of the system and its paradigms, and (through no real fault of the device or its software) people are likely to be further disoriented by music-scanning idiosyncracies that are exacerbated by the rogue, non-standard world of music tagging (v1 tags, v2, v2.1, etc...). That being said, I find the interface quite usable, and it's interesting to me how many reviews I've read of the squeezebox that specifically mention how *easy* the device was to set up. In most of the comparisons I've read that's been a tick in the "pros" column for the Squeezebox. So I'm prone to want to say that this reviewer is an anomaly who did a particularly poor job of familiarizing himself with the device. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
