Robin,
I already use A so would need LA and as SlimServer uses MySQL that makes
LAM.
Because I use Jalbum and there is a skin that needs PHP for comments
that would make LAMP !
So day one would be LAM

I couldn't agree more. I use the web interface for admin only. When on
my PC I actualy use SoftSqueeze in place of other media players. This
lets me Grab playlists from other players and means I only need to
learn the one interface.
The remote/payer interface works very well - I 1st
A very useful change for me would be the ability to
have player settings replicated accross all players taking into account the
different types (SoftSqueeze, Slimp3 and Squeezebox
flavours)

My favoured enhancement for 7 would be automatic de-duplication of
playlists. As disk space is cheap I do not worry about the multiple
copies of tracks. When building a playlist by adding favourite albums
it would be great if SlimServer removed the dupes - this would be
particularly useful

The problem with Real Audio is their rules that disallow transcoding and they
do not support an API.
The French are discussing a law that would force Real to allow other companies

RealAudio - DRM. Technialy it probably does not have DRM, I am not sure. But
the point of their licensing etc is to prevnt your from re-using/transcoding

It's a shame because I love the Slim products

a nice cheap solution.
