you can still have a local wired & wifi network even without any internet provider (you just need a router). With this, you'd see your LMS webGUI for controlling your SB players (or be able to control them with smart phone & app. Since you listen to your own music 90% of the time, you'd be good to go with this setup. Now, with regard to trying to listen to Rhapsody via your SB, this might be a problem. Might work, might not work well, and will certainly use a lot of bandwidth when streaming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94901 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
