Ben:

I have been using the newest skin available for Mac (nightly updates
aren't regular for Mac).  I am curious about the "New Music" and
"Favorite" selections on the main menu.  First, to me the "New Music"
isn't really that helpful.  Do many people use this option?  It just
shows the 100 most recently added songs to the collection, right? 
Second, I still haven't figured out how to add songs to "Favorites". 
Every time I try to access that feature on the 770 it shows my favorite
list is empty.  Overall, performance is significantly faster than
before.  I think that update to 6.5 on the image rendering thing (can't
recall exact name and too lazy to look back in thread) really helped us
out.

On a related issue to the streaming to a 770.  I set my wifi router up
to public port my stream server.  I was then able to access it from
other locations via www.  It was really cool.  I went to Starbuck's
typed in my address and it went straight to  SlimServer running 770
skin.  I was able to access music (with images too) and play songs. 
The only problem was that the connection was slow and the songs
sometimes needed to re-buffer.  Also, it was slow to browse between
pages.  However, I haven't tried it again now that the recent version
of 6.5 improved the image rendering thing.   I don't know if the speed
issue is due to the image rendering, my internet connection at home,
internet connection at Starbuck's or nature of the beast (trying to do
something that wasn't really an intended use).

Ben you are doing an awesome job on this and I for one, really
appreciate your efforts.

P.S.:  Great avatar.  When I read your posts, I sometimes imagine that
kid's voice from the avatar.
