Please get in touch at info [at] foxhillgate.com so I can send you a private email. ad 2. Soundicity itself has been designed as a controller and cannot playback. However, since there is Squeezeplay/Squeezeslave (?) available which can be installed on a Windows machine, there is no immediate need for Soundicity to play back. What I tried at home was to install a Squeezebox Server, Squeezeplay and Soundicity on one machine. While this setup has its quirks it allowed me to play back all my local music on the machine and of all player available in the network. I hope this makes sense and just to be clear: There are no plans to convert Soundicity into a player. ;-) Best wishes, Marc.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Soundicity, Squeezebox Controller App, for Windows 8.1 Tablets and Phones
I've just downloaded this from the store and am running it on Windows 10(x64). It didn't autodiscover my local ReadyNas based LMS, where as RAIDAR does. I added the LMS manually and after a few seconds everything was ready to go. A couple of questions Marc if you are reading... 1. Is there a way I can pay for a licence apart from going through the Windows PC App Stor? - I'm loathed to give MS my credit card detils... 2. Reading a couple of the forums here, there is an implication or discussion about Soundicity being a player aka Squeezeplay replacement. True or not? - on this machine I don't need it, but do use Squeezeplay on a laptop connected via a USB DAC to my stereo system and it would be a great replacement as a player and controller. --- http://about.me/markcathcart Running a ReadyNAS NVX LMS Server, Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1423154751; Squeezebox Touch, 2x Squeezebox Boom, Squeezebox Radio and a Squeezebox Classic(currently unused).

Right now, you cannot paste a URL into Soundicity, but I will look into it. Best wishes, Marc.

After reading your post, I was quite intrigued to try out LMS on my cheap HP Stream 7 tablet and it works quite well. I installed LMS and the local player plugin as well as Soundicity and was able to control playback on the tablet. The only issue I found was that auto-detection of servers/players does not seem to work if LMS/Local Player was running, but you can always specify local servers manually in the app. Something I need to look into. So, after adding localhost:9000 as a local server, the local player on the table came through. I will change to app to also probe the local machine for a running server. One thing, though. If you bought a Windows RT device (see my other post in this thread on the difference between Windows RT and Windows Runtime/WinRT), you will not be able to install LMS on the deskto, since as far as I know, you can pretty much only install apps from the Windows App store. The best thing is probably to pick up a cheap tablet that runs full Windows 8.1. Best wishes, Marc.

Unfortunately even with inputing localhost:9000 under the ip address for local servers I still could not get it to connect to LMS running on the tablet. Do I just input localhost:9000 or do I need anything else? Sorry if it is a dumb question. I am looking forward to your updated app. Yes, localhost:9000 is exactly right given that LMS uses 9000 as the port. You also need to have a player that is connected to that LMS instance as well. For example, I used the Local Player plugin. Please give that a try. Best wishes, Marc.

I guess your question aims at Windows RT and the ARM tablets it runs on, but to be honest I don't know. Since Soundicity can be installed through the Windows app store I would think it runs on those devices as well, but since I don't have such a device,I cannot really confirm it. If you own such a tablet, you can always try the app. Best wishes, Marc.
