Slimserver is a server application that runs on your computer and does 2 things, primarily: 1) serve music/data to hardware players like the SB or transporter and software players like softsqueeze or media player (via mp3 stream) 2) Gives you centralized control/browsing/search for all your music and all your players via a web interface. While slimserver has many other capabilities, those are the two things its primarily designed to accomplish. This is nice because all of your music is in one place, in one database, and control of all playback devices is unified. From any computer in the world with a web browser and internet connectivity I can browse and listen to all of my music and control any of my squeezeboxes (I have 4). Another cool thing: I have a couple of friends with squeezeboxes and when I'm at their houses sometimes we want to listen to my collection and all it takes is pointing their SB's at my server. Slimserver and softsqueeze are a free download--I'd recommend you give them a try to get familiar with the paradigm. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33836 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
