Done :). Did not find SqueezePlayer, but SB Player is available. 
Installed, found my server and working. Then set up the Z625 with SPDIF,
and sounds great :)

Aha, how do I do that?  The settings screen does not display too well,
but I suspect that is due to the old TV. I'll post a picture in a SB
Player thread tomorrow.

just mute the TV.

Good to know.

browsing server settings / plugins, I saw it; I'll take a closer look
tomorrow.  In any case very happy so far.  

Tomorrow I will also get out the SBT and see how well the two sync.  But
that is for tomorrow, bed time now.  Thanks for the various help and
tips.
