Gary - Slightly off topic but what do you think of the Audioengine A2s ? I am considering a pair for our Guest Room driven by an O2 Joggler (USB) or perhaps a Touch (RCA) but they do seem expensive compared to other options e.g. Alesis M1 Active 330 USB at about half the cost which have the bonus that I already know they work over USB with a Joggler. On topic. I can't test Chromecast (Phillipe's plugin) with Pandora being in UK but I can't see why it wouldn't work as it is an instance of squeezelite inside LMS but as I say I can't test. I'd put a Chromecast into our Guest Room but I currently have plenty of other spare kit. Note. I use my Chromecast to a small headphone amp at my bedside. It is only ever used in this stand alone mode and never synced.
