Re: [slim] Rhapsody on Slim

2005-03-10 Thread Vidur Apparao
I would very much like to hand over ownership of RealSlim to an 
interested developer. My suspicion is that getting it to work more 
reliably and with v6 is not a huge undertaking.

Kevin, you're right - it is in need of TLC. I would love to fix it (if 
for no other reason, so I can resume using it myself!), but my 
employment with Slim Devices makes it hard to do so.

Anyone interested in taking it over?

Re: [slim] Rhapsody on Slim

2005-03-10 Thread Chris Glushko
Maybe this has been discussed before, but why not just
openly support Rhapsody??  Wouldn't this benefit both
Slim and Rhapsody?

I'd love to see Rhapsody support added to slimserver v6 be this by way of
Realslim or official cooperation with Rhapsody.

There may, however, be a drawback to officially supporting Rhapsody.  I've
had the opportunity to use at least 2 devices which officially support
Rhapsody (the prismiq and the omnifi) and I actually found at least one
aspect of their support to be inferior to what Realslim provides:  on the
prismiq you are limited to browsing your library (you can't search the
entire Rhapsody library, nor can you add albums/tracks to your library from
the device).  Through reading some of the prismiq documentation I've come to
believe this is actually a limitation of the official rhapsody protocol.
I'm not sure how realslim currently provides this functionality but I sure
do find it handy.
