Just to clear everything up here. 1: ANY router can do Airplay between airplay capable devices (only airport express can be used as an airport-analog-output-endpoint)
2: If squeezebox wants to support airplay, it can. Apple allows it. Don't know how much it will cost logitech though. 3: Squeezeserver actually doesn't need to have anyhting to do with airplay. Each squeezebox could be standalone an airplay device that shows up as speakers for any airplay source like iphone, ipad etc. 4: Itunes actually doesn't need to be any part in this either. For example: Wirless network with ANY router. iphone connected, squeezebox connected (no server, no pc, no mac) IF the squeezebox was a true airplay device the iphone could stream DIRECTLY to the squeezebox. Bottom line: a firmware update could turn any squeezi into a true airplay endpoint to which we could stream from iphones, ipods, ipads or those who want itunes. Personally I think if logitech doesn't do that they really risk something. They can make the squeezebox a valid accessory for apple devices and at the same time be what they are. For what is worth, I will not buy another squeezi if they aren't going airplay. I will just get an appletv and use it for audio only. I can put a death cheap appletv in any room in the house and stream from my iphone to it whenever and whereever I am. I'd love if the squeezi could do it, but if they dont, its my last one. A company does always good if they keep it compatible with as many services as possible. Ignoring airplay would be a huge mistake. -- analographi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ analographi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8951 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85059 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
