>This was debated in the Beta Radio testing program, and I was (am) in >agreement with you. :) I think most people were in agreement. In particular:
1. Entering an email address is awkward - needing to enter @ and several "." characters means scrolling up/down a lot. 2. Some poeple enter false email addresses to avoid spam. Having previously configured an account via the web site (maybe after confirming via email), the email address may be forgotton/trashed. Then, when trying to use Radio, they have to find their email address in order to access the MySqueezebox account. I believe website access used to require an Account name previously? Brand new customers can create an account (email address/password) via the setup screen directly from Radio player, so it's okay for them, but for existing customers it's a bit awkward. Entering a Username would have been easier and more memorable. 3. Most testers complained that they should not be forced to use MySqueezebox.com - i.e. skip this setup step. This is even less appropriate for Touch, where users may only have/want to play local music, or use the embedded Squeezebox Server (TinySC) to play music from a USB device/memory stick, and may not even be connected to the internet. _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
