Unsubstantiated rumors that have absolutely no basis in truth always disappoint me too :) We have NEVER disabled features on desktop squeezeplay in an effort to increase hardware sales. In fact, it's never even been discussed, except in the silly self-feeding rumor mill that is a component of all online product forums. Here's what is true: we have very finite resources in our team and desktop squeezeplay has never received the attention it needs to be a viable product. Our engineering team has shrunk not grown in the last year, enough so that desktop squeezeplay has been downgraded from "beta" to "developer tool". I doubt you will hear any official announcement about this, but squeezeplay on the desktop is not on our immediate roadmap for support. My guess is that it will never be. What mnyb writes about the history of the sync code is the accurate account of how sync has worked/not worked for people in regards to desktop squeezeplay. There has never been a deliberate effort to break sync on desktop. We no longer have the resources to make promises of support for it though. #!/ben -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
