#MINIMSERVER COMMAND LINE SOFTWARE#

He picked our brains and used us as beta guinea pigs to develop the very impressive Lumin software control point. It was actually an extremely interesting development as a new member on the Linn forum introduced himself as a new DS user and a computer programmer by hobby. I remember when Lumin released their first software app.

The previous poster on this thread mentioned Aurender and his satisfaction with their control point solution. Somehow other companies, particularly the Asian manufacturers, have been able to put forth apps which perform better than the 3 large UK audio companies. The point I am trying to make is that perhaps these companies, Linn, Naim and dCS, belong hiring true app developers instead of trying to do things in house. Our Linn players are now Roon вЂњcapableвЂќ but not Roon certified. Linn users were finally granted a reprieve when, after 3 years of vocal complaining on the (now defunct) Linn forum, we were granted access to a modified implementation of ROON. My Naim friends have endured similar heartache with NaimвЂ™s own proprietary control point software. Since then I, and many others, have suffered and complained about Kazoo for more than a decade. Kazoo came about because all of the open source third party developers eventually realized that no money was to be made working on an app solution for the DS. Linn originally championed open source software and refused for many years to enter the software development business for a control app. I finally abandoned my Naim CD555 player in 2011 with the release of the second incarnation of the Klimax DS/1. I started investigating digital in 2007 with the introduction of the first Linn Klimax DS. Why isnвЂ™t there simply a ' Play from Here' option on the main album play page as well as on the Queue page? So to start from track 2 I have to select вЂњPlay AllвЂќ (which both starts play and loads all tracks into the Play Queue) then go to Play Queue and select ' Play from Here' from track 2, hopefully quickly enough to do it before track 1 starts to play. Yes there is a programming option вЂњAdd NextвЂќ or вЂњQueueвЂќ but this is very long winded if you have an album of, say, 24 tracks - which is not uncommon for classical music - and want to start from track 2 and have to add 22 tracks one by one to the queue ( which will often result in mistakenly adding duplicate tracks or missing one). However I am only given the option to ' Play All' or ' Play Now' ( the latter selecting only a single track). But I do want it to play continuously to the end from the track where I start it. When I select an album I do not always want to play it from the start. I know that I risk embarrassing myself with this suggestion as I am sure someone will tell me that what I want is already available.
