Actually, that IS cheap compared to Sonos. $200-$250 USD is right where I want to be, although I certainly wouldn't mind paying less when I can. Thanks for posting those links. pablolie wrote: i still miss a good primer on this. there's always a reference it's around somewhere, but is there an idiot's quide to building a community squeezebox replacement somewhere? or can we buy a packaged one? i don't want to compile, install and troubleshoot. i'd rather pay $200. Amen. Almost all the commercial boxes I see are well above that. 2-SB3s, 1-Duet, 1-Touch. Mac Mini as a server. iPeng is my controller of choice.

Even though it's called a 'mini server', it's actually an audiophile Squeezebox compatible box: SOtM sMS-100 is a network player which supports SqueezeLite (i.e. LMS), AirPlay, DLNA/MPD, and HQPlayer NAA function. The korean manufacturer delivers also a matching USB DAC/headphone amp and an external power supply as well as a rack for all three: http://www.sotm-audio.com/sotmwp/english/products/advanced/ It's a bit more expensive than $200, it's more on the $500 side.

Re: [slim] Stream google play music
I've been trying to install the plugin on my ReadyNas Pro. Unfortunately, I get an error when I install the developer version of the gmusicapi. I have attached the pip.log file. Interestingly, I can install the non-developer version without trouble. Any suggestions?

wortgefecht wrote: Not sure, whether this device already came up here Yes, the SOtM has been discussed every now and then. Mostly with people questioning the high price compared to something like the Raspberry PI, but I guess the Sonore people have to recoup the cost of paid product placement on sites like Computer Audiophile. To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

Re: [slim] Stream google play music
OK. I got past this with the two steps. In case anyone finds them useful, they were - apt-get install curl - Changed to protocol in the pip install command from https to git. E.g., pip install git+git://github.com/simon-weber/Unofficial-Google-Music-API.git@develop mps wrote: I've been trying to install the plugin on my ReadyNas Pro.

Re: [slim] Stream google play music
I've completed the installation steps now, but unfortunately, it does everything but play music :( I can browse my library and tell it to create an all access playlist and it loads it up with songs. However, no music comes out when its playing. I've validated that my local libraries and other radio stations play alright, but so far the Google Music plugin only gives me a pretty now playing screen (below). Any idea what could be going wrong?
