[slim] streaming to Squeezebox

So I'm wondering if there is a way of taking music that is streaming to an iPad (NOT stuff that is stored on the iPad) or a Mac (perhaps iPad preferred) and sending it to my Squeezebox. Why do I want to do this? Well, my SB is the only piece of equipment I have that can provide sound through my

Sorry- one more question: I assume that the Harmony does not offer the full Controller command menu. Can somebody tell me if "favorites" or "playlist" selection is possible using the Harmony? I know I can use iPeng, but I'd like to simplify this setup for other household members. Thanks again.

I assume that the Harmony does not offer the full Controller command menu. The Harmony system still is one way only: you can only send commands to your system, but it can't interact with it. There's no such thing as browse menus on the Harmony, because it can't receive that data. --
