i disagree jim... i do think it is possible to combine all the elements into one fat device and essentially have a jukebox, which as we all know, was popular even for pre-internet era folks, like the 50's! i think putting a screen on the remote is a step in the right direction. i know techies love having the server on the computer and being open source and all that, but i for one would rather use this device sans computer. that would mean a remote with a screen, and a separate box that i hook to the stereo, and also on that wishlist would be the ability to map drives where music is on that box, as well as connect ext storage to it, (so either way, wireless mapped network drives or local ext drives, including flash stuff). also on the wishlist would be a TV out on the box to have the menu work on the TV and do visualizations. the thing is, such a "fat" SB could be made (as hardware) and still use the basic SS software, it would just be inside it. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.5 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
