Thanks for pointing that out. I don't have access to a slimp3 but if its very different I guess that means an extra column for some volunteer to fill! Looking at the Transporter emulation in Softsqueeze, it appears not so much that its different from an SB, rather that there are a few extra options which I think is easier to handle (I have an example in my prototype table). > > > It is scheduled for an update, but even in 6.5 the setting mechanism is > entirely dynamic.

Is this something do-able or just a glint in your eye? :) Thanks Ceejay -- ceejay ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28086 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
