Volume setting - you can set a level on the amp & vary the volume in the Logitech controller Now Playing screen. You'd have to experiment! Hard drive - plugged into RPi, then I think you might need a hub - again, I don't really know. Are the Rpi's going to be wifi or ethernet? If wifi, some people have reported problems with noise on the analog output. You could add a usb stereo output unit as an alternative. Your music would be self-contained, but radio is partially dependent on an active mysb.com link It's complicated to explain. I can't really advise on Pandora - it's not available on my system. Maybe others can advise on these issues too? Good luck. PS: my advice, make sure you get a decent stable mini-usb power supply! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97550 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
