[slim] I messed up SoftSqueeze, how do I reset the menu?
I've reset the player back to defaults, and that did nothing, I deleted it, re-installed it, but I still have the remote stuck on the left hand side of the player, so I can't see what I'm doing. How can I reset the menu and remote preferences? I can't even turn off the remote, as it's covering the screen as well.

Re: [slim] Compilations not working
Success!! I discovered while tinkering with the files that iTunes had stopped using my chosen location for the music library (a folder shared across different user accounts) and had gone back to the default home/music/itunes music location. Annoying as it meant my music was spread across different folders (though iTunes still found it all and treated it properly). I suspect it happened as part of an update to the latest version of iTunes but I really don't know. So, I consolidated the library (within iTunes) and it is now all in the default location. While doing the consolidation, iTunes has changed the way it stores compilations. It now stores them in a folder called 'Compilations'. This is because the rest are stored by Artist. Following a further clear and rescan, SqueezeCenter now sees the compilations as a compilation and treats them correctly! Thanks for all your help guys - it is wonderful that there is such a helpful community available. SqueezeCenter is set to 'use iTunes'. I suspect that if it hadn't been set that way, it would never have even found most of the music (90% was in the shared folder that is not being pointed to as the iTunes folder). So, all good, and a slightly tidier computer to boot (though I need to re set-up m music sharing).

Re: [slim] Who's going to fill Sean's shoes - technically?
I think there is a danger of confusing reliability and usability. Most of the problems people complain about are reliability related, dumbing down and making stuff super noob friendly does not guaranty reliability. I agree, many aspects need to become easier to use, but removing functionality wont do it (although i believe much of it should be hidden, as is the plan it seems). It also does not guaranty it will be a run away success with the 'mass market' either, its a big risk - keep a solid and loyal, yet relitivly small customer base, or radically deviate from the currunt ethos and posibily loss all your customers.

Greed and success are not synonyms.

And their is a big difference between greed and a healthy hunger for success and profit. And you dont need to sell out for that.
