For those of you who are living together with a spouse or kids, I'd like to understand a bit better how you would like to use premium online streaming services. Ignore what's supported in LMS and Squeezebox today and instead think about how you would like it to work in the future.
One limitation I still want to apply is that with one online streaming account you will still only be able to stream a single song to one device or to multiple devices synchronized, basically no possibility to play different songs to different devices simultaneously as this usually is prohibited by the streaming providers and won't change in the future. The questions I'm wondering about is related to if you have separate premium streaming service account for each family member or if you are using one account for the whole family. If you have separate accounts, is the main purpose of that to be able to stream simultaneously or is it mainly to be able to keep track of individual favorites and playlists ? If you have separate accounts, do you feel it would be important to be able to listen to the music from one of the account on all player devices in the house ? If you have separate accounts, do you have accounts from different streaming providers or does all family member use the same streaming provider ? If you have a single account for the whole family, are you severely missing the ability to keep track of individual playlists or favorites for each family member ? Do you have any ideas how you would like online streaming services to work on your Squeezebox and portable devices from a family perspective ? How would your dream system handle it ? I'll post a separate thread for local music, so don't use this thread to say that you don't use online services. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
