On that topic, I want to thank Logitech for continuing their support for the backends. I think they have gone way beyond what is required. I know we all hated when they discontinued the Squeezebox line. But I'm amazed online services are still provided. Is it Logitech, or is it through

A virtual machine is excellent for the kids , just keep a copy of the original install . When they eventually get creative, just delete the running machine and put in the backup copy. Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J

hi Jonmitch, I think I have read that Michael has already added this feature to LMS 7.9, setup specifically for his kids. I am fairly sure he has mentioned this many times when this topic pops up. This means there is no need for multiple instances of LMS or duplicate hardware. So hopefully,

I should add: i would no longer run LMS on a NAS unless it's a really powerful one but only use the NAS as data storage. That way using two Pis should be simple and they really don't consume that much power --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech

Hi Everyone, First post here - I'm new to the Squeezebox, having just picked up a Duet 2nd hand a week or so ago. Loving it so far. I'm not sure if this is a strange request - but from my limited playing so far, it seems to be not possible (or not easy), and I can't believe it is not something

Wow - heaps of really helpful info, thanks to all. I think my way forward will be to expand the capabilities of the RPI / picoreplayer and use with an attached drive ( I have a 3.5" 1tb drive I can try out). Then learn about samba. That will then leave me to save up for a new iMac ( just love the

Thanks for the replies. Too bad because I really like their radio features. I will probably cancel after this month I've paid for and send them some feedback as to why. *Sue* -"If you're happy and you know it turn the volume up and 'blow it out'
