Thinking about this overnight I realized that I have at least two
creative solutions that will avoid the double wifi hop:

1.  Plug my Mac directly into the ethernet.   I think that someone
mentioned this above, but I am so stuck in the wifi frame of thinking
that it did not sink in initially.  While my stereo is way across the
room from the router/modem, my computer shares a wall with the
router/modem.  Roughly 15 feet, ethernet can handle that distance, no?  
This solution lets me use the current LMS along with the latest plugins
for streaming.

2.  Dust off my 2008 MacBook Pro which was sitting in the closet next to
my Squeezebox Touch's.  Plug it directly into the ethernet and use it as
a server.  This solution might come with security problems though, as
the operating system on that machine is long past receiving security
updates from Apple.

Thanks for your assistance with this.  What an amazing community.
