Tested using Winamp on host computer and played OK with metadata.
When connected to squeezecenter from another network PC although I get
good audio on a Duet receiver, there is no metadata.
Great application.

Do we know anymore about this? e.g. will this unit host SqueezeCenter
so we can just plug in large capacity USB HD's and not require a PC to
host SC?
That is correct, I do not know what SControl is. Is it the same as
SlimControl, or is it the SqueezeController, or something else entirely?
That's why I asked what it was.
