I have to say that in general, the server software is pretty poor. I can kind of understand that from the Slim days but there's far too much that just poorly implemented. Unfortunately, there seems to be a significant hardcore of long-term users who have grown up with this way of working & appear to believe that because they've learned the software's foibles the hard way, so should everyone else. Equally unfortunately, Logitech seem happy to keep dabbling with the existing software, trying to make it do new things while repeatedly breaking things it already did.
It appears to me that these users are so effective in shouting down & indeed verbally abusing anyone who dares to question the software's usability, that Logitech believe they're doing it right. We often see the argument that we should accept flaky software because it's FOC. That might hold some water if it weren't for the fact that use of the software is compulsory. I firmly believe a complete re-write is required, embracing the best of the plugins while implementing a look & feel that is more in keeping with a consumer product. Logitech seem to stubbornly refuse to recognise that the vast majority of people who buy Squeezebox are wanting a music player & not a new hobby in network/software troubleshooting. :( -- rbz5416 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rbz5416's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12089 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72575 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
