The software I have all sorts of problem with, its outdated. I don't
mind the use of a browser for playing and making playlist and what not
but why not use the new technology thats around? Making a large playlist
now is a pain. I could make one in Foobar or something and then save and
update the playlist but why should I have too? WHy cant I just drag a
song from a folder directly into LMS? I know its possible to implement.
No, you don't _know_ it is possible, you _assume_ it.
How would my server stream the files I drag from my computer to whatever
interface? It can't, because my server is not allowed to access to my
computer's files.
The UI is old and not at all good I think. I like the one Spotify have
for its webplayer, columns where you just click and/or drag. As far as I
can tell LMS haven't change at all since I started using it while the
available tech have change alot. Is there no one developing the software
anymore? Is there alternative? Why sint it open source or somthing to
let others develop it or make alternativ server software?
Perfectly valid questions. I'm sure quite a few people are willing to
pay a few bucks for a good UI. See eg. the various apps for smartphones
and tablets. They prove it's technically possible to do a nice UI, and
that it can sell.
Get your hands dirty and let us know when you're done.
All this have most certainly been brought up before or I would be
suprised.
Oh, I see. You didn't even try to find answers to your questions? Fair
enough: your subject contains the term "rant".
Why Logitech, why?
Because they dropped the product several years ago. It's now up to you
(the community) to improve things.
