What makes you think that existing users use the Squeezebox system as their "main" system for music listening? If that's your premise, then the poll is a little flawed. I would say my reason for using Squeezebox is that years ago, before I'd ever even heard about Squeezebox, I envisioned a system where you'd have a music library on a central network server and that this server would feed music to players on the network. I then discovered that Squeezebox worked exactly like this. The web interface was also a very key component, as it enabled web clients from anywhere on the network to control any player on the network. To be honest, while I think plugin capability is a wonderful addition, it's something that I don't use at all. I've found that any plugin introduced adds a degree of instability to the server, no matter how careful your are, and no matter how few you use. I disable all but a very small handful of built-in plugins and it keeps the server rock solid. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88916 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
