Please don't take this wrongly, I certainly don't mean to belittle the incredible efforts you have already put into getting Jivelite to where it is now, but having recently spent some more time using the interface with FLIRC and SB3 remote - I can't help but feeling that it needs more effort to get it working in a usable friendly way. Having a full keyboard, or perhaps, a remote with (much) more keys works better - but the limitations of the number/letter keypad is a major stumbling block. You can't use the search functionality (as you can't enter letters) nor can you jump through long lists (to alphabetic indexes). Sure, having control over playback and accessing favourites is very useful, but it really needs to be more friendly for browsing and finding music to be of any great value. As it stands I still need other means (I mostly use Muso or iPeng) to find the music I want to listen to, which involves having another device (PC / Phone) available and powered up, which in my mind defeats one of the main purposes of having Jivelite there in the first place - I may as well just use the other device. (I don't particularly want the have a full keyboard clogging up my front room, just for this one job). If these uesabilty 'issues' can be sorted out then FLIRC and a suitable remote will be an excellent solution, but as it stands now is too limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slackhead's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
