Unless you are using ONLY mysb.com (for internet radio and music services like pandora, spotify, etc.) you MUST have your own computer to listen to a squeezebox player. That computer can be a PC, a Mac, a NAS or other headless small computer that can run SbS/LMS, etc. (note, yes, one can use the "tinySbS inside a TOUCH, but I'm not really counting that for serious use). And even though I have a computer with my music (running SbS or LMS), the computer is in a different part of the house and nowhere near the music listening post. That is, this is a benefit of SB over just having the computer connected to a DAC connected to your stereo (which is what I used to do until I discovered SB players that allowed me to get the computer out of the room and to get away from any and all issues related to what the computer did or didn't do with the music stream with its soundcard/OS.). -- garym Location 1: Vortexbox Appliance 6TB (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: Win7(64) laptop > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
