smart phone interaction I think would be strictly a controller function, in so called party mode. If a guest queues up a new track, a notification could be put on the "now playing" screen. Maybe the last track added would persist on the screen. As far as what should be on the screen, I would say: - artwork - track title - track artist - progress bar - previously played track w/info - upcoming track to be played w/info. The previous/upcoming track info could included artwork, but be less prominent on the screen since it's really just there as an fyi. As far as smartphone interaction went, it would be cool (perhaps in a geeky sort of way) for the guests to be able to vote "thumbs up/thumbs down" on currently playing tracks. These stats could be put up on the screen in real time. After the party, it would be interesting to collect the data. If the smart phone app required that the user register with some sort of name, you could track stats based on the user. You could even envision a smart playlist that built the ongoing playlist based on feedback from the users, much in a way that Pandora does, but using music from your library. I'm just thinking out loud with all of this... -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch, SqueezeCommander on Xoom.
