Just buy a Squeezebox Classic. Seriously. You'll get better sound, it will sync perfectly with other Squeezeboxes (unlike SoftSqueeze), it can access all the SqueezeNetwork music services, it can turn on your PC via WOL, it looks much nicer than the vast majority of media center computers... all you need is to write a screensaver for displaying whatever info MCE info it is that you care about. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51686 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
