The Radio and Touch are "Smart" devices (the Controller with minimum resources). All Squeezeboxes prior are "Dumb" devices and that is why they need a Server whether it is SC locally or phone home to SN. For what is to wonder why about the SB2? It is impossible for an SB2 to function on its own to play local music because its a "dumb" device that currently needs either a Server or a "Smart" device running TinySC to be able to play local files. And even if something was created on SN to play local files, I would think a local server would have to be on so its back to SC and "Dumb" devices. I see the point, but to me, we are just now getting there with this new generation of Smart devices. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66745 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
