Personally, I would disagree with the notion that marketing dictate when Slim release software.
As someone unable to use the Pandora feature in 6.3, the release contain nothing new except bug-fixes for me. I would also agree that if customers constantly request new features, they must accept some of the pain of new bugs. And I would also agree with the fact the different usage models of users means that there is no "right" way for Slim to build a library. Just the way that meets most people's needs. That doesn't alter the fact that a large percentage of computer users/slim customers neither understand or care a great deal about computers. All they want is a music appliance that works reliably. New releases should not change the user experience. Apple & Sonos's way of dealing with this is to provide a complete closed end to end solution, ripping, library and playback. If you don't like any part of the system, then tough luck, go somewhere else. Perhaps Slim would consider a maintenance release. No new features, plugins or skins would be accepted, just bug-fixes. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25070 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
