DLNA works along the same principle as Squeezeboxes: you have a server on some device with plenty of storage (PC, NAS, etc.) where your music library is, and you have a client that gets tracks from the server to play to the listener.
Note that DLNA supports audio, video and image files, SB does audio only. The DLNA clients that I have looked at really SUCK. The client determines the interface the user sees when browsing and playing media files. For instance, I can run a DLNA server on my PC and serve up the same files from my music library that SqueezeBox Server does. Then I can go to my XBox 360, which is a DLNA client, and try to browse through the music to find something to play. This experience is horrible compared to even the Squeezebox Touch's tiny screen. The SqueezeCommander app on my Android phone or Moose on my laptop are leaps and bounds better. I don't know what receivers have DLNA clients built in, but my guess is you will be very disappointed with the user interface. -- Henry66 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henry66's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86375 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
