Hi David, gnomus, This has been the major issue (possibly the last) that's keeping me from fully embracing the streaming concept. Not being able to access album booklets via the control point means that I am reluctant to buy albums in digital format. Instead I continue to buy CDs so that I have access to the booklets. And at times when I have the CD that I want to listen to in front of me anyway, the benefits of a streaming system are less clear. The situation of PDF booklets has improved somewhat - Chandos for example makes these available for free (you can download them even if you have not bought the digital album). Naxos makes theirs available but only if you have access to Naxos Music Library (which BTW is a great source of classical music and local libraries sometimes give away free accounts). The other classical music labels seem less keen to share the booklets for their back catalogues but going forward I think the situation should improve. I found that whenever I purchase a digital album it almost always comes with a PDF booklet (however I have not purchased that many digital albums so far). I have entered a feature request a while ago about this issue and both Simon and the Bubble developer seemed very open to implementing this at some point in the future: https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=567 I know this is a major feature request and it is difficult to implement properly but if it could be done it would make the streaming solution incredibly powerful - especially if the implementation was flexible enough to allow multiple PDF documents to be sent to the control point, such as CD booklet, libretto, sheet music, etc. |
