Re: Which Media Center ?



What plugins do you want?  Quantity of available plugins is no
indication of suitability - lots of plugins could just as well mean that
the basic software is lacking in features.

The only issues I have with MCE and Vista are that they insist on using
their dumb database approach to browsing music and movies. HELLO!!! I
want to browse by folder, not filter by genre or artist.  I listen to
ALBUMS, not tracks - an alphabetic list of 15000 mp3s is no f***ing use
whatsoever.

Grrr...
