Thanks. The problem is that from MediaMonkey forums and your messages, there are annoying delays (I use mainly flac files ...) with this plugin. I must say I don't feel like being a beta tester like with LMS. If I have to install LMS, start it with an empty database, and so on, I guess it will be much easier to run directly MediaMonkey with a smartphone application, and replace the Touch by a good USB dac ... With a small silent and nice Nettop like Asrock ones, it may be the perfect solution. I am more inclined to check how easily MediaMonkey can be controlled with a smartphone, than mixing Squeezeboxes, LMS and MediaMonkey. At this point It seems to me that good solution are - LMS get decent files selection and library management, and I can stick it. - LMS doesn't and I have to completely get rid of LMS If I have to get rid LMS - Squeezeboxes can be used without LMS at all (I can accept TinySBS if it is improved, there are simple bugzilla bugs to fix for that) and I keep the Touch without LMS - If not possible, I replace the Touch by a good USB dac and forget about Squeezeboxes. The mere point here is that Logitech is a hardware company, not a software company. They make money with squeezeboxes, not with LMS (which is free). A smart manager should understand that a squeezebox Touch should be seen as a network soundcard from any PC music software, or as a standalone device running an optimized TinySBS. If people want to mess with LMS and its weird scanning, it is there, they can use it, but it should be only another not mandatory option. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
