Its actually not esoteric at all. I have five squeezeboxes, each in a different room. A friend will often visit with a laptop (or my SO will have some audio on her own) and want to play some music for us, or for themselves while working in one of the rooms. Without having to extend a wire to their laptop from the stereo system, which in several cases doesn't involve a preamp other than the squeezebox at all, they would like to be able to play music from itunes. This is fairly common in apple households. Visit a friend, "oh can i play something now?" "sure, take over the airtunes target MYSPEAKERS" "ok, here you go, listen." "ah, such nice music." No futzing with wires. In the combined AEx/SC case, an item "Remote Airport Express" would be shown the same way "digital input" is shown on the transporter. And, sure, wavinput would probably work except it doesn't work on macs. All our machines here are macs, including the SC. -- chroma ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chroma's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67747 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
