What's a Squeeze Network? Love these web sites that want you to register before telling you anything. The Slimdevices discussion isn't any help either - the forum stickies are NOT an overview of the service - if it is a service. MClient attempts to emulate a basic slimdevices player. Beyond that, we keep adding CLI support for things like full screen listings of song titles and on screen display of album covers (not yet in the load). So, MClient should do just about anything a basic slimdevice client can do - with the possible exception of synchronous music playing (I have my suspicions that hardware buffer differences make that difficult). MClient should be able to use the radio feature of the Slimserver program. There is currently a Slimserver fix for the delayed title listings of what is playing (given the internet radio station is providing such information). But not everyone is using the latest Slimserver (I think there is a feature request for Debian to upgrade to the latest version of Slimserver). If the Squeeze Network is a way for a Slimserver client to connect up directly to the internet there is no support in MClient for that. Instead you can try Martin's method. He has added the ability to directly connect to internet radio stations in the file browsing feature of mvpmc. You make a list of the stations URL and place them in a *.m3u play list. Then, NFS export that to the mcpmc box. Using the file browser poke your way to this NFS mounted file and pick a radio station as if you were picking a song. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
