Yah..I didn't get the differences from perusing the forums. I might indeed have to save up for a genuine Squeezebox player off eBay for one of my rooms at least, but local playback is more important for other locations. Yes, I plan on running it on my WinXP box. I put everything on there. Plenty of horsepower. I consider it an "appliance" home server for all my needs, so the fact it runs an outdated OS doesn't bother me until something comes along where I need to upgrade! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ valnar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98594 </pre> valnar 2013-04-16T17:44:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.music.equipment.slimdevices.beginners/38962 <pre> garym wrote: Thanks, I did not know that.

Spotify is supported by Triodes excellent 3rd party plugin though but others that work through mySqueezebox.com won't work with a 3rd player. In all honesty mySqueezebox.com won't last forever so it might be a moot point and you sound like you're like me and mainly interested in local playback anyway, it's worth mentioning though.

But you may not be synching two or more players anyhow. And some services won't work on software SB players (pandora??)

As somebody reading through these forums for the first time and a newbie to Squeezebox, can someone give the history of all the various Linux SB replacement products? Which are old, which are new, which replace older ones? What is the preferred setup these days if you have no legacy hardware to speak of (only the FLAC,MP3, WAV music waiting to be heard!). Wikipedia is so matter-of-fact, so it's difficult to gain perspective from those articles. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ valnar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98595 </pre> valnar 2013-04-16T14:33:11 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.music.equipment.slimdevices.beginners/38954 <pre> Newbie here. Never used Squeezebox before but have used Windows, Linux, etc for years. My video/PVR apps of choice are SageTV and XBMC, so I'm somewhat familiar with the genre and concept. I have a huge collection of FLAC files (album rips + CUE file) on a Windows XP "server" which acts as my Sage Server and main repository of all my media, including FLAC and various MP3 song files. It is connected to a gigabit switch and I have the whole house wired for CAT6. My desire is be able play music through two different stereos in the house. Both are full component setups with receivers that support S/PDIF, have external speakers, etc. I assume I want to run the LMS Windows version on my existing WinXP server and then utilize some small, low powered squeezebox enabled players at the receiver. I can use one of the apps on my iPad for a remote. Yes? Is it that simple? Assuming I don't need the LCD display of an actual Squeezebox Classic or Touch, are the various Linux options just as functional? Is there</pre> valnar 2013-04-16T14:24:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.music.equipment.slimdevices.beginners/38953 <pre> I meant to follow up sooner, but got sidetracked. I followed the suggestion of someone to connect to my squeezebox.com account directly and this seemed to work. I still don't understand what happened, but at least I am now waking up on time!
