I just "upgraded" to Squeezecenter 7.0.1 from 6.5.whatever I had before.
While I run iTunes on my machine, it's there purely to manage content for my iPod. My main music library is all WMA Lossless, and iTunes has a partial copy in a much lower-fidelity form. When I installed Squeezecenter, I made sure the "Use iTunes library" option was unchecked. And yet ... once Squeezecenter had finished scanning my library, it went off and scanned my iTunes library too. So I checked my settings, and the "use iTunes" option was still unchecked. Huh? Next, I started looking around the new UI. While it's pretty, it is DOG slow, at least on IE 7.0. Since I know how much the webbies I work with prefer developing in Firefox, I tested using FF and sure enough, Squeezecenter felt much snappier. Yes, everyone loves to hate IE and Microsoft, but personally, I prefer IE's UI to Firefox. Please don't make me run a different browser just to use my music player. Lastly, I took a look at the scanner logs. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that, despite my being very specific about where to look for playlists and music, Squeezecenter had gone off and scanned all sorts of other locations on my system, so all sorts of whacky playlists created by apps I've used in the past like iPodder suddenly show up in Squeezecenter. So now I have to go and remove them manually, when I didn't ask for them to be added in the first place. Overall, not very impressive. -- Simonfish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simonfish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10334 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47053 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
