It will function as a server for other squeezeboxes too, within some limits. I think the duet and SB3/2 and transporter is supported but the old slimp3 is not supported ? And the server on the Touch do not support transcoding. so it has limits on what file formats to support for older players. The Touch do support more file formats natively than any older squeezebox, making less demands on the server this will be beneficial for some radio stations too that have until now required a local server to play on any squeezebox. I have no idea on how to configure a multi-player setup from the touch screen I'm not a beta tester so I have not seen one irl yet. And the software is still developed as we speak. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
