Squeezebox & SqueezeCenter are compatible with Pandora if you live in the US - without a workaround, you can stream different songs to different Squeezebox Receivers/Booms/PC clients and SC has an ipod phone/touch plugin/skin and at least three iPod apps (the one I have tried is a joy to use). You will still need your PC on though unless you have a NAS capable of running SqueezeCenter. -- PurpleSqueeze ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PurpleSqueeze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58639 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
