Hi Simon

Thanks for the feedback.

The plan is for V1 to be the features you have right now PLUS the
ability to load favourites and playlists by name.

Once those new commands are available, we'll be moving to Beta testing,
getting some new testers involved, addressing the DE language version
which has fallen behind a little and fixing any bugs that arise.

Once that's all ready, we'll submit for Amazon certification and run
that particular gauntlet. 

Once published for Amazon Echo, I'll be doing a version for Google Home.

With all that done, I'll then start working on V2 which will include
support for synching and groups, loading content by artist/album/track
name or genre and possibly other features as they are requested.

One of the key blockages to having artist/album/track requests right now
is that Amazon have a beta library that supports this natively but it's
only available for US skills right now. I'm waiting for that to be
available for UK and DE as well because there's no point in trying to
implement our own version which would be far inferior.


In other news, I really haven't been able to dedicate time to this
recently. We've stalled a bit because of that but I am inching forward
and will be getting those new features out and commencing Beta just as
soon as I can.

Peter
