Come on, this hardly seems reasonable. It's one thing to request a feature, it's quite another to demand it. With most products you're lucky to get it to do what it advertises it can do--yet here you're making demands of slimdevices to add new features? They've provided hardware decoding of the most used lossy format (MP3), as well as of what is probably the most used lossless format (FLAC). This will satisfy 90% of the market--but they haven't left the users of other formats out in the cold--they've provided a mechanism to play back almost any format. Rather than spend time implementing every format that a user might demand, I can see why slim would spend their rather meager resources improving other aspects of the design.
If this is such a major issue for you then vote with your wallet--go somewhere else and find a player that suits your needs better. For me, though, the networked-audio-device solution Slim provides is the best I've seen; they've spent their resources to develop an incredibly flexible player with tons of functionality and an elegant interface. My guess is that since you are here at the slim boards then you, too, must find that slim products fit your needs well. Based upon their track record I trust them and I trust that they'll respond to the community and add the features that will be most useful to people. It's not like they're just sitting on their duffs and refusing to update the product or something. How many other products do you see functionality added to on a regular (sometimes daily) basis? _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
