But reread his response. You shouldn't be disappointed. He said: > > "We do also have - in our closed beta - an applet that allows you to use > ickStream on the Touch without any server but that uses our ickStream > client side protocol so you would also have to use an ickStream > controller to use it, the Squeezebox controller Apps would not work." So your Touch could work to access music services, internet streaming, etc. similar to mysqueezebox.com WITHOUT the use of a local server. He notes that you need an ickstream controller, but this just means an app on a smart phone or tablet, etc. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102497 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
