I've not tried this yet, but it looks Very Cool. As Michael says, you could stream flac easily enough. Also, you could connect to the audio stream via SqueezeNetwork and thus not have to run slimserver - just control what you want to listen to using your favourite music management tool on your computer. I must make time to give this a go. Oh, and a note to Steve ... The best way to run the tcpserver command at startup is to use djb's daemontools.
