Some questions (to you or anyone else that wants this):
1. As a minimum, what would need to be separated for each user ? Separate favorites for each user is obvious but is there something else that would be critical to make it useful ?

2. Do you want complete separation so one user can't access information for another user, or do you want some kind of browsing separation where you are able to access the favorites for all users but by default you see your own ?

3. Should it ask you for a user name every time you power on the Squeezebox or does it power on with the previously selected user and you manually have to change to another user through a menu option ?

You guys think maybe you could get a few more topics going in this thread? There's no sense in taking up too much room in the forums.

I don't think the roadmap on the wiki is valid anymore, the roadmap that is valid is only known internally within Logitech. I wonder if it would be a good idea to add some information about this to the wiki page to avoid confusion ?
Would probably be a better idea to add some good bugzilla links which people can use to list bugs/features targeted to a specific release and possible links to forum posts/threads that describes something useful related to a specific release.

Neither 7.6 nor 7.7 nor 7.8 is even mentioned in the roadmap on the wiki except for links to the changelog of 7.6.0, parts of the 8.0 roadmap entry, the new scanner work, is already included in 7.6 and 7.7.

1. Libraries (what combinaison of folder to scan), favorites, ratings.
2. 3. A new entry in the menu allowing anyone to select one user profile, those being defined in the admin interface, would be enough.

Separate trackstat functionality including, but not limited to, ratings. How I rate songs is not the same as how my daughter does (in fact, they may be anticorrelated )

And a separate scrobbling profile for last.fm!

Let's be clear. We don't want trackstat evolution but an implementation of those functionalities in the core product by logitech.
