And you're not the one who can change their protocols, I know... If they're streaming mp3's, then really, the only 'gotcha' is the authentication method. It would be nice (for them, though admittedly it would give less of a lead to Slimdevices) to have it something like the last.fm or xm stuff: authenticate with http somehow and that gives you a magic-tokenized url.
Though there would be a neato side benefit to Slim this way... Listen to track by Someone Odd, think, "you know, I like this song..." and with a couple rightarrows ... hear similar stuff. No typing with the remote, just some arrowing. (Ie, over in the tags and 'add to favorites', throw in a 'find similar stuff' thing.) (And the real killer app for something like Pandora or Last.fm... a "I like this album, remind me to buy it when I get my ass off the couch" button...) That's something that would warm even the cold hearts at RIAA. :P -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20894 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
