Why not :) but you cant really "tell logitech" in this forum it's end user to end user with semi official participation of 2 of the devs on occasions . and not the official forum , no manager or any other person with influence ever reads these forums? (Supose we are here because no one localized the server and binned it yet, or maybe it is hidden behind Andys paperbasket). It is known to us that there is barely a skeleton crew left they can barely maintain status quo , so kicking at the devs "for not living in this world" or similar snide remarks does not help . The 2,5 devs we see here is most likely all there is ? May I suggests the official forum it is visited by the likevise understaffed support people (and sadly ignorant so folks come here for amateur support as you have noticed ). http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Squeezebox/ct-p/squeezebox It's excellent for rants, and has greater probability to reach management levels Nobody denies that the software is lacking ? but it's getting old quick we know. You noticed the general consensus on the tiny server "don't use it" consider another solution imo you don't get much out of it. Even if we have very different view on what the software should be, lets face it it's actually going nowhere right now in either direction (there is no direction). My pow is that the server is a good foundation to controll and stream to all players , but my favored UI is also third party . I use mostly iPeng or SqueezePad . Library management works for me I mostly add files to growing library it is not in constant flux (then I would have problem ) kind of neat library like a collection if you get it, visitors stuff simply gets added to it. They where once a lot of people and the development was faster and new players emerged to keep up the interest, and new services. The known agenda now is bugfixes and better MOG app and then nothing ? So is there something wrong with helping each other and make good use of what there is instead of just ranting. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
