I fire it up whenever I need it. But then I'm probably not a representative case, as I'm usually surrounded by SB devices which give me control over my players :-). > 1. I just want to access the controls to maybe skip to next track That's why I did that small popup with only the player control part of the right hand side panel. Rarely use it myself. > 2. I want to really browse and discover music That's rather the case.

Today's browsers are powerful enough to handle lists of thousands of entries easily, no page reloads needed. And JS frameworks are smart enough to handle even larger libraries by dynamically requesting whatever data is needed. The SB Controller app might be unusable on some slower Android devices. But still it shows some of the potential of a JS implementation of a web UI - and it definitely flies on a desktop machine :-). Plus such an implementation would talk the same language as SP, which would make it more future proof (if there is any such thing...). I'm looking forward to helping you wherever I can. -- Michael _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
