I have to say that LMS or Squeezebox Server in its database roll leaves
a lot to be be desired. That is where Logitech can make huge
improvements in the Squeezebox brand. It's an audio delivery system and
diverting resources to making it a multimedia server has made it a jack
of all trades and a master of none.

I like the squeezebox concept but I just don't like the database
management and I have no intention of using the interface with iTunes.
Hi end audio, you have to be joking.

At present I manage the MonkeySqueeze script which interfaces
MediaMonkey with the Squeezebox system. It's not perfect but it's
getting close, especially now we can sync playlists between the systems
on the latest Alpha release. Why am I pushing the
MonkeySqueeze/MediaMonkey angle? It's not for money as MonkeySqueeze is
freeware and you can use the freeware version of MediaMonkey with it.
It's one way of linking a very good music management tool with a good
music delivery system.

MediaMonkey is not perfect either. It doesn't have the useful plugins
that are provided with LMS so it's not a direct swap. Both programs
have their uses. Just a pity that it's proving difficult to find an all
in one solution for audio delivery.

Squeezebox will continue to live on the edge of usefulness until
Logitech give it the resources it requires to improve the interface
between the user and hardware. Maybe they can form a relationship with
MediaMonkey, but whatever they do, now is the time to do something
positive for the system.

Food for thought
