There is a tiny SW that actually sits on the tray and which enables you to play songs from wherever they are stored at your computer directly from Windows Explorer. I find this very useful and a convenient way to browse through music and create a new playlist. You can't drag-and-drop mp3 files to it (maybe just not yet), but you can select any supported audio file and right click on it and then select if you want to play it right away or add it to the playlist. If you do a little registry tweak, you can also just double click on the file you like to hear (my favourit method) and the SW sends the file to the Slimserver which is running in the background. If this is kind of what you like to have and do with your squeezebox, the SW is written by Craig, a forum member here. But I don't know if he uploaded his latest version already somewhere. -- cosmo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cosmo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28676 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
