That's right, you don't need iTunes for Squeezebox, as it is completely unrelated and SBS has its own database for the music library. Depending on your NAS, you may be able to run SBS on it, otherwise on the WHS. In the latter case you could use either the ALAC library (on your WHS, right?) or point to the FLACs on your NAS. Yes, a SB Touch is perfect for your stereo system, as it supports hi-res audio. Unless you already have powerline adapters I suggest trying wirelessly, it might very well work. You can get them if/when you actually need them. 5.1 DD & DTS work great as well with Squeezebox. -Skinny -- Skinny This sentence says less than a list of audio equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skinny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86872 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
