hi folks
i would like to get the squeezeplay screensaver issue sorted if
possible. is there any chance you can post some slightly clearer
instructions as to what i need to set in terminal in order to achieve
this?
thx in advance, Ant
Hi Ralphy
thank you so much, the Squeezeplay app works beautifully and now the
iMac screensaver kicks in as it should. Have yet to try Squeezelite but
I will likely just use Squeezeplay as having a controller available on

Hi
thx for that reply. You are quite right and I did not have the usb
speaker connected when playing through iTunes. As it turns out the usb
speaker sounds terrible playing anything and further investigations have

I have enjoyed my Squeezebox setup for over 5 years but with the recent
demise of the line I'm a bit stuck as to how to expand.

Thx again. I have yet to try these options. In the meantime I have
discovered that my external usb audio device sounds absolutely terrible
when playing through either squeezeplay OR squeezelite, yet works nicely
when playing either through itunes or spotify. I don't want to sound
