It's not really cataloging software at all. The SqueezeBox is a "slim client", i.e., all it knows is how to receive bits streamed from slimserver and feed it into your audio system, plus receive and relay commands from the remote control to the receiver. So you need server software (e.g., slimserver) to feed that music stream to the SqueezeBox. Neither your cataloging software nor WMP can do that.
If your cataloging software writes standard tags, then you can most likely continue using it alongside slimserver. You can manage your library with Music Label 2008, but for streaming to your audio system you would point slimserver to your music library. Note that all of this depends on Music Label using standard tags and standard codecs. I think one place you might be getting stuck is saying (a) you want good sound quality, and (b) you want to click on a file in Music Label and have it play out your audio system. If you can modify (b) to "select a track using the SB remote" then you're in business. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39597 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
