Looks like we need to ream the Slim guys for making the forum work
poorly.
Oh well, the SqueezeBox ROCKS even if the forum has its pitfalls! ;o)
no one needs to be reamed. Unless, of course, they are into that.

I think the album art is a minor point anyway. I agree with his general point -- a bundled package would expand the market for the SB while not removing any of the features/benefits we currently enjoy. Unless one of the features we enjoy is being members of an exclusive club?

I am thankful for the people who have put their time into the product, but I don't think the reaction was warranted. This guy raised a valid concern, and is hardly the first to have done so. I guess you could be angry he hadn't searched the archives and realized this, but I don't see how such
The guy was just making a point -- I don't think he was attempting to be mathematically precise. I think it is generally accepted that the number of non-computer technical people is significantly larger than the number of technical people. I'm pretty sure that was all he was trying to say.

I think there is a difference between people making suggestions and people hovering over you while you work. I create and support a lot of software tools in my current job. I value suggestions, even ones which are clearly unrealistic or not thought out, because it shows me how users view the tools
