There have been requests for uPnP (don't know what netgear uses) support and the ability for MediaMonkey to function as a server for networked devices. Main problem here is that it's often a per device solution and often involves closed source solutions. Unfortunately MediaMonkey doesn't have a larger programmers community that could create these types of plugins.
I guess the Gold version is a suitable candidate for CDDB support then, as the fee at it's current level or at a new level could include the license fee. FreeDB dying, how-so?
I don't know what Netgear uses either, and reverse engineering isn't a piece of cake here I guess. I still don't understand why people like Netgear are persistant in producing a crappy visual basic implementation of a server when they could - at least in parallel - release the specs and have someone able have a go at it ... I mean they can't very well be worried that they would breed competition or erode revenues, now could they?
