3. The software it comes with (simplecenter) is a beast of a java app, completely devoid of features and options, and is terrible about updating its tag database when changes are made. Sometimes it takes moving files out of your music folder then back in for it to recognize changes. It also has a 10,000 song limit (which is thankfully defeatable via a hack you can find on the very useful omnifi forum on yahoo). There are some other pieces of software which people are trying to develop to replace simplecenter but I haven't found any that are really useful yet.
6. I use the wireless adapter to sync from my computer in the middle of the night and whenever a wireless sync occurs the "resume" position is lost so that when I turn my car back on I have to queue up my music again.
A couple questions about this -- is the simplecenter software a server like slimserver, or is it a client that you can fire up only when you want to update the contents of the car's hd? I keep a pretty tight reign on my mp3 collection, so I don't mind much if the synch with the car HD is a bit of an involved process. But given that my slimserver is on a linux box, which exports my mp3 collection to my windows boxes over samba, I'd need to be able to run the simplecenter either a> on my linux box (which is console only, no x installed) or b> on a windows client with read-only access to the mp3 library.
How was the install? Did you do it yourself, or did you have it done?
