Hi Jon
Whilst I can appreciate your frustration at a non-working Squeezebox
setup - this "solution" just seems insane!
Its a rather long-winded way to get iTunes control. Trying to find a
way to do this with SS/SB combo is going to be a real fudge - and lets
face it, not what the squeezebox setup was designed for at all.
How about selling the Squeezeboxes (that obviously don't work for you -
have you tried troubleshooting this?) and getting a touchscreen
interface to control your PC? Something like the X10 devices using
Harmony could do this no problem.

Regards
Nic
