>That said, I'd actually prefer to have Favorites residing in just one >location ideally on mysqueezebox.com. > That only works with internet steamed music - radio stations, last.fm channels, etc. For local music, there's no point synchronising to MySqueezebox.com - you can't play the music there without the music library source being on-line, so you may as well connect to it to play the music from that source.
And that's the issue - there can be more than one music library source. eg. with Touch, there will be a TinySC, so there could be a USB stick with music on it connected directly to the player, and maybe favorites stored on that local source. What if a household has several Touch players? Where do the favorites actually get synched? i.e. it's not just MySqueezebox.com and a local music source that would need to be synched. I don't store my internet radio stations in Favorites - I edit them in an OPML file via the OPML editor, and load them into My Radio Stations plugin, so I can access them within Internet Radio menu. It's more intuitive to find radio stations under Internet Radio > My Radio Stations. So these won't be synched anyway. I don't see much point in using MySqueezebox.com; just another piece of kit in the pathway that can cause a failure for playing music in my house. The point of SqueezeNetwork was to act as a server because classic players were dumb. With the new players, they have CPU and storage, so they don't need MySqueezebox.com to be able to play internet radio - can all be done on the devices. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
