Would SC's open source licensing preclude binaries built from proprietary code and encapsulating those APIs and protocols from being bundled into the server to make those services work without SqueezeNetwork? If you can use Rhapsody or Sirius services from a PC, then why not through SqueezeCenter? I go back and forth between thinking that SqueezeNetwork is a very elegant solution to doing these things, and thinking that the whole system, from Squeezebox to LAN to Internet and all the bits and pieces in between, is a bit of a Rube Goldberg contraption. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47952 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
