I've been using Winamp for years and I'm afraid I don't see the bloat that you're talking about. The footprint is certainly acceptable for a Windows app - under 12MB on my system. There are many features that you don't have to install or use. I don't install any of the library features or any of the video support. You don't need to install any of the visualizations either (I love to play with MilkDrop myself). And if you don't poke around too much in the rather extensive preferences you'll never know they're there. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33025 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

As I said in the earlier post, MC2 Slim didn't seem to be ready for prime time when I tried it. My understanding is that MC2Slim (an MC plugin) doesn't stream audio from MC to SS. It keeps track of what MC is playing and tells SS to play that file. It tries to adjust MC's position in the file to be in sync with SS. The result was that MC playback was jerky. There were also real problems with installation and operation. Some things didn't work right and those problems weren't documented. I'll wait until testing and documentation has been done to use MC2Slim again. What I'd like to see is a driver interface that routes audio output to one or more squeezeboxes: - "SB1" and "SB2" appear as (Windows) WaveOut/DirectSound audio devices in MC 12. - You select "SB1" as the output device in Zone 2. - MC 12 outputs audio to the "SB1" device using the WaveOut interface. - The "SB1" driver sends the audio stream (raw PCM) to SS or directly to an SB. RogueAmoeba sells the Airfoil driver that routes audio output from any program to an Apple Airport Express. The analog audio output from AE isn't great but if you send the digital output into a hugh quality DAC that is insensitive to jitter, the result would be quite good. Of course, the SB is a much better engineered product. It just needs something like the Airfoil driver. Perhaps Logitech could just contract with RogueAmoeba to have them implement the driver.

The rich, configurable GUI and support for the tags I need for classical music are essential to me. I think that the Squeezebox is the best architecture for getting Audio from a PC. Very smart, Sean. I'd like to use Squeezeboxes in rooms two and three. However, SS just doesn't have the GUI and tag features I need. The MC to Slim plugin and Erland's Custom Scan and Browse plugins are steps in the right direction. Just not there yet. A few weeks ago, I again tried some of the fancy skins and found them to be quite buggy in Firefox. Not there yet either. Moose and the Flash interface didn't provide the features I need for classical music either. Maybe SS V.7 will provide a first rate GUI and the classical music tag features that Ceejay proposed. It's been almost 18 months and no action yet that I am aware of. > If yes, does that mean if I'm using a pocketPC or a small > tablet PC with MC12 client server, that I can control and > play *any* audio file that is in the MC12 library, via my > handheld device, to the stereo that the Squeezebox is > connected? A complicated question. MC has two server features: Library Server gives another copy of MC 12 running on a different PC read-only access to the database on the server PC. When you play a file in the server's database from a client PC, it plays on the client PC. If you had MC2Slim installed on the client PC and it had a connection to a SlimServer and Squeezeboxes, you could IN THEORY play the file through Slimserver. Try MC2Slim and see if you think it is ready for your use. The other server feature in MC 12 is Remote Server. MC provides a web page interface to any web browser. The last time I used it, the interface was crude and had little functionality. However, the little functionality it had fit my needs far better than SS did. MC put up a series of lists corresponding to the browser panes of the currently selected view scheme. So I could define the a set of browse panes in MC with whatever tags I wanted and have them appear in the browser interface as a series of browse steps. Brilliant! I don't know whether you can run MC on a Pocket PC but you certainly can on a laptop or tablet PC running Win XP. And you can run a browser on lots of small devices. I use VPC s/w to control my music PC from three other PCs. That works. I can even have more than one VPC client controlling the music PC at the same time.
