RE: SliMP3 or Audiotron owners wanting display capability

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Just while were on that subject has anyone tried any of the other web
interfaces, controllers for the AT? I don't much like the AT default
and
have tried the offering 'alternatron'. Just wandered what else people
were using? 

Many thanks
