I think this has something to do with the apparent low takeup of BBC listening on the Squeezebox. Yes there are solutions but Alienbbc is an high maintenance plugin (not the fault of any of the developers involved nor should this be construed as criticism of any of the valuable work they've put in) compared to most others and if BBC listening was part of the core functionality, it might be used more - especially given that data rates are increasing. Realaudio support is a bit of a red herring. The BBC clearly don't plan to use in the long term future. -- HectorHughMunro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HectorHughMunro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16514 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51829 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
