If, without full analysis, it mixes just from tags, how does this differ from simply generating a random mix of a genre? BTW: Because of its slowness, I'm suspicious about how the analysis is actually done. I have a feeling there's this big locked room in India with a T1 line, rows and rows of desks, and..... <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Monkey-typing.jpg> All of the workers gravely listening to each of our tunes on headphones before making their artistic decisions. Seriously, this is such a powerful tool that its really a shame that the setup is a barrier to the non-technical. I'm now comfortable using MIP. However, of the eight friends I've gotten into Squeezeboxen, all bright people, the only ones I will introduce MusicIP to are a computer store owner and a digital engineer. For the others, the setup and ongoing maintenance, when they stumble, would become my job:-( I am hoping that Logitech will license MIP as other companies have and properly integrate it into their product. The old Slim Devices got so much work for free from their enthusiastic user base that it gave management an odd, jealous attitude about outsiders making money from their product. Logitech is a real company with a history of paying real money for what they need. I'm hoping one of the company's "Suits" will read the feedback on this plugin and see the logic in properly embracing this process. -- Harry G ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harry G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
