Thanks for your concern but at the moment it's 13:30 here and I'm on my lunch hour. It would be nice chatting, but I won't get home this evening until 19:30 Eastern Standard time (I think six hours after you get there) and I image that you will be sleeping by then. The SqueezeCenter software is what plays your MP3s. (In the future you might consider switching to FLACs because even my 57 old ears can hear that difference.) It does read as though you can hook your iCub directly to your Squeezebox/Duet either using the digital or RCA plugs. Personally, I have a central stereo system for the house and that's where the Squeezebox lives. Mine is attached via a cable, but MANY people here on the forum use WiFi though there seems to be some challenge at times doing that. It actually connects to your PC which would need to be running or SqueezeNetwork which is an Internet "cafe" of radio stations run by Logitech's SMS (Slim Devices). (On SqueezeNetwork your PC doesn't have to be turned on.) The difference as I see it between the SB2 and the Duet is the nifty remote that comes with the Duet. It connects to your network wirelessly, gives you full control of the player anywhere in your house, shows you albums covers, displays the weather, displays RSS feeds, slices bread....well, not yet ;) but it does a LOT! If I were starting with things now, I would purchase a Duet, but that's my personal preference. -- Secret Squirrel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Secret Squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4984 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
