What kind of functionality do you have in the Squeezebox interface that you don't have on a iPod Touch (and really miss on the iPod Touch ) ? The only thing that comes to my mind is the possibility to look at song details and browse for other music in the same context (for example same artist). And if we look at iTunes, what is the thing regarding browsing and controlling the music library that Squeezebox Server does better than iTunes ? To me it has felt like the last years the focus of Squeezebox(and SBS) has mainly been improvement in scanner, format support and support for new online services and support for new hardware. However, if we look at the ability to browse and control your library, what has been improved the last years ? I personally wish SBS and Squeezebox would be able to continue to the next step and focus on enhancing the music browsing and listening experience. For example things like smart playlists, support for ratings and other statistics, support for classical music collections, support for using the device during a party, support for easy managing and control of many players. I'm sure I'm forgetting some feature but still, is Squeezebox/SBS really better than an iPod Touch/iTunes when browsing and controlling your music listening ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69471 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
