How would that be better? People have actually created squeezeplay style programs for the A series popcorns. It'd be nice I grant you that... What we are looking for is full control that means the home PC doesn't need to be turned on to play music. I don't own a NAS and don't see the point in me

Obviously peter this solution isn't one for everyone. But if I already own a home PC, 2 SB's and am going to buy a C-200 then this solution would be perfect for me. I do see your point about squeezeplay, and that would be better for you, and if I had a low power server it would also be a good

;) all very true, I just like to argue... I don't want to become restrictive, i'd actually quite like an open discussion of all the possibilities of the C-200 combined with the SB, including squeezeplay, so long as people keep an eye on the ball from time to time. =) -- Gibbo

Well, since you haven't tried the C-200 I find it intriguing you already deem it not good enough platform to use the SC on. I've got SqueezeCenter running on my old NAS with less resources available (apart from storage) than the C-200. It's not good performance at all, but it runs. We might look

Well, since you haven't tried the C-200... I did try. But i wouldn't like to tell here the circumstance. It was an early firmware on it and not a final release. So i can say only final release should be better. It's not good performance at all, but it runs. We might look into using the old

While I compliment your honesty, you still seem to mix some things up. The OP/first post is not asking to use the NMT as a player, like you seem to imply. The OP is asking for the possibility of running a SqueezeCenter installed on a C-200. That has nothing to do with the closed source Sigma

As an interesting project? Yes it would be worth a shot. As a practical solution for everyday running of SC? I'd rather listen to death metal for 12 hours a day. The C200 is woefully underpowered to run SC. -- shake-the-disease Players: Boom, SB1 Server: QNAP TS-239 w/ SSOTS 3.18, SS 7.3.3,
