I don't.
I still run LMS on my Win (now v10) laptop so don't have a low energy Raspberry Pi etc. LMS server running 24/7. I have to turn on my laptop to access LMS. I (and my wife) often just access internet radio (or sometimes Deezer) via MySB.com (e.g. via preset buttons or SqueezeCntrl on our Android phones), without having to faff about turning laptop on. I realise this may appear a bit primitive given the plethora of low energy, always-on LMS options out there but it's "how we roll" (at least at the moment). So I for one would miss this instant streaming access with my setup when the plug is pulled on MySB.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ swayzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16575 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107491 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
