Because they own the mass market for music and if it's Logitech's aim to make Slim more mass market, then they ought to consider it. It eliminates a lot of the hurdles for the average user. In any case, many of us already use iTunes for managing our libraries and that doesn't mean using DRM or lossy formats. The only difference I'm suggesting is that you could consider putting some of what is in slimserver, i.e. reading data from network drives, into a Squeezebox. A thicker client that doesn't need the server to stream data to it. It's additional firmware that may need more memory and perhaps a hike in processor speed, but since we already use up spare cycles doing visualisers, why not use it to grab files directly from networked drives and use the iTunes XML library descriptors like Slim does now? -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
