How responsive would this be? I mean, the standard remote is almost instant (well, sometimes it lags when browsing etc), but I find the web interface on the computer to be terrible. I am used to using Jriver's media jukebox, and it is instant in respons, with the web interface, it takes ages for pages to refresh and to create a play list. For this reason, I create a playlist in media jukebox and then export it to slimserver. Would a PDA have as slow an interface as the web slimserver, or be as fast as the remote? -- Justme _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
