I've got a 9 11 year old. I bought a Radio for them to share about a
year ago. It was getting so much use (and causing the odd argument
about who's turn it is and so on) that I bought a second one.
I already had a Duet, so they were familiar with the menu system etc.
But it hadn't take them long to pick that up anyway. As others have
said, our musical tastes diverge, so they use Spotify and IP radio more
than my music collection. The Radio supports the official Logitech
Spotify plugin; I much prefer Triode's for usability, but the official
one has the benefit that they can each listen to a different stream
simultaneously.
I restructured my library slightly - all my artists / albums / tracks
were under a single 'music' folder. I've now just got three redirects
from a top level folder to individual folders for me and each child.
Then I export each of our folders as separate Samba shares - so if they
buy music from Amazon it downloads to their own folder.
As others suggest I've created a favorites folder each.
Just finished doing a factory reset on my daughter's radio - that's the
most maintenance it's needed so it's all been fairly painless. Apart
from what they actually listen to... damn, I just turned into my own
parents...
