Thanks! You'd definitely run into problems trying to connect to 'steam.mp3'! And as you say, you'd definately want to open 3483 if you want to use SoftSqueeze. Again this is also possible via SSH. Aha, in fact I've just remembered that SoftSqueeze has SSH built in, so you would need a separate SSH client. However, its straight forward if you did use an SSH client with softsqueeze. Your SSH client connect command which look like this: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 9000:localhost:9000 -L 3483:localhost:3483 -N -f (which means forward ports 9000 and 3483 from "me" through the ssh tunnel to "hostname". (if you are interested, -N means don't open a shell terminal, and -f means fork the process to the background...) Could you elaborate on why stream.mp3 is strange and/or horrible? I steam internet radio (typically shoutcast and lastfm stuff), and my music via mp3 to work. I usually throttle it to 160kb so as not to affect my home upload bandwidth (other people at home use the PC ya see), and it works fine for the most part. All my music is FLAC, btw. I have used SoftSqueeze, and it is a great way to listen to your FLAC files, but thats not always a good idea when listening remotely! I've also had various lock-ups with SQ, but then I'm running it on Solaris..! -- chris.mason ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chris.mason's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33543 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
