I say thanks to Logitech and to Michael for keeping LMS alive and well. Imho it’s still the best music server software by some way. Others - Room & Plex spring to mind - have features that I’d like to see it in LMS but none is fundamentally as good at some core stuff such as playlist management

You can however use a 2 way USB sound card such as a Behringer UCA202 which will give you 16/44.1 in and out. piCorePlayer will see the card as an output out of the box but you will need to use additional modules which may not be available in pCp to get LMS to hear its input VB2.4[/B]
