To make a netbook act like a Squeezebox you'll need to run one of the software players on it (SoftSqueeze, SqueezePlay, or squeezeslave). One thing you'll lose with software players is reliable synchronizing of multiple players. A few people get lucky, but in general you can only be assured of solid sync'ing with hardware SBs.
Another thing you'll lose is free access to Pandora. Software SBs only play Pandora if you have a paid subscription, which admittedly isn't very expensive. Unless you have a really long cable from the netbook to your amp, you'll have to put up with a computer in your listening room. Sometimes that's not a problem, sometimes it is. Finally, if sound quality matters to you, the soundcards of most netbooks are vastly inferior to the audio components of a SB, so your sound quality won't be as good either. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88181 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
