I have my PC serving SC, and a bunch of players. Occasionally, I use a netbook in the lounge, or a PDA in the bedroom, but in both locations, I'd usually interact with the player directly (ie. IR remote control). I often use a web browser on the PC that serves SC. eg. for controlling a Boom box that is in that room on a bookcase behind the seat. I use a web browser occasionally from work to control music playback through a remote stream, or just for browsing the music collection. I don't find the SN web UI to be much use. I don't use SN much, but the SN web UI even less. I saw it as not much more than a way of setting up access to services for SN connected players. Does it provide much more than what you can do through a player directly? i.e. controlling local music playback through a web browser is quite nice because you can see a lot of your library on one screen, including artwork. With SN, you're mainly selecting a single radio station or service to play? I've not tried using the SN Web UI from a PDA, but I'm guessing it wouldn't work too well (I think the page uses frames, and the controls are on the right-hand side of the page). On the other side of things, aren't web browsers good at storing bookmarks/favorites? :-) I have SN bookmarked, so if I did need it, I could get to it quickly. Thinking about it, it's a bit weird that there's not a link to the users SN account from within SC.
