There's another difference folk fails to understand and apriciate. Itunes plays files on your pc/mac
SqueezeCenter streams files to you player, meaning that you are independent of the crappy sound software (windows Kmixer anyone etc ) and the PC hardware. Your SC server won't need working sound at all. But as pippin said the major hurdle is Apple they want you to use their stuff. That is also the explanation to why you can't play itunes drm files on the SB. (maybe thats moot now when drm on itms is going away ). But anyway ANY web-UI (not only SC ) is crippled compared to a real program so why web-UI ? *Works on every platform. *Works remotely, you can acess the server and control SC from every computer or thing on your network that has a web browser. Important for us with a headless server or nas and usefull to everybody else. *can be made to work at even more remote locations with the rigth port forwarding or ssh or similar. Controll SC away from home. And using itunes winamp foobar etc to drive the SqueezeBoxes is counter to the whole SB idea it is NOT a longer cable from your soundcard. -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59260 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
