My first email draft was quite a bit more offensive than "need serious work" <grin>. I've actually done windows help files using robohelp and done a bit of technical writing and copy editing. Wikis scare me in that if one just has at it they might be pissing off someone who likes it the way it was and/or doesn't like what they did. I just can't get my head around how a collaberative document like a Wiki could ever end up cohesive without edits limited to one person? I could start a real "Users Manual " in HTML starting off with what is in the Wiki and other sources(?) easily enough but I'd need quite a bit of input from users and the developers. I'd also be spending quite a bit of time explaining what is broken in the web interface, its pretty scary now. > > This was my 3rd try in as many years to get this thing to do something > > useful.

I didn't want to install a lot of junk on my PC to get it to go and didn't want to need the PC to be up all the time.

Yah, I got that impression.<grin>. > Consider the Internet radio feature of SqueezeCenter (aka Slimserver). I'm quite happy to be limited to mpeg audio streams that don't require a local server to access. I pretty much only run my laptop and like to be able to shut it down when through with it. I also have a Linksys WMLS11B that plays mpeg internet radio streams directly without a local server and mp3 files off local media servers it finds and would like to do the same with the MediaMVP.
