And it's SuperDateTime that sold them. They are lunatic sports fans and love getting the latest scores on the display. (They're 10-year-old twin girls, which is why I write "their" rather than "her".) The, how shall we say, kind of lousy support for fiddling around with playlists is, I'm convinced, another hallmark of a product designed by techies who mostly listen to albums. I love the product, don't get me wrong; I have two in the house right now. And I mostly listen to albums myself. But my kids are very singles-oriented (just like I was when I was their age) and they always want to add/remove tracks from their "everyday listening" playlist. The current UI makes this rather painful. On the other hand, my kids also like some of the techie aspects of the Squeezebox, including the web browser interface, the custom library I set up for them (so when they browse by artist they only see the ones they like), and even the fact that they can set a playlist to wake them up in the morning. But modifying that playlist -- yikes. SBB _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
