Yes but please note that iPeng is doing it for different reasons than
Logitech, Logitech did it mainly to just get the logo in the marketing
material while iPeng is using it to make it easier for us to recommend
music to each other. I can agree that so far it might not seem much
different but believe me it will if this progresses as I hope.
I've big problems with Facebook/Twitter functionality creeping into the
system for marketing reasons, exactly as you've done I've removed the
ones made by Logitech from my system since they don't offer anything
music related to me. However, when the focus is on the music it's a lot
more interesting.
But I agree that there has to be more to make it really usable, I've
barely got any music recommendations through mail, Twitter and Facebook
so far, it happens a bit more often through Skype/MSN/ICQ/Google Talk
and through the "Music" section of this and other forums, but in most
cases it happens when discussing with friends and my main problem is
that often I've forgotten the recommendation before I get back home to
the Squeezebox. So some kind of functionality to make it easier to
remember recommendations would be great.
Something else that really would make the difference to me would be
some integration with a playlist sharing service. But besides simple
playlist sharing it also needs to have the possibility to browse and
search to find what you are interested in.
