Hey everyone, You're very right. This is something that I guess I overlooked, but that should have been in the back of my mind all along. We should definitely promote the use of open standards and open formats. As for rendezvous vs SLP, they're both IETF standards, so it makes sense to use a single host-detection strategy as opposed to many, no? Unless you're dying to interface with something else that uses SLP... I think RB and JuK should support DAAP for iTunes and Ogg for as many other things as possible. -Eli On Mon, 2004-03-01 at 07:16, Scott Wheeler wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Monday 01 March 2004 12:18, David Hammerton wrote: > > I'm the author of the code you mentioned in your e-mail.
