MySB.comcom's interface for Favorites is HORRID! Especially for dedicated MySB usage (not running SBS). Absent folders and sub-folders it is just too difficult to manage. I'd love to see them incorporate better MySB Favorites management, if possible.
Without redesigning the entire Favorites architecture, just use the existing SBS program for MySB Favorites management with a couple of additions. On SBS have a dedicated (even selectable, hide it if you don't want it) "MySB Favorites" menu item within SBS to manage and segregate station Favorites from music library Favorites, exactly as it is now on SBS. It also has it's own MySB-Favorites.opml file. But now how does MySB get this dedicated Favorites file? 1. truly "Synced" to MySB.com Favorites? 2. MySB grabbing the dedicated MySB-Favorites.opml file from SBS? 3. upload button to "send" opml to MySB? 4. simple cut & paste of the opml directly onto the MySB server? #1 is the simplest for the user but probably rather complicated for developers. #4 seems the simplest to incorporate for developers and most users can handle cut & paste. Regardless of method the first item in MySB Favorites is a menu item called something like "Linked Favorites" which contains the opml file (just as aubuti & I are doing with a URL through a third party hosting service). We're talking about a simple opml file (basically a text file) so even having hundreds of stored station favorites, organized in folders & sub folders, would only be a few kb's for MySB to host. I have dozens of stations in my uploaded opml file and it's not even 23kb. MySB could even have a 100kb limit which is probably around 500+ stations. *shrug* That's my idea, keeping in mind I know zilch about code or server hosting issues. ;) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86899 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
