as always, by a disproportionally vocal minority, pushing hard on advanced features, rather than the "best practises for slimserver" methods while claiming all they want is to listen to music. In my time being involved with slimserver, I've not seen a single release that has been greeted with "this is great" for longer than a half a dozen posts before the complaints begin. Now, as 6.5.1 is around, 6.3.1 is the safehouse, yet when that was new the complaints were all the same. Some will still claim 5.4.1 is the only stable version around. Great that everyone has the freedom to choose. This is no different for closed software. WinXP when new, horrible and buggy while Win2k was nearing maturity and working fairly well. I think the real difference is the expectation. Closed source, you know there is nothing you can do, so complaining really doesn't do anything. Open source, things to happen. Some will always believe that complaining loudly is the most effective. Long term viability: if Slim Devices or Logitech ever suddenly vanish from the planet, SlimServer is already public. Anyone, anywhere can add new features until the last piece of hardware goes dark. -kdf _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
