Rainer glad to inspire you. I love the Raspberry Pi, Max2play and Hifiberry amp setup, it's compact size allows you to get real creative with it, you simply can't customize your setup like this with off the shelf products. Although I think the price point of the Hifiberry amp is a little high,

Using a speaker kit from Parts Express I made these bookshelf speakers with a Raspberry Pi and Hifiberry amp inside. It's a very clean setup, connect the other speaker, data if you choose, power and you're good to go. Custom speakers playing whatever you want and controlling it all with a

I'm running audio out of the headphone jack for now and I've got to agree with others, it sounds pretty darn good. I'm running LMS off a Netgear NAS that I've had for years, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but I'm pondering setting up the LMS on a Pi since I'll have more 3rd party options if I

I would really hope that could happen philippe_44 because if I could get Rhapsody playing on my Picoreplayer it would be a beautiful thing. If Rhapsody did that I think it would open them up to a very large market. Imagine the potential of small and affordable players that could stream Rhapsody,

I might be wrong about this but in my research there isn't anything that comes close to replacing a Rhapsody/Duet combo other than the SB Touch and SB Radio. This is a serious downer for me because I have a stack of SB Receivers feeding a rack of amps for my whole house audio system and in order

Can some one explain this change on Logitech's side? I'm not real savy on all this encryption stuff but when I looked up PCI compliance it has to do with credit card payments. So what does credit card payments have to do with streaming music from Rhapsody? Using Tapatalk

flo72 if you have a smartphone or tablet I strongly recommend getting the Squeezecommander app to control your Squeezbox players. It's definitely worth the few dollars and makes your devices a joy to operate. I own 5 receivers, 1 Boom and one Radio and I control them all easily at home with a
