No. If already you have a computer running LMS, you should make it
available to all SB devices.
host LMS--OR somehow extend my living room fanless PC's WiFi's reach so
> I can put the bedroom SBT on that network
Yes, that's the way to go. WiFi improvement, or powerline adapter. Or
even a good old ethernet cable.
-- update the LMS software in my SBTs and my mini-PC to 7.9, or at least
update my bedroom SBT to 7.8.0 (currently, my bedroom SBT is running
No need to update the devices. I'd suggest updating LMS on the PC, just
because 7.9 has some nice improvements.
-- for accessing TIDAL, install the ickStream Open Beta for Squeezebox
plug in on my audio PC, then set up a TIDAL account and point an SBT to
it;
Not really needed. Just go to mysqueezebox.com to enable TIDAL.
-- for now, give up on accessing Spotify because Spotty does not run on
Windows.
Spotify runs perfectly well on Windows. Only the Connect mode wouldn't
work on Windows: you can't control playback from the Spotify app. As
long as you're staying in the SB/LMS world, Spotty will work perfectly fine.
I have not yet figured out how to update my bedroom SBT's software to
7.8.0 or 7.9; can someone point me to instructions for that?
No need to bother. If you connect your SBT to LMS, it'll get the latest
firmware automatically (7.8). And it's not really needed anyway.
By the way, on my living-room SBT, under "Squeezebox Information", there
is a list of plug-ins that I never installed (!), but that look
interesting to me given my interest in exploring music streaming (my
bedroom SBT shows no such list). The list includes classical.com,
Deezer, MOG, Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM...comments/advice? Are they
actually installed and useable? Are they residing on that SBT, or on its
PC? Would I need another fanless PC (or similar) to enable my bedroom
SBT to access those services?
These plugins are part of LMS. I suggest you review the list and
actually disable a whole bunch of them, as you hardly use them all...
