For the non-geeks, there's always the iTunes integration. It works pretty well, AFAIK. But if you don't want to use iTunes, you have to go through a long process I call "fishing for the right apps". You then you have to configure those apps (like EAC, for example). Maybe someone could put together a SqueezeCenter "distribution" that would come with everything you need. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43491 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
