Its a hack for now - but it looks like it could get competitive.
Linn gear is a little expensive - cheapest option £1000 !!

So to get the best out of a Linn product you would have to buy and
install a rival product ;)
Any potential Linn customers coming across that site must be asking
themselves why bother with Linn in the first place ??

Linn have always been mediocre-to-awful at UI design...(but
good-to-excellent at audio)
If I had a Linn DS, I'd be very happy "driving it" with a Controller or
even the web gui+SB! - I'd be VERY frustrated driving it with the Linn
software/remote.

You want to see the signal path
Further to the comments:
- the Linn guy is working on a Perl version requiring no squeezebox,
according to the forums.
- yes everybody is right - the driver is obviously UI / features,
again looking through forum comments.

Is the SC7.3 software completely open source?
So theoretically no-one need buy a SqueezeBox at all - just download
the software for free ??

Yes, download it, try it for free.
There are some binary parts, specifically firmware for the
microcontroller in the hardware, that is n

As I read it, the Squeezebox is required so that SqueezeCenter has a
player to stream to. The Linn software intercepts what gets sent to the
Squeezebox and sends
The fact that it's open source doesn't affect whether someone can use it
without owning an SB, it's the fact that it's free that allows that :)
Having said that, SC is released under the GPL. Portions of the
download archives/installers are however not GPL (such as the bundled
firmware binaries) s

There doesn't need to be one. SC is GPL, anyone who thought it was (a)
worth doing and (b) possible, could add uPnP server functionality to SC
tomorrow. I've thought about doing it, but it's difficult a
I'm thinking about writing a plugin that will add UPnP MediaRenderer and

Hi there - I wondered when this would be picked up here.
I am working on the above plugin, to enable SC controllers to be used
to control Linn DS products. Whilst I am currently a Linn employee, can
I emphasize that I am doing this in my own time using my own equipment.

Are you touching the Linn DS firmware in any way, or is all the magic
in your plug-in combined with the extra SB and essentially the SC
software thinks it's talking to the SB and the Linn DS

Rockfather's development just made me buy a DS and another Squeezebox
(as display). Thus both, Linn and Logitech, do profit from his
development.
To me the idea that a real audiophile would use a transporter as
primary source in his main system is as ridiculous as the idea of
putting a Sneaky DS

Really?
Me thought that real audiphiles used the TP as a drive coupled to a a
high-end DAC. ;)

Yeah I started a thread on this ages ago, when the SB/DS stuff was
coming in the Linn forum, but no-one cared.
IMO Logitech should have started licensing their system ages ago, as

McIntosh and the like are getting into streaming pl

I have a Linn Majik DS with Ruark speakers and a Rega power amp. I
sounds phenomenal. The only problem is the Linn software. This runs on
a laptop (absolute rubbish, not even album art) or a PDA/smartphone
(very poor).
I have just got my Squeezebox Duet set up and it is truly wonderful

no need to transcode FLAC
Rockafather, I have got your software working on my Linn DS/Duet system
but I have one query about the volume control system that is in place.
When the volume option is ticked does the plugin interpret the commands
and pass them onto the Linn so it can adjust it's own volume or is it
simple using

Briain here. I'm not sure if Rockfather's monitoring this or not but

Hi there,
I do monitor this sometimes, but would request that any *direct
support* type questions for this plugin be directed to the Linn forums,
as that is the correct place for support of anything Linn, and also
helps keep all the relevant information in one place. Thanks
