Hi Chris... I agree. But I like the way it organizes my music. And it has a very functional web interface. Which, I might add, includes more on line technical documentation then the average user can handle. And, even though the company was recently bought, the open development of the server appears to be as active as ever.
Also worth mentioning, the slimdevices emulator called Softsqueeze which can run on just about any platform as it is written in java. So, given you run the slimserver on the computer where your music is, you can play it back using MClient in MVPMC, Softsqueeze on your Java running computer, SqueezeBox slimdevices hardware client, I think a Roku box and, if you don't have an x-server running, slimp3slave which uses curses. Oh, and w.r.t. remote control. The web interface can independently control any of several clients connected to the same slimserver. I am hoping to add this remote control functionality to MClient after a few other over due over halls.
