My Duet combo enables me to access and enjoy my music collection in the
way I have wanted to be able to nearly all my life.  Thank you Sean.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox vs. AirTunes Setup

2009-01-21 Thread PurpleSqueeze

 I am looking at setting up a home audio network and wondering what the
 advantages / disadvantages of an AirTunes based network (Airport
 Express, iTunes, iPod Touch with Remote, Airfoil to stream Pandora) vs.
 Squeezebox.
 
 The AirTunes network seems to be lower cost overall and has the
 advantage of the iPod Touch apps, portability and wifi for internet
 access (E-mail, etc).  But it seems a bit cumbersome since you need a
 workaround for Pandora, you can't stream different songs to different
 airport expresses, you can't listen to tunes without having your PC on
 and I'm worried about the clunkyness of using the remote app on the
 iPod touch to go back to my PC to change tunes.
 
 Appreciate any advice or key points I missed.

Squeezebox  SqueezeCenter are compatible with Pandora if you live in
the US - without a workaround, you can stream different songs to
different Squeezebox Receivers/Booms/PC clients and SC has an ipod
phone/touch plugin/skin and at least three iPod apps (the one I have
tried is a joy to use).

You will still need your PC on though unless you have a NAS capable of
running SqueezeCenter.

Re: [slim] Best iPhone Remote

 I've tried iPeng and Squidgy, and prefer the latter.
 
 iPeng doesn't have the random mix function (unless I'm missing it),
 which is how I mostly listen, plus Squidgy seems faster due to the
 database it builds.

You can add it to your favorites in Squeeze Centre then you can use it
in iPeng.

I only have iPeng so far but it is really very good.  Squidgy's
landscape mode looks nice in the screen shot.
