Dave,

Rioplay is still cooking along for me!

I see what you mean about power on. I had been spending time figuring things out so I kept cold booting to get the client reloaded.

On cold reboot, maybe you could add an optional default tag in the streams.cfg file that be the title of the stream (or playlist) to play on a cold boot. I know that perpetuates messing around with the tar file, but at least if you stick it there, when you get around to dealing with that you will have it all in one place :-)

Two cool features that I have thought of are MP3 Pro support and volume leveling so that songs recorded at varying voume levels are adjusted so that you don't have to continually adjust the volume on the stereo amp. Volume leveling doesn't seem to be necessary for Intenet Shoutcast streams, but when playing my own MP3s through a stream or from a playlist there is quite a bit of volume difference.
