You know I have no problem with Squeezeboxes and networking, but I have problems to accept the poor user interface and behavior. Funny that you and them seems to have very few problems with SBS/LMS, and claim everywhere it is fantastic. That's probably why you can hardly understand why people have problems, and what is needed to avoid them having problems in the first place. So you keep spending your time giving advices and tricks, for problems which should simply not exist at all. It would be far more effective to push Logitech and developers to make problems disappear. (asking weird NAS platform, or funny plugins, instead of getting decent library management push them the other way). That's what I have always been doing for what I develop, and what I ask from those who work with me. If you spend so much time helping people, it is because they have a lot of problems, and if they have a lot of problems, it is because the software is not good. Of course it is a lot more fun (and far easier) to spend time helping a lot people and show how good and helpful you are. But it is far more effective to point out what should be corrected (instead of saying everything is great), so that people do not need you at all. That's the difference between geeks having fun, and professionals who make a living from what they develop. I started yesterday to really use MediaMonkey, because I have installed MonkeySqueeze. Honestly, I don't know why I waited so much, and how I could accept the poor library management of LMS. I have absolutely no doubt that without serious management from Logitech CEO and executives to change the geek state of mind which is behind LMS, this software is cold dead. Customers don't care how good and helpful you are. They demand a software good enough so they don't need you at all. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91673 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
