Solving major installation issues for 99% of the customers and at the same time cater for unhappy (underpowered) NAS users really is a nobrainer. You might be right, that some of the problems could have been solved by mySQL and AV developers, but some times you just cant afford to wait for others to get their act together. Squeezebox installations already lives at the mercy of router companies and ISP's (and many others), that's more than enough risk. (No wonder Sonos went for their own proprietary network, kudos to SD for the work on 7.3.3 btw.). All the power users in these forums need to realize that logitech are now selling squeezeboxes in houndreds of thousands, from retailers in every corner of the world. This is no longer a niche/nerd product. It's the mass market who pays the sallaries these days, so i think it's fair enough to cater to their needs for some time now. And from what I read mySQL will stil be an option in the future, so every body should be happy. -- Letten _________________________________________ Duet -> Audioengine A5 Classic -> Sony surround reciever -> Jamo 5.1 Speakers / JBL 120Ti 2 Boom's SC 7.3.3 on Laptop running Windows XP ZyXEL P-660HW D1 wireless router ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64564 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
