Touch is the player made for ht or stereo systems, it has all the outputs you need for that .
radio is a standalone box. they can all be used together with a server oftware used on PC ( squeezeboxserver ) for your localfiles and radio, for services and webradio only it is possible to do without the server. the server have a web interface for setup and controll via any PC on the network ( not just the one where the server resides ). However the main paradigm of squeezeboxes is to not controll via the PC, the server can be in your office or a closet, all players have ir remotes or Touch interface or knobs to controll them, pulling music from your server. There is also a wide variety of apple or andriod apps to controll the system. NAS ? Thats one option, server runs under windows mac and linux etc so it can be hosted on what you see fit for purpose, in your case a laptop. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
