There is "work in progress" on setting up a community forum, with specific areas for users and developers, with all the various "solutions", (some of which you mention above), invited to participate, have their own, (or multiple if requiring user, development, testing, etc. etc.), sub-forums. I envisage a general forum where the merits of a vs b can be discussed. ie. you want the cheapest player solution, go here. You want to run LMS on it as well, here are your options. You want to get I2S out of it without having to use a soldering iron and tap surface mount components or pads, go here. You want to use a Bluetooth device for audio output? You need to go to the "Masochistic Tendencies" sub-forum! ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101378 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
