Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I would like to see the text scrolled on the display. I thought maybe if there was a way to convert .txt files into RSS feeds, that might work. Haven't found a way to do that. And to respond to the other poster, I was envisioning a Squeezebox in a waiting room, not portable (though that would be cool). -SL -- Sam Lowry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sam Lowry's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3447 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21893 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
