I last coded eons ago, but I'm sure I can learn and would be happy to assist on a project of this nature. I truly believe that it is the richness of the user experience through software and touchscreen / remote technology, content and ease of use that is going to decide who wins in this game. The Squeezebox is a fantastic product but not full featured enough to make it a credible mainstream competitor (ducks for cover). Whilst it is currently early days, it is clear things are shifting to digital content. As this shift becomes mainstream the market will be flooded with many technically inferior offerings that will however offer more in the way of the richness I have referred to. Capturing that market (even if only aimed at the higher-end of that market) is going to require something more than Slim / Logitech offer today. I would have a long, hard look at wrapping a solution around an Allmusic lasso/tapestry tie in. It would make the squeezebox downright unbeatable. -- egd Transporter >> SCA2 >> SCM100SLAT via balanced XLR Linux and loving IT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35229 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
