In my case I am on windows. I just want a reliable software player to run on the server machine in my office. I don't care at all about GUI. Headless operation is ok with me, and frankly I find the GUI on squeezeplay to be bizzare and primitive. It seems to be better suited to a hand held device than a computer screen. I haven't seen the latest version since server 7.4, so maybe its better now. Also, Squeezeplay has been in "beta" release for a long time with gobs of bugs that make it unusable for me. I looked around for it in 7.4 and could not even find it, so the company isn't pushing it very hard. I've found squeezeslave to be the most reliable of the three software players mentioned. I'm very glad that there are developers willing to keep it alive. Softsqueeze is a close second for me, but until recently it seemed to be dying from lack of attention. -- dhull ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dhull's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19653 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63966 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
