Hi,

Im waiting for my windows 7 phone to arrive, currently using a win 6.5
rom'd touch pro 2 as a squeeze box remote controller

The really big ommission of the current controller s/w  i'm using is
the complete inability to do any form of "on the fly" playlist creation
(and adding currently playing or selected tracks) .. I know sbs is very
weak in this area but maybe thats an opportunity to make the client
even more indespensible

The huge huge superb feature of the current win 6.5 client im using is
its ability to pull up automatically (in coverflow style) all other
albums by the artists and when you click on their albums give the track
listing so you can quickly skip to tracks on other artists albums :-)

Where this comes in super useful is when you have various artist
compilations when playing an artist you get all the other artists
albums popping up  .. super super super useful

I think the thing to have in mind is managing large album collections
which is a big weakness for these phone sbs clients ... in the one i'm
using the developer in its latest version has taken away the artist
name from the album view which makes it pretty useless for large album
collections unless your a mind reader  ... its still a great program
and i use the iplayer function a hell of a lot for bbc radio 


the one im using is SLIMCONTROL

http://sc.sciatec.de/

check it out .. you might be able to crib some good ideas from it ;-)

if you can develop one to approach the good aspects of slimcontrol's 
functionality and it has the speed to handle large collections i will
give it a spin 

rgds

ian
