Hi Keith, It's really simple: the server (LMS) is a website that lives in your home and understands how to play your music to your squeezeboxen. Also simple is the fact that the server (LMS) lets you also listen to internet radio streams. Also simple is that with a server (LMS) you can have music play to all or any of your players at the same time. Also simple is that a player can be software that plays through a computer's speakers or a "hardware" player that attaches to a real stereo or that has its own speakers. Also simple is that any computer or squeezeboxen can control other players. In short, any computer on your house network can control it all. Also simple is that iPhone/Pad or other web device can control the players and that some Android devices can also play your music wherever you are. -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them.. It is truly the Golden Age of Wireless ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93207 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
