Feels like the solution discussed in the following thread sounds a lot better. It can of course only be provided by third parties as it probably balances on the border between legal/illegal which will make it impossible for Logitech to provide it, but still. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86972 If you have an AirPort Express, you can always connect its line out to the line in in the computer running SBS and use the Wave Input plugin. That probably works already today but it might be a bit too user unfriendly to setup so that probably makes it a less interesting path. For me the only purpose of AirPlay support in Squeezebox is to: 1. To make it possible to stream audio from friends mobile phones 2. To make it possible to stream audio from third party iOS apps/services which isn't available on Squeezebox. As an example, YouTube might be of interest if AirPlay is able to stream only the audio from the iOS YouTube app, but I'm not completely sure this is possible, it probably require an AirPlay devices that also support video. I don't have any need to stream locally stored music from my iOS devices as I already have that music in my SBS library. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
