I Know what you mean, but you choiced to build your - great - app on top of LMS, it was already there and was not any better in this matter, so what? a. cut users hands, fight against Audiophiles, teach users they are evil... b. work on the 'system' (LMS and your app) and make it 'rock solid'. Since many people is using LMS and not your app and other develpers claims his product, based on LMS, is 'Audiphile', I think will be difficult to move the standard where you want LMS to go, then the only realistic way you have is to fork LMS, make the 'pippin version of' and restrict service only to users that use your version. Costs too much? ... ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104227 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
