Ha. Sort of. I do not think it can be easily modified, nor do I expect it to, as it's not on Andrew's list of things to do for Whitebear, but my ideal situation would be this: To use my Squeezeboxes with iTunes. See the attached image this is what you get with iTunes when there are AirPlay devices like AirPort Expresses on the network, you can select them as output devices just like choosing a DLNA/UPnP renderer in whatever DLNA/UPnP control point you like to use. Except it's not DLNA/UPnP, it's AirPlay, hence my Squeezeboxes (or any other DLNA/UPnP render) do not appear in this list in iTunes. I would like them to. Or, more to the point, my girlfriend would like them to. The best/easiest/analogous way to do this, I asked/suggested, is for Whitebear to implement the AirPlay protocol and expose the Squeezeboxes as AirPlay speakers (actually the -best- way to do this is for Apple to implement DLNA/UPnP in iTunes, but I think we know that's not going to happen). The fact that this involves a 'closed, proprietary Apple protocol' is something the iTunes user doesn't really care about... Now, as you say, if Whitebear did this along with what it already does, it would indeed be a massive pile of Awesomeness! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 142212-speaker-menu_original.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11157| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- IMGrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMGrant's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29979 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82399
