pippin - I think we both agree. I do not want them to compromise the architecture to make it easy for people to use because the arch. is the key reason I like the Squeezebox. Making it simple for a non-techie to run is important but is very difficult. I know Windows Home Server has an API for adding services, that could be a nice path to go down. Might do it via an interface layer on top of the core service so that you can maintain the cross-platform while adding the hooks for WHS. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63775 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
