And I think most Squeezebox owners (sadly) don't even own two Squeezeboxes. The trouble here is mainly one of user interface. It's simple if you always only change the "local" volume (as SC/SBS do now), or if you always change all synced players' volumes. But how do you -- within the confines of the Boom, Classic, and Controller buttons & screens -- give users the choice of either changing the volume on all synced players or only the local player? Offering both local and group volumes are easy with touchscreens as on SB Touch and iPod Touch, but not so easy when you have simpler screens and dedicated volume buttons. I've thought about adding group volume control to SyncOptions, but the biggest problems are motivation (in years of owning multiple Squeezeboxes, this is a feature I've seldom wished for) and the user interface question. But maybe I'm wrong about the UI; maybe some folks here really would like volume control to *always* affect all synced players. Is that right?? You'd never want to only adjust the "local" volume? -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70903 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
