Wow... that is... wow, it sounds like exactly what I want. Thanks for the pointers. Okay, so I've never done any of this before though. I'm certainly game to try, but it's all new, so bear with my newbness. The Raspberry Pi--it's always just a board, no enclosure, right? Are there multiple versions? Are there people who make enclosures that would be applicable to this sort of use? One of my locations is not remotely safe for exposed circuits, the others may be able to handle it. How do you, you know, keep it safe? Small LCD screens seem to be tough to locate. I really only need 4-7", what do you suggest, and how do you connect it up to the Pi? HiFiBerry.com seems unresponsive at the moment, I'm assuming you'd only need the DAC+ to feed to a receiver or active speakers, correct? I figured visualizations would be the hardest part. If SoftSqueeze could be made to work, I suppose I could run that, or maybe even a second, silent, synced player showing nothing but a visualization. And, squeezelite is the player app and jivelite is the remote app, right? Can't squeezelite be controlled directly by keypresses? Maybe I'm confused about what these things do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103588 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
