I agree, I don't want the responsibility of all that. I just play my music and hope it all averages out. It seems to work well. I don't expect it to be perfect. I think I have said that I didn't like something once or twice. Same with Pandora. It all seems to average out just fine. I don't want a service that I have to have my hand on the remote all the time. That is too much work. :) -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52793 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
