I got the unlimited data plan for my Treo to give it a try. I enjoyed the heck out of it, it was amazing to listen to internet radio in the car and such. However, I was deeply disappointed in SqueezeCenter's capability to serve music to the device. I always came in from a different IP address, so I was unable to set defaults for the stream. As such, it always came in as unlimited, choking the bandwidth immediately. I considered submitting a feature request that would let you specify the desired stream rate in the url (i.e. http://myserver:9000/stream.mp3?bitrate=96k) to surmount this, but in the end decided to end my unlimited data trial. Nonetheless, I think that Logitech is missing a real opportunity if they don't release an iPhone app (not just a remote but also a player to listen to your collection in the car) AND tweak stream.mp3's functionality so that you can enjoy it more even without an app. -- thing-fish ' Most Recent Tracks' (http://www.last.fm/user/thing-fish/?chartstyle=basicrt10) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54336 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
