I've just installed SqueezePlay to check it out.  I love my Duet, it is
a fabulous unit, it has genuinely freed my music and has been my
favorite appliance since its purchase (if a little fiddly to set up).

JJZolx's earlier posting in this thread hasn't really been discussed. 


I agree with Jim - I don't understand the philosophy behind
constraining the display and functionality of a desktop application to
that of a remote control interface with a ~1 inch display, and waste
the opportunity to use the functionality of a PC.

Why not aim to use the full screen real estate available on a laptop or
desktop to make access, display and manipulation of a music library
easier and more functional. Instead of replicating a remote control,
why not provide the library display and functionality of a MediaMonkey
or even Moose??

Alternatively, why not add SqueezePlay's player functions to
SqueezeCenter to operate in the background, to play from the desktop as
well as remote players?  At least SC has a rudimentary library display.
