You will install SqueezeBoxServer (SbS) on one of the MACs. This is your music database (you point SbS at your music library...doesn't matter if something else is also using the same library tracks. That is, the library could be used by itunes, foobar2000, winamp, etc. AND ALSO can be identified as your SbS library). download a version here and install on your Mac: http://www.mysqueezebox.com/download The Touch units will see this SbS on your local network and you can connect to it. You can play different things at the same time on all touch players or sync two or more to play the exact same thing. p.s. re digital volume. Yes you can do this. I'm no expert on this, but folks I respect report that you're really losing nothing as long as volume is above, say, 70%. This is because the Touch/SbS is using 24 bits for volume control do the bits you're losing are not bits that matter to the music output. (yes, this is a simple explanation and probably technically wrong, but this is the point anyways). -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88125 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
