Uhm, Sirius controls it's rights via it own log in and password. As long as the SC has some way of storing and sending this information, there would be no need for SN to be in the way at all. If the there needs to be some sort of transcoding for things to work gracefully, I don't see why SC can't do it as well (it does all sorts of on-the-fly transcodings already). About the only advantage that SN provides that I can see is the ability to listen to 3rd party streaming media if you SC server goes down. However, if my SC server machine is down I have much bigger issues and probably wouldn't be listening to music at that time anyway. -- apb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ apb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17615 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47952 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
