Good points all around, TiredLegs. Yes, I'm not using a Receiver in this application. IRBlaster is limited in its scope, but does exactly what I need it to do, which is turn on the amp and switch it to aux when I turn on the Squeezebox, turn the amp off when I turn the Squeezebox off, and adjust the volume of the amp when I do vol up/vol down on the Controller. I silently thank Felix every time I watch that magic happen. something to consider... The Squeezebox Controller can be viewed as two things. The first is obvious: it's a dedicated, graphical wi-fi remote. The second, maybe not so much-- it's a release of an entirely new software platform (SqueezeOS). It's got a lot of potential well beyond the Squeezebox Controller. cheers, #!/ben "Time is nature's way of making not everything happen all at once." - Woody Allen -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
