No, our LMS "Favorites" are all internet radio stations, and we don't use any kind of favorites for local music > Do you have a need to keep track of ratings and playback statistics for > each family member ? no, we don't use ratings or playback statistics at all now, and that wouldn't change if we could do it separately 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 ?

We share our SBCs, and I also use my iPod and iPad. My wife doesn't want any SB remote control on her iPhone. > If you have a remote control which you share between multiple family > members, is it a IR-remote, smartphone, tablet or computer ? Shared controller is mostly SBCs, but sometimes IR-remotes > 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 ? Compared to the current LMS: - better searching from remote devices (esp complex searches) - more flexible intelligent mixes, esp from remote. For example, something like MusicIP's ability to vary strictness/variety wrt to seed track, but without digging way into the guts of the server settings. Or for that matter, being able to select a set of tracks for the seed, as is possible with the MusicIP GUI, but not the SB implementation - outside your control, but better battery life on the iPod Touch. Mine is 3rd generation, so maybe that's already been improved. Or not. But lots of the time at night I end up listening to the lossy versions on my iPod rather than turning on the wifi and listening to my lossless version via LMS and iPeng.
