After looking at the Sooloos system I can help, but think of Moose with
an "enhanced" Touch-Screen interface. From what I can see in the video,
Moose appears to have "similar" performance. In addition to supporting a
touch screen, some enhancements to the Cover Chooser to accommodate big
fat fingers is all it needs. Maybe SD/Logitech should "consider"
acquiring Moose as an "alternate" UI. The Web UI (The so called
Universal Client) can still use some performance improvements, but I
have always been somewhat skeptical about using it as the main
"Player". When listening to music... Play, Stop, Skip and
"Select-the-track-album-or-playlist-you-want-to-play is all you really
need. Allowing anyone else access to the Web UI and its power to
reconfigure the whole system is a bit daunting. All the settings and
the distinct configurations that you can get are great, but I would not
let my wife near it. She mostly uses the SB3 remote and I think I caught
her a few times using Moose from my laptop.

Maybe this does not belong here... but before I kill my 13 year old
nephew, I think some of the configuration options that are selectable
via the remote should be pw protected. Whenever I get visitors I have
to remove the Settings Menu from my SB3 via the Web UI for fear that
guests (specially my nephew) will start the "Rescan Music Library"
during family gatherings. He's done that twice already. I forgot to
remove the Settings Menu the last time the little rat got a hold of the
remote.  I had to explain "again" to the not-so-technically-inclined
members of my family why digitizing my CDs was a good thing. I still
can hear them asking me… so what happened to the music? Why does
it take so long to rescan? (Note: I use MusicIP) I see you have a CD
player, is that working? Why not play a CD?  All of them with a stupid
grin on their faces… and my little fffker nephew giggling
uncontrollably in a fetal position in the sofa. Get the picture?
