Also regarding the lack of working headphone on release - could it not be that this is partly because logitech dont actually want the controller to be perceived as a portable squeezebox that can control other SB's, rather than a brilliant controller that can also play music? The latter is better IMO - if people wanted a portable SB they would be a little disappointed, if they wanted a controller that does other stuff they would be amazed by it :)
I cant wait for a version of Soft Squeeze running on it. I have always looked at it and thought 'what if' - one of the first questions i asked after getting my beta SBC was 'can i listen to music through it?' Mainly, i would like a sort of basic DJ feature (although i was thinking more about using the headphones). Thats just one of lots of reasons i cant wait to see the software added to play music on the controller, such as listening to the Cricket results/commentary without interrupting my GF's TV show and still be able to stay on the Sofa with her. Or listening to my tunes/podcasts while moving the lawn. Or jacking it into a boombox... The list is endless. Hopefully a version of Softsqueeze be be available for the Jive platform eventually (if its not already in early development already ;)), especially given how much interest there already is around it. -- autopilot SLIMSERVER:[/B] 7.0 APLHA (WINDOWS XP) + ALIENBBC, SLIMSCROBBLER & LAST.FM. *AMP:* CAMBRIDGE AUDIO 640A (LIVING ROOM) / DENON MD30 (BEDROOM). *SPEAKERS:* MISSION 701'S (LIVING ROOM) / KEF CRESTA 1'S (BEDROOM). *REMOTE:* T-MOBILE MDA VARIO / HARMONY 525 (IR) / *BETA TESTING JIVE REMOTE.
