The tough part is finding a copy. Seems like someone recently asked for
a copy and someone else had it! I would guess that you also have to have
the controller app to go with it. Maybe someone else could verify this.

Just to expand on that a bit. To setup the Receiver you would need to
use SB Duet Controller or the Net::UDAP command-line utility. I believe
there is also some Android-based software that can be used to setup a
Receiver, but I forget the name.

yes, to control the receiver. But you couldn't use the TOUCH to "setup"
a receiver.  You can also use the RADIO to control another squeezebox

Would a Touch work in conjunction with a Squeezebox Receiver? I see that
these are still available on Amazon for $195; I would add one to my
system, which at the moment consists of 2 Touches, one Radio, and one

All the info you need is on the Joggler Forum
http://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/

My ID and Avatar are identical on that forum.

My own Joggler runs a linux distribution based on Ubuntu but with no
Window manager or GUI other than the Linux version of Squeezeplay, which
is essentially the open source version of the Touch and radio interface.
If you've used a touch before you'll be instantly at home.

Setting up is as simple as writing an .IMG file to a USB stick,
inserting in the Joggler and rebooting. The author of SqueezePlayOS as
he calls it has even written some specific Jive applets to assist with
Joggler specific set up and configuration, including an option to
automatically download and install LMS and also another one to enable
Airplay Support via Shairport :-) 

If you want to start a new  thread over on the Joggler forum go ahead
and I'll respond in more detail there without getting this thread
derailed too much.

There's at least 2 regulars in common between here and there that I know
of ( myself and Castalla)

2013-10-11 Thread wcndave

OK, get it now, so if you want something that does what that does, but
is not EOL, then you have to pay big bucks, and if you want to pay £40
odd, then you can't get that power/feature set.

Out of interest, where did you get/install the software for
LMS/video/controller?

the controller software looks just like the touch, however when i view
LMS in a browser it looks different, is that just what the PC based
player looks like?
I use a media streamer for video, however for the "den" this would be
great if it could just be hooked up to a projector or PC, can you
connect it to network and stream from NAS to monitor/projector?  or is
your PS3 doing the decoding work?

Thanks again, looks like a really good option now!

The Joggler is essentially an Atom based small PC in a 7" touch screen
form factor. As its a PC it runs various versions of Linux, Windows XP
and there's even a version of Android available.

If you want a nicely built piece of quality hardware to plug in and
leave on a fixed location then the Joggler fits the bill. My main
Joggler runs LMS, including various plugins, serves videos to my PS3 and
acts as one of my main SB players including 24/96 files via a USB DAC.
All at the same time.

This is it installed in a false wall

And this is the other one free standing on my amp in another room.

If all you want is a cheap controller then yes a cheap android tab would
be ideal.

Given the Joggler is end of life, and you can get a 7" android tablet
for £40 would this not be a better solution?

I had a look a the joggler on your recommendation and just thought that
it's never going to be more than it is, whereas with the play store it
can be kept updated as a "current" device.

any thoughts?

If you want a cheaper way rather than "wasting" an expensive Touch get
yourself a 2nd hand O2 Joggler and install squeezeplay on it. Might be
tricky if you're in the U.S.A but for my fellow British forumites a very
good solution. The Joggler can also be a player on its own and with a
decent USB DAC can be the equal of a Touch IMO.

I use Touches all over my house as controllers of other players, and
they are fantastic for that purpose. Touch on my nightstand to control
the Touch hooked up to the stereo across the room, Touch on the kitchen
counter to control the SB3 controlling a stereo in the other room (with
the B speakers from that stereo in the kitchen ceiling), Touch on my
home office desk controlling a pair of synced Radios across the room
(one playing L channel, one R channel).

Squeezebox Touch was the best product in the line, and really had some
untapped usage potential. The big issue with the touch interface for
that product is that the common use case had it physically placed (e.g.,
in an AV stack) where you aren't using the touch interface. As a
dedicated controller though, it rocks.

Yes. I'm using one now in that manner.

I don't currently have a place in my house for my Touch as a player. But
I have a Transporter in my living room, a Radio in my bathroom, and an
SB2 on top of the kitchen cabinets that I usually keep in sync. I have
the Touch sitting on the kitchen table, controlling the Transporter, so
I can easily control music throughout the house using its convenient
interface.
