I would think that a normal user should only be allowed to add single songs (without clearing the playing playlist). And with a power-user password or user-customisable button-presses, should open up to allow adding more than one song at a time (Dynamic-Playlists, MusicIP, Genres, etc.). This to me would seem userfriendly and secure. Interface would be Duet, web and what most people use. I have no idea. (I'm a duet controller fan myself). PS. Erland, I thank you for the great Dyn playlist, trackstat and other of your fabulous plugins. You really make the world a better place... :) -- excalibur ------------------------------------------------------------------------ excalibur's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78067 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
