She keeps pressing up/down instead of left/right and generally getting in a muddle. The Web interface may not be that pretty, but for simply selecting and playing an album, its functional and easy to work out.
I agree though, a proper app would be really nice. Perhaps once the threading issues have been sorted out in a future release, to seperate the database, streaming and GUI components, it might be easier to build additional UI's. I would imaging that the web UI would stay in the default installation to support all platforms, but a third party may provide smaller dedicated GUIs. Eg. maybe a simple UI to start/stop/pause/ffd/rewind, and another one to select music to play. In fact new UI applications can be written now that use the CLI to get information and perform actions. I'm not sure how slick these apps would be using the CLI though - are there any threading issues, eg DB access/locking?
