Do I understand it correctly, that people think support for multiple
user profiles are pointless unless ratings also is supported ?
So Logitech either need to do both ratings and user profiles or not do
user profiles at all ?
Or is there some minimal implementation of user profiles that would
make sense without having the ability to browse by ratings and even
without ability to browse music library per user ?
For me it feels like multiple user profiles could have some usage even
if rating support aren't implemented.
As an example, would it makes sense to have multiple user profiles that
only offered separate favorites per user
Favorites are pretty obvious, but are their other things that are
really critical to make it worthwhile to implement support for multiple
user profiles ?
- Separate playlists per user
- Separate LastFM accounts ?
- Separate mysqueezebox.com accounts ?
- Possibility to configure a sticky user per device ?
- Separate library browse menus ?
- Possibility to have common tracks that are available for multiple
users ?
It feels like it's important to take this step by step and not wish for
everything in a single release even if the vision/goal at the end is to
have it all. The main reason is that if we only wish for everything
there is a risk it's going to be considered too much work so it will be
dropped completely because of other more important features, like
support for new hardware and new streaming services, which also needs
to be included in the release.
