[collected] Lets go to the next Level!!

First off……Nice work guys!! Here are a few ideas I’m sure you’ve probably already heard……

  1. Multiroom/Multizone (wifi) with automatic detection of new units coming online and location grouping capabilities.
  2. Playlist support with Drag-and-Drop capabilities
  3. Spotify, Pandora, Songza, RDIO……Love these moving forward, nice work already….Content is KIng!!
  4. Better fault tolerance for mapped drives/usb AND most importantly bad radio channels causing UI not to load!!
  5. …….As I am writing this, mIssing PANDORA desperately. Any chance of official Pandora API? Something integrated natively and not streamed from the client side.
  6. Album Wall
  7. Multi Streaming - Any way to come up with a solution that is based on the server side and not client side? Like a hub and spoke type framework. I have even been looking at hardware solutions for this……

Just some thoughts.
Please let me know what I can do to move the ball forward

Bump.

I like the idea of integrating with online music communities and I specifically want Songza, Soundcloud, and Grooveshark.

Too bad no replies from Mods…is this a black-hole forum?

A lot of the functionality you describe is available in the open-source Squeezebox Server codebase.

Perhaps a good place to start???
