Hi, I wasn't aware of Moose - just checked it out and it looks really good. Much easier and faster to control the player. So thanks for pointing that out to me! I understand that a plugin e.g. for Winamp could be written by someone. I was just assuming that Logitech might want to put more effort here by themselves (e.g. convincing MS to support it directly), as this functionality is bascially what Apples Airplay does and with Airplay integration in many A/V receivers this year, it became a direct competitor for the Squeezebox. -- doozer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ doozer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46085 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87140 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
