[SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??

I have an old laptop and decided to turn it into a squeezebox rig. I registered an account at mysqueezebox.com, installed Squeezebox Server on the old laptop, installed Squeezeplayer on the old laptop. Then I configured the SB system to use my Pandora account, my Last.FM account, and added 10 of

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??

THanks Phil! ok, so if I understand, the main reasons to buy the Receiver would be to get the device closer to the audio amplifier, and do it wirelessly... it is very convenient for some users I guess. And, as you said sound quality. So, I could just build my own PC, buy a good sound card

Ok. Next reason: synchronization of several of them. Will not work well with your PC because it's not a real time system. Others: looks, convenience, power consumption, noise (fans etc.) -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] what is the point of buying the SB Receiver or Controller??

Ok, understood. For me, that is not a problem because my homemade SB rig will have its SPDIF output feeding directly into a Video Storm 16x16 SPDIF Audio Matrix Switcher (http://www.video-storm.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CMX1616V) and this will allow me to send the audio to every room in my house.

Well, your system isn't exactly what one would build if you now started with an SB setup. In that case you would put one in every room and add active speakers to that. Good ones in the living room, small ones in the office and you might just use an SB Radio in the kitchen and bathroom... --
