My 9 year old boy has a radio in his bedroom, and he thinks it's brilliant.However, there are some points you should possibly consider.
In our house, we already had a couple of booms,an sb3 and a duet, so he was already familiar with the system. As we also have a couple of smartphones with squeezecommander/ipeng installed, there are always plenty of ways for him to search for music if he wishes,rather than using the controls on the radio. Searching for music on the radio without a remote of some description can be a bit tiresome. Also, you should probably subscribe to a music subscription service such as Napster/Spotify, and install the relevant plugins on LMS, as it won't be long before their musical tastes diverge from yours, and they won't be content with the music on your server. Finally, as MeSue says, you will need to maintain the server etc etc. The better you get to understand the system yourself, the more fun your kids ( and you) will have with your squeezeboxes -- gruntwolla Debian sheeva plug running sbs 7.5.4 SB3 + my hifi Duet + AE5's 2 Booms 1 Radio Squeezecommander on htc desire ipeng on wifes iphone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gruntwolla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93574 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
