Without getting into the specifics, I can save you a lot of time by telling you that the Squeezebox and slimserver will not be a workable solution for what you're trying to do. The squeezebox is really quite different from virtually any other networked audio players out there (except the roku, which is similar in some ways). First: a squeezebox WILL NOT play music from the itms. And you MUST interface a squeezebox with either slimserver or the slim-hosted version of slimserver called Squeezenetwork (Squeezenetwork allows you to listen to internet radio without having to run your own copy of slimserver); you cannot simply point a squeezebox at a url and have it play. Squeezeboxes are unable to do anything without Slimserver; they're simply dumb terminals. It sounds like you still don't have a very good idea of how a squeezebox works. The best way to figure it out is to just try it yourself: the server software is a free download and comes with a squeezebox emulator (softsqueeze) which will allow you to see exactly what a squeezebox is like. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25765 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
