I always get confused when I see discussions like this because I can't really picture the applications suggested. While I can see some situations where haveing a volume or mute control on the player would be handy, most of my players are in locations where they can be easily seen but not easily reached, with remotes in the prime listening areas. The local control scenario would certainly be an exception to normal use.
I am even more confused about the desire for LCD screens. I never used to sit and stare at my record album covers as I was spinning discs in the vinyl days, so I am trying to see the attraction of displaying those covers while playing from my digital collection? It is far more useful to see the large print artist/track information along with the cool visualizer dispaly than it ever would be to look at album art. I am also concerned that a small display with enough resolution for album art will perform poorly when viewed from across the room. And I am worried that a product that emulates the cheap and barely readable LCD interface found on my cell phone would ruin the visual impact that Squeezeboxes currently bring to a nice audio installation. I hope Logitech doesn't take the suggestions from this forum as a mandate to turn the Squeezebox line into some sort of LCD driven, iPod looking, digital lifestyle product. -- upstatemike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53903 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
