I think that's a bit harsh, in my opinion. Although the intuitiveness isn't close to something as *simple* as iTunes or an iPod, the *-power-* that is acquired through Slim Server and a Squeezebox more than makes up for it. That said (and I could be going out on a limb here), I don't think Sean ever *intended* the Squeezebox/Slim Server to be dumbed down to iTunes/iPod standards. Sure he wants the company/products to be successful (and sell alot), but the Slim Device audience is different: it's audiophiles who want the finest in modern technology. The typical iTunes/iPod owner doesn't care about Burr Brown DAC's or the customization options available in Slim Server. *-We-* do. ;-) And as far as the skins comment is concerned...-now- I think you're smoking something. Anyone who doesn't see the brilliance of the Nokia 770 skin is on crack as far as I'm concerned. ;-) -- EnochLight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21033 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
