ever since i got a SB, i have felt the same way: love the hardware, want to use it, but generally really dislike the software.
why slim/logitech won't develop plugins to let things like itunes, winamp, and WMP power the hardware i have never figured out. it would be SO popular, and isn't it the hardware that generates revenue, while the complex SBS software is just a R&D cost $ drain? i know SBS has some sync features and so on that you must use it for, but most people don't need or want that, and if they did, they could use SBS already. but most people i know just want to power some HQ hardware simply, with software they already like and know how to use. i hate itunes, but i love winamp. i would much rather use winamp to power my SB. you would think logitech would like their hardware, which is where they get revenue, to appeal to anyone who wants to combine digital music with a stereo. but no, they force SBS on you if you want to use the hardware. its a real shame and missed opportunity imo. no reason you couldn't have both. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 35k mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76038 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
