This leads to your swiss knife. No, IMHO they must not and they should not. This mostly results in an application which does its several jobs in a very mediocre way, in stead of its one job superb... Par example IMHO iTunes doesn't even get near the quality of EAC considering CD ripping...,
And how do you want slimserver to extract audio from a CD? it's running on multiple platforms which all have different ways of accessing CD's To give you a small idea: there's more beyond Windows, I'm running it on a headless and keyboardless Linux server. At this moment slimserver can run on allmost every platform, as long as perl is available. If slimserver had been only available on Windows because of all the junk they have to include according to you I would not have bought a squeezebox! > To some up only for my personnal case, pushing music from server (itunes > for its graphical gui) is what i would like, I don't give any interest > into all displays onto the SB/TP.

I'm not sure if there's enough memory in the squeezebox to be able to fully implement the iTunes protocol next to the slimserver protocol, and then there are still the license issues... and the problem of a protocol over which you have absolutely no control. -- servies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
