On and off I tend to agree that slimserver is still an evolving interface whose robustness is not yet where it should be. However I take issue with your slur against amateurs. I find that equivalence between "professional" and "better" or "best" to be rather idiotic. Schubert was an amateur, while Brittney Spears is a pro in every sense of the word. Compare and contrast. I *heart* the open-source approach to slimserver. I know I'll put up with some grief from time to time, but I don't expect to face the day when the owner of slimserver (i.e. the universal set) will tell me that I no longer have access to my music as I desired it. Incidentally, that is essentially what happened when that lovely and well-designed iTunes program dropped flac support a few revisions ago. One more comment on the amateur vs. pro question: when it comes to making love, do you prefer someone that loves you or someone that you have to pay for? The answer that you give is what poker players call a tell.
