KDF, While some posts in this thread do seem to have a bitchiness about them, I do think some of Slim's CUSTOMERS do have a point.
Some users bought this sytem to just rip their CD's and start listening to music. They did not expect to become a sysadmin. I recently had some synch problems with my 2 wireless SB's. Just out of curiosity, I thought I look at the Sonos forums to see if their customers had the same problem. A poster there was asking for a purchase recommendation of Slim Vs. Sonos. One of the replies from a former Slim owner made the very point that Sonos is a plug and play system for non-computer literate music lovers, whereas Slim requires a degree of constant tinkering/upgrading. That's fine by me, but many people find iPod/iTune confusing. They are clueless about computers/software and want something that just works. Apple have focused their business around building computer products for people who don't care orwant to know about how computer work. They want something thy can switch on and be productive. Now, as for the Various artists issue, iTunes will tag all of your Various artists tracks in <1 minute. You just need to be able to identify them in your library. I suggest that Slim add some guidance for users to the release notes prior to download giving some guidance on any new behaviour existing users may see after upgrading. Then users can make an informed choice on whether to upgrade or live with existing bugs. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25070 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
