Nice! Thanks for the feedback. I will add an entry for the SMC device to
the web page and README. Can you tell me which model you have?
On this page

  http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewCategory&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=11

I can find three models: SMCWMR-AG, SMCWAA-B, SMCWAA-G.
Also, what file formats does this device support?
