An alternative would be to drop SlimServer completely and make future
Squeezeboxes work in a more integrated way with iTunes and Windows
media. Now that DRM has been dropped from some of the music and since
iTunes is a complete music management suite, it would solve the need to
maintain their own music management and server software in a stroke. It
would need a thicker client and that's a diversion from existing
philosophy, but it would make it more scalable as well.
Of course there's already AppleTV, but there's still room for a
multi-room/audiophile solution that doesn't need a TV in every room.
