I totally agree.
I'm surprised a better configurtion system isn't in place. I can understand the current approach for a first-generation product, but the SB has had more than enough time to get to this point. Fully capable configuration and status web interfaces are available in $30 consumer routers that make the setup procedures for the Squeezebox look like something out of a network product from 1993. Very primitive, to put it politely. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20407 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
