I know I'm a little late to this old thread here, but I don't see how creating a rich-client windows-based "skin" for SlimServer would conflict with any of those two points. The key is the API. If Logitech continues to invest in building on the core SlimServer API they already have, and make it completely services-oriented, than anybody can create skins that take full advantage of a particular platform. I prefer to browse my music library in Windows Media Player 11 with all its UI richness and album art support, than I do browsing the SlimServer web UI. If Logitech (or a partner, or even this community) were to create a Windows smart client application that could manage all the same things that the web UI does, that would be a very good thing for them. And as long as they stick to maintaining this open API, the options are wide open for them and us. -- lofty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lofty's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12703 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
