We expect this to be the first of many horses, and we're not interested in forcing anyone to use any particular music source. Our goal is ALL THE MUSIC and we're happy to let users decide which services they'll get it from. However, there are practical and legal limits to which non-open/non-mp3 ones we can bring online, and how quickly. Please don't assume that because our software is open source that we oppose non-free-anything - our software roadmap has always indicated plans to support more formats and more music sources including DRM ones. As much as we'd like everyone to use sensible file formats and open interfaces, we're just not big enough to drive that, so instead we'll try to just make it all available and let you decide. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 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
