I can confirm the included audio player on the Nokia 770 can handle streaming MP3's from slimserver over its built in 802.11g WiFi.
(Slimserver transcodes from stored flacs to mp3 in my case - slimserver allows you to set the bitrate the mp3's are streamed at; 320Kps sounds very acceptable :) ) It's built in browser - together with the handheld skin make it a very nice (albeit expensive) remote control. Issues for the real world, are secure remote access to your slimserver, and latency / bandwidth issues for access. The open nature / features of the slimserver "platform" make things like this possible. The 770 at the moment doesn't have a Java VM - so no softsqueeze, although given the open/documented protocol, it may be possible to write a native squeeze client for the 770 using the maemo SDK. The question is, what would it give you, over the capabilities of audio playback, controlled by a web interface via the 770's small form factor - but high-ish (800x480) resolution touch screen? I ought to upload a screen capture util so you can see for yourself. -- Grahame ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Grahame's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18998 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
