I think many people in the Open Source community are offended by the idea of something being straight forward and easy to use. I think the thought is that if anybody can find and use the software it isn't cool anymore.
It may be appropritate that the FLAC webpage keeps the resources but it is in Slim Devices best interests to allow their customers to have the best experience possible with their product and since third party tools are required to use their product it is their best interest to provide some guidance. They don't have to take a stand and say that what they provide is the "best" answer and everbody else is therefore an idiot. At the end of the day, the easier the product is to use and get the maximum quality out of the more boxes they sell. If they don't sell boxes they go out of business. A product like this is sold by word of mouth as much as anything else. If an end users experience is they went on this website bought a product and followed the directions and now they can listen to CD quality music without having to change CD's they are going to tell their buddies who will do the same. -- dae3dae3 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
