    Player only model

    Since cents are being given freely...

    How about player only with a video output of the player interface. This
    combined with IR remote control could yield a TV based control. Properly
    modulated it could be used throughout the house. (For those few rooms
    without PC's)

    Thanks,

    Richard

    I also strongly believe there is a market for "player only" players.

    In whole home or commercial settings, the display is not needed for many
    players. For instance, in a commercial setting, a restaurant, retail outlet
    would start it and forget it. They would probably use the web front end to
    create playlists and control the player. They would probably use a hardware
    volume control for volume. As for a whole home system, since one would
    probably use the players synced with another player, I could see a player
    serving an outside space being used without a display or traditional remote.

    My two cents.

    At the right price, I'd certainly be in the market for one or two of these.

          Player only model

          When I asked about such a device a while back (it would be PERFECT for
          whole house audio/video), it was suggested I just buy multiple
          squeezeboxes and sync them In fact, by pointing a video camera at
          mine, it's kinda similar (but nowhere near as nice!).
