But I wouldn't want it to choose albums for me. Not sure why - but the physical CD selection paradigm which I think many of us are missing contains a critical element of selection. Just glance at a list of 50 album titles and say "that one". Its hard with the squeezebox. Having said that, I'm very happy to have traded that function in for all the other ways I now have of listening to music - I'm certain I'm listening to much more music, of a much wider variety, than I did before my SBs arrived. But we want everything, right? Hence the imaginative ideas appearing in this thread. Since we're all having fun at this, here's my idea. Album cover art for every CD, in the database: software to put the covers in one of a number of orders (artists, genre, album title, etc): holographic projector to throw these onto some space in front of your armchair (or video projector onto the wall if you're feeling conservative): motion detector so you can use hand movement to scroll through the list: click finger to play. Any volunteers?
