I would say that for most users (but certainly not all), the SBS web ui isn't the preferred interface. Rather, most people turn to one of the remotes, such as an SB infrared remote, SB Controller, iPhone/iTouch with iPeng, Android phone, or other device. One of the main ideas behind SBs is being able to control your music without sitting at the computer.
If you want a more refined front-end than the SBS web ui, you may want to look at Moose or muso, which are dedicated Windows applications for controlling SBs. Finally, the SB protocol (slimproto) is open and documented, so it should be possible to write a Winamp plugin to control Squeezeboxes, though I'm not so sure about WMP's capabilities in this regard. For example, someone wrote such an interface for foobar2000, software that may be considered in the same "family" as Winamp. Someone just needs to write the Winamp plugin. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87140 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
