I know this is an old thread, but I have a suggestion related to this topic, and as, I think, just about all the key guys have contributed to this thread it seemed a good place to flag a suggestion. I have just spent a few hours getting to grips with WinSCP, with the sole goal of getting some consistency between my SQ Touch and my other two SBSs (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=612018#post612018). If you are pretty techie it's not that hard, but it is [I]certainly not[/] a "user task"!! It seems to me that a very large number of new Squeezebox owners will have at least 2 SBSs, in some form, "fat" and/or "Tiny", some more than 2 - I currently have 3. It is not unreasonable for even regular, non-techie, users to expect their Squeezeboxes to display Artists/Albums/Compilations etc. etc. the same way across all devices by default. At the moment, due to the pseudo-hardcoding of the TinySC this is almost impossible, and even synchronising "fat" servers is a pain. I assume the reluctance to clutter the TinySC UI is as much about code space as anything else. Why not have a set of preferences which you set up on mysqueezebox.com. Then, by default, each SBS/TinySC gets its (non hardware-specific) prefs from there when connected to mySqueezebox.com, unless "Use preferences on mySqueezebox.com" is un-ticked in the SBS control panel. Instantly all SBSs would be sync'd. Easy for me to say, but it should be a doddle to implement. All the SBSs need to do is copy down the "server.prefs" file from mySqueezebox.com and add any hardware-specific settings to the file. I think it could make a real difference to the end-user out of the box experience. I can't imagine you have not thought of this yourselves, it's hardly rocket science. But maybe you have not fully appreciated how poor it looks when it is just about impossible for a mere mortal to get, especially, music on a Touch to display consistently with those served by a regular SBS! I'm very interested in your thoughts. -- Davidg1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Davidg1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71609 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
