For what it's worth, I find the web interface incredibly clunky. There
has been a lot of advancements  in browser web app technology, but the
web UI doesn't take advantage of much or any of them.

I recognize building a web UI that works cross-platform is challenging
(I do this all day long) but it'd be nice to see the UI updated with
better handling of state changes and updates. The whole page shouldn't
have to refresh just to save a preference, for example, and the player
UI itself is in serious need of updating.

My biggest issue with the web interface is it's very, very slow,
especially for something being delivered over the local network. Adding
in some more current web app technology (AJAX for some of the
page-to-server interactions, for example) would really help.

I look at it this way: the SBS web UI is basically my own, heavily
personalized version of music sites like 'Rdio' (http://rdio.com/) or
'Grooveshark' (http://grooveshark.com/). It'd be nice to see a
refocusing and updating of the UI more in this direction.
