As matter of interest, Extra Vegetables is a UK based software house that writes drivers that integrate third party equipment into the Control4 platform (google them)

The EV driver needs a third party uPnP server running to "serve" the library to Linn. The driver then reflects what is going on in Kinsky...

To be honest Simon, I couldn't care about the Album art. I'm one of those all for the music guys... If I could find tracks in playlists and sort via "hi res" vs "low res" like I do in itunes I'd be over the moon. Couldn't give a hoot about the cover art. I guess we are all different.

Regarding Extra Vegetables: Does Kinsky need to be running as well, or can you use the EV driver to control the Linn DS without Kinsky running?

Regarding album art: For my own personal usage, I'm about where you are on this. However, a lot of MinimServer users are very keen to see album art when browsing their library.

Regarding playlists: Are you concerned about having MinimServer provide a synced view of all your iTunes playlists? Or would it be good enough if MinimServer had a way to create its own playlists that aren't synced to iTunes?
