1) Yes, absolutely. 2) I don't know of anything that would allow that right now, but it's technically feasible. It would be better to do this as an applet on the Radio itself, but an SBS plugin would probably also work for you. Right now you could cobble together some scripts to run on the SBS host as scheduled tasks that would at least do a 'half-decent job fixing the volume' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71095) at 0, so the worst she could do is play with screens, look at cover art, etc (make a scheduled task that every night sets the volume to 0 and turns on VolumeLock; and every morning disable VolumeLock, or adjust it to allow a good range of volume). 3) I'm not sure. If you're playing only "local" music, I expect you'd be fine. But if you want her to be able to listen to music services like Rhapsody, she'll probably need Internet access. By the sounds of it, I expect you intend to limit her access to music that you've vetted, so maybe that does mean local music only? -- 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) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.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=77527 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
