Talk About it!
That's what this section is all about. If you've got something to air, or an idea which you think would improve the SBLive! Experience, then share it with us by sending them in!

Will I Be Heard?
Many of the features listed in this page have actually appeared in the Live!Ware updates, and incorporated in the 2nd generation of SBLive! products, including the SBLive! Platinum. Creative may have eyes on this page, I don't know. But at least we have voiced our opinions! Remember, if you don't say anything, then nothing will be done about it.
