I have two unrelated questions that are only partially related to this
thread, so apologies if I am hijacking, but this seems as good a forum
as any.

1) Before the Nokia 770 came along, I really had no need for album art
and the likes. Not knowing its effect on the performance of slimserver
(v 6.1) running on a Buffalo Linkstation (PPC 200 Mhz, 1.4x firmware),
I left it out. However now it seems like it would be a nice addition.
Does anyone have experience with and without album art on slimserver
resource usage particularly on a platform like the linkstation? Will it
make a difference at all? I have about 450 albums, mostly in FLAC and a
few in high bitrate mp3s, so no server side transcoding.

2) How hard would it be to actually create a standalone app for the
nokia 770 that would function like say a sonos controller (i.e. use the
hardware buttons on the nokia etc). I find that the squeezebox itself,
or even softsqueeze on a 3rd computer is far more responsive and zippy,
than using the web interface which cause slimserver to be taxed a bit
more. 

Thanks,

Nikhil
