At this rate, we'll be viewing artwork on a pinhead in 20 years :-). I don't get really hung up on artwork either. I don't miss it on my squeezebox. I played with it for my iPod, but never pursued it. I perfer to use the screen real estate for title information. Back in my younger years, I'd sit on my bed and study the album cover (yes, I'm from the lp days) and liner notes as I listened. As an adult, I'm lucky I have time to listen to music while doing other tasks - no time to lie around and look at the artwork or liner notes. If I do have time to lie around and listen to music, I usually have my laptop out and will go to allmusic.com for more info on an artist/album or read a wiki about the performer. I can understand why some like it, but I don't really miss not having it. -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43750 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
