1. it doesn't handle net radio streams as robustly as other solutions. this is all but proven in other threads, please don't argue with me about it.
2. it currently crashes everytime i click "T U or V" in my library. to say that sucks royally is putting it mildly. btw, i filed a bug, haven't heard much back yet. (i think it doesn't like some artwork file, but i can't say for sure) 3. SS itself mostly sucks as an interface. it certainly has its uses, and i'm not saying a web backend isn't an attractive feature, but why must it be the only way in on the front end? 4. lack of a device driver alternative that would allow the SB to be treated as "just another sound card" is really annoying, b/c if SD had such a thing, it would at the very least give me a workaround as to the first 3 issues i've listed. 5. it is a memory and resource hog. it more than doubles any other app i have. and running multiple processes isn't terrific either. i especially don't like the way mysql remains running even if i quit SS. 6. this is minor, but when SS starts, it opens an IE window, (i have IE7), and it goes to a blank page. why? b/c SS doesn't open fast enough. elegant, it ain't. 7. the default skin is very unappealing. hopefully 7 is more interesting. why not incorporate some of kdf's fishbone features into the default? of course, switching skins can be a problem too, as i found out when updating versions. i don't want to change the topic to suggestions or what i want to see, but i do think a display on the remote, to complemen one on the SB would be nice, as well as a video out IF you wanted to use it. (not saying video out for media streaming, but more for putting on top of the screen, translucent like) -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.1 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32104 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
