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 local music libraries in the future. Ignore what's supported in LMS and Squeezebox today and instead think about how you would like it to work in the future.
Do you have a need to let each family member browse their library individually ? If so, where are the music files stored ? On a central computer/NAS, on a computer/NAS per family member or on the portable device of each family member ? If you have individual libraries, do you also have a need for shared libraries which is common for multiple family members ? Do you have a need to keep track of playlists for each family member ? Do you have a need to keep track of favorites for each family member ? Do you have a need to keep track of ratings and playback statistics for each family member ? Does each family member have individual players which only one of the family members mostly use ? If so, should all players be controllable by everyone or do you want access to certain players to be restricted ? In that case why ? Does each family member have their individual remote control/smartphone to control the players or do you also have remote controls which you share between different family members ? If you have a remote control which you share between multiple family members, is it a IR-remote, smartphone, tablet or computer ? How would your dream system work to work as good as possible for usage of local music on Squeezeboxes and portable devices in your family ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98199 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
