Graham,

This is not the place to "discuss" DDAR vs Audiotron :-)

Has happened before.  We probably need a UKHA_MediaPlayers group or
something because we have Rio's, AT's and soon SLiMP3's joining the mix.
One group per device seems a bit excessive, but then one group with them all
in will just result in Rio vs AT vs SLiMP3 'debates'.

I personally prefer the AT to the DDAR.
I tried getting JRec working but it wouldn't play back my WMA files or pick
up the embedded tags (WMA is not a generic cross platform format, MP3 is.
JRec only supports cross platform at the moment) and so I had no play lists
and just crackles and pops when I manually created playlists.

As with most things, horses for courses. 
For me WAF was important and no way was a DDAR you have to squint at or need
to use a Pc (even a wireless fuji) going to win the day.  The AT can be
controlled from the front panel, which boasts a readable display so it works
for SWMBO.
I can control it from my wireless iPaq so it works for me too....

I can't comment on the JRec functionality because it is temporarily on ice
until WMA's work with it or I go mad and convert all my collection to MP3
having only recently done the WMA conversion.

Sorry this is not the answer you wanted.


Tony
