I also appreciate what Erland does (and I don't dispute the fact that he can ask money for FUTURE versions - I think everyone says the same thing here) but I can't agree that Trackstat makes the squeezebox product so much much better. In the end, Trackstat is a poorly integrated patch on a product that should have had that feature from the early beginning. Rating is not even integrated in the WebUI. You have to use iPeng in order to easily rate tracks. When Musicbrainz changed their database structure a couple of months ago, I lost all my ratings. Not that long ago, rescan would freeeze because of trackstat. 7.7 also has issues with database concurrent access of trackstat. It's definitely an (appreciated) add-on that Logitech couldn't care less about and it creates a lot of technical problems at every version upgrade (= reason why Erland has so much trouble maintainning his plugins). Months ago, I said that Logitech should take erland on their payroll (i.e. to recognise the support he gave during the 7.6 migration). Is it because Logitech doesn't care about improving their product that I should pay a 3rd party to improve it ? I don't think so. Because rating/stats are not native, Erland created trackstat. Because of the need to maintain it, Erland invented licence manager. Next steps is that we have to pay for license manager ? Or perhaps, the access to this forum will billable ? (after all, you spend a lot of time supporting others here) ? -- reniera ------------------------------------------------------------------------ reniera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90975 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
