Why is there no native fat client for the SS? Something like iTunes, that caches all relevant stuff and then updates only changes and deltas from the server, then uses all the stuff locally and only access media from the server when it is clicked for play? Something that is instant and something that displays huge cover art and allow scrolling through all the albums in a library on a single (very long) page? Let it build a local library, allow for updating and rebuilding, access only the media by itself from the server but keep everything else local.
I think that the Web interface is really slow and never can't be as instant as a native GUI client. The iPhone/iPeng resolution is too small and can't be a substitute either. Eventually the new iPeng for iPad? The device is faster and the resolution ist greater but it will go over network and still can't be as instant as a native client. Will it cache every fullsize coverart without downconvert and all the lists? The iPad has 64GB, at least caching for everything may be an option for those that want instant performance. -- starcat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ starcat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15970 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80556 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
