You are correct, the display on the SqueezeBox or Transporter is mono-chrome. Showing cover art is really for the web interface. While some people use the remote control, I never do. I use a laptop and point to the machine running SlimServer. There are many skins, I like Fishbone, which does a nice job of showing cover art. A fair number of people use small PDAs to show the web interface, again instead of using the remote. Nokia 770 and 800 are mentioned a lot, even PlayStation Portables. You could probably even use a smart cell phone. The web interface is fairly lightweight, up until a few months ago, I used a lap top from last century, a Toshiba P233 with 356 MB of Ram, with DSL. Worked fine as a fancy remote control. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
