MusicLobby Pocket PC Released! (Remote Jukebox)
gkerber:
Looks great, and I might consider buying it.
Are there any free trials? Try before I buy?
I've bought and paid for too much software that didn't meet my needs, I like to try first and then I pay (like I did for MC).
If no trial, is there a refund policy if I don't like it?

Actually, I've got 20:10 - no glasses. But, I'm not very observant. Or, I could say that I thought that Mike had come up with an affectionate nickname for me...
Anyway, I agree with you for the most part on NetRemote. I think it's awesome. But, I still might pay $85 for Music Lobby - it looks pretty cool to me. It does have a lot of eye candy, but it also makes better use of screen real estate in some cases - such as browsing the music library. NR takes up space with a scrollbar, and shifts everything to the right as you go down in the tree view. ML can start you with left justified artist names in the by artist/by album view.
Ease of use would depend a lot on how snappy it is to respond as you navigate, and it would require a free trial to evaluate that...
For those that think that NetRemote requires a lot of work, though - that's just not true. True, you can customize your screens, but you don't have to. People have already created some pretty nifty screens, such as the one that it defaults to when you install NetRemote.

Hi Guys,
I'll try to respond when more time permits - I'm wearing about 20 hats today, but I just wanted to clarify.
MusicLobby Pocket PC is not $85 - it is currently $35 and does not require the Windows version to run. It comes with its own MusicLobby Server plugin for MC9 and MJ8.

--- Quote ---Mario, you have a very nice design on the area around the screen in your home theater! But I would be interested in knowing why you have choosen such a light color on the walls and roof when you've got a projector that's already has enough problems showing dark and black images. :)

Thought I'd tackle this one though since it is easy. :)
Actually, I don't have any problems with the contrast from the 10ht. The Stewart Grayhawk screen helps in this area. But more importantly, the room colors were chosen because it is a living room first, theater second. The back wall is dark which is the most important. When watching a movie, I can't even see anything but the screen on the back wall. While yes, I can see the sides, but I don't think dark walls would fly with the wife and/or look good during the day in my situation. Another consideration was that because of my floorplan there wasn't an easy way to stop the colors so whatever color I used in the living room/theater would also need to be used in the kitchen.
I will have a dedicated theater in my next home so I'm sure you'll see a big difference as far as wall colors go.
The room does function well though for normal living. Press a button and voila...instant theater as the screen drops out of the ceiling and all components turn on via MainLobby. :)

Mario, I must say that it's a very reasonable explanation. But as a CRT-man I could of course say some things about the Sony, even with Greyhawk, but we'll do that another time, in another thread. ;D
