I know that it's venting for the most part but I think the main point is quite valid. I too am a loyal customer with three boxes and thousands of hours of musical enjoyment under my belt due to the revolutionary squeezeserver.
however, I can't recommend this product to any of my 'normal' friends- i.e.- friends who don't have a very solid grasp of computers and who also have a near obession to tweaking server software and/or music tags. I live in san francisco and several of my friends are IT professionals and I don't think i would recommend the product to those folks either. maybe that's mainly due to the fact that most of my friends have kids and there's just not enough time in the day for such a trivial activity as tweaking a music server. for myself, I find it endlessly challenging so I actually enjoy the time spent improving my squeezecenter. But it's just not a mass market product...yet. I think in time it will be but that time has not come. oh, and by the way-the spinning disk icon in the default skin could possibly be the dumbest improvement ever made with the server software. i would argue that efforts should be made to streamline the server software as much as possible. less add ons-not more. sometimes that pesky squeezecenter is hogging 80-90% of my computer's brain power when executing certain commands. that to me does not seem like a good thing. -- exile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47952 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
