Andy was kind enough to discuss the interplay between SN/Pandora and the SlimSever on the Beta forum with me. He has suggested an enhancement request to add a radio-tune-in feature to SN so I can shop music at Amazon after clicking a link in Pandora.
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21432&page=5 I think this is a Product question and not just an enhancement and development question. There are 3 products, each with their own interfaces, and they have overlapping functionality. It's a bit confusing because the definitions for each are not yet explicit. Here's a stab at product definition from a newbie: * Slimserver connects the Slimclient (SB) to your harddrive via network. It provides library services for a digital music collection, and it provides player controls. * Squeezebox is a thin client that plays tracks and albums from a server library and connects to preset internet stations. It also connects to the Squeezenet Portal. * Squeezenet is a portal providing account-based access to Pandora and other, user-entered internet radio stations. It provides Squeezebox player controls. The confusion is when I log the client into SN, I no longer see it in the SlimServer because it is no longer connected to the server. I can "tune in" a radio station in Slimserver but I can not in SN. For player controls, the server has it all and the portal has a few. Keeping it straight in your head is dizzying! I think the product is fantastic and would like to see more development of the SN portal as well as greater clarity on the existing feature set. SN represents the greatest revenue opportunities for SD and the greatest enjoyment for the surfer in all of us. -- mark-e-mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mark-e-mark's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21686 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
