i agree. however, it is a universal baseline most apps have basic compatibility with. the main thing i am trying to point out is that most users in the marketplace do not have user defined tags. all of these issues are separate from the main question of the thread, which is: is the VA logic necessary? i would say that so far, the only answer i have gotten on the VA logic itself, is that it is not necessary, and does not work properly or as intended, BUT that for some people it is useful. therefore i think it should only be included as an opt-in option. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.0.1beta - 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=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
