I'm so tired of this "wired to the router" myth. My Squeezebox server uses a wireless bridge, and all but one of my players connect to the home network via wifi. Only the kitchen player has had trouble, and that's because the microwave would sometimes knock it, *not* the server, off the network. No, I don't play flac or wav. Yes, wired connections are always more reliable, but they are NOT needed. Shoot, I can stream DVD-quality *video* across my G network. 320k MP3, even with multiple players synced, is nothing. My 2 cents on this thread: 7.3 has been very good to me. 7.4, not so much, but then I usually avoid running the betas anywhere other than my development system until public release seems imminent. I, too, wish there was more guidance about where things are headed. I think communicating plans and documenting APIs has always been an area that could stand improvement, but look at the competition -- closed development, and zero support for 3rd-party enhancements. I'm confident we're still pretty lucky to have the Slim Devices folks running this enterprise. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66745 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
