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.

Cheers,

Ariel
