I believe the feature being requested here is integration with mysqueezebox.com, so you could listen to songs on a Dropbox share without having to run your own server. -- cooppw02 cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76495 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Integration with DropBox
A month ago, one of their developers posted that they would be releasing Linux ARM builds this year, but gave no ETA: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=17384#post-108742 So, even if it's impractical to get it officially supported, it could be a really neat DIY project for the Touch. I'm not a Dropbox user, but I like the idea. One reason I'm a little averse to Dropbox is because I caught them astroturfing their service on Digg a while back. In fact, the guy I caught appears to be the same dev I linked to above. See timeserena's comment on this story, and his comment history. http://digg.com/software/Dropbox_GDrive_Killer_finally_launches_plus_Linux_iPhone http://digg.com/users/timeserena/history/comments He couldn't have been the only Dropbox person in that Digg thread. The comments on that page are just stuffed with generic platitudes about Dropbox. They also seem to employ Zed Shaw. I'm already a bit OT here, so I'll just stop with that. -- cooppw02 cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76495 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Integration with DropBox
One of the benefits of MP3tunes is that it's focused on music, and they build a basic server-side index of your music by reading the tags. Also MP3tunes is a lot cheaper, 50GB for $39.95/year or $4.95 a month, vs 50GB Dropbox for $9.99/month. With a Dropbox solution you'd be stuck browsing by folders I guess. There is also no Dropbox API that I can see to make something like this possible. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76495 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Integration with DropBox
It just occurred to me, that this is a brilliant idea. Obviously, Dropbox is very nice being natively multiplatform (MAC, PC, Linux, Iphone, Blackberry, Android?) , webaccessible, general, extremely easy to use, free (limited), and I think fairly widespread. It would make portability a no-brainer and fulfills most all basic usability criterieas. But the really cool thing, is that it would also solve a problem that is old and well-known, and which I posted a query to yesterday: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76487 I.e. temporarily adding music to be played on Squeezeboxes. Will you file an enhancement request in bugzilla. Otherwise I'll do it.

Re: [slim] Integration with DropBox
I was thinking about this also but not for music but for photos for screensavers, obviously flickr has this but you could make a publuc folder for all your family and friends using dropbox to drop pictures into and then these pics would show up as the screensaver. -- trouty00 trouty00's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76495 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Integration with DropBox
The same stands for mp3tunes (they offer almost the same storage capability) and yet logitech has integrated with mp3tunes. So I think it doesn't hurt and even more it can bring customers to suqeezebox since Dropbox has more than 1 million users... -- nicooo75 nicooo75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76495 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Integration with DropBox
I'm a huge fan of Dropbox, but many users here maintain large lossless libraries that push the practical limitations of most services like Dropbox. -- esbrewer Server: 2.4GHz Intel iMac running Mac OS 10.6.2, SBS 7.4.2, Inguz DRC Sources: SB3 (2), SB Boom, NAD C542, NAD T515 Amplification: NAD C720BEE Loudspeakers: Paradigm Studio 20 (v.1), SVS SB-12 Plus Headphones: Grado SR60, Etymotic ER4P http://www.last.fm/user/esbrewer esbrewer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76495 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
