Hi Erland,
That's a very kind offer!  I just got my wife a Radio and we're really
enjoying playing with it.  The overlap between all of the default
applets' capabilities makes it so I'm not completely sure what features
are missing versus what I just haven't figured out how to do yet!

I'm not a graphical designer (though I know some...) but have done lots
of programming in my previous career, so I was attracted to the
Squeezebox line because of the possibility of doing some fiddling with
it.

A few immediate ideas that I've had (perhaps already done by
someone?):

1. A screensaver that shows news headlines (or I guess any RSS feed)
would be nice.

2. An applet/webservice combination for keeping a "listen to it later"
list of things found while browsing the web (e.g. particular radio
programs, podcasts, etc.) that one can then browse from the Radio,
listen to, and delete from the list.

3. A "meta screensaver" that lets you cycle through various other
information pages while listening to music -- e.g. the news headlines
one in #1, a weather screensaver (I saw there is one out there that I've
tried out on Squeezeplay -- it looks nice), Facebook, Flickr, etc.

I'm sure better/other ideas will come along in due course!

Any thoughts (from you or others)?

thanks,
Rob
