Hi all, I'm considering purchasing this slimbox2 and I was wondering if
I am able to re-route the sound coming from my windows box to the slim
box? Right now I'm quite attached to using Yahoo Launchcast.
Is there any way that I can play music 'to' the slimbox2?
Thanks!

I live in a small flat, so I have tucked the (Fedora linux) Slimserver
in the bedroom, so that it doesn't cause noise when listening to music
in the lounge over wi-fi. What I want is an easy way to turn the
Slimserver on an off from my Squeezebox. (wake-up on LAN, execute

So long as the external drive only holds your music files and not the
slimserver application (which needs to run on the PC), it should not
be a problem. Point the music library settings to the network dirve
and you should be set.

probably won't be more help as I am short on time to put 5/14 or 5/15

The 05/15 windows build still shows the same version number but the
scrolling seems ok. However the server will not start with Musicinfo
installed. I'm not sure if that's something you've done but I've
definately not updated it since Michael released V1.72

You'd have to rip the audio beforehand, because there's no way ATM to
stream audio from arbitrary applications. Other than that, it should
work.
