I'm afraid it won't. I've been in the market for a netbook and was

For Squeezenetwork (SN) the simplest thing is to install SoftSqueeze or
SqueezePlay on your netbook and point it to www.squeezenetwork.com. Note
that some music services are not available via SoftSqueeze. (You can
find SoftSqueeze under Extras in SqueezeCenter.)

Thanks you guys. I mainly want to just listen to Squeezenetwork
remotely from the netbook, so I'll review the Wiki and see if it makes
sense to me.

Give your desktop PC (the one running SC) a fixed IP address on your
network. Then as described above, enter that address just once in a
browser on the netbook you use to control SC remotely. Bookmark the
address, and then you can go back to it repeatedly without remembering
what to type in. Reboo

Is anybody using a netbook to control their SB3? I am currently using a

I'm sure you must have sorted it by now.
But for the record, I just installed squeezecenter on the aspire one
and works flawlessly.
Quite a bit of ram goes to perl and mysql as expected, but even in this
model (with 512Mb ram), it's working fine and I experience no slowdowns,
either in the server
as long as the netbook meets the minimum specs for the squeezecenter
software it should be fine, as since your music is flac the software
shouldn't have to encode the music first.

Has anyone used a Netbook to stream music to their Squeezeboxes?
During the week I'm "flatbound" in Germany and need to sort out some

I am tempted to buy a SB Classic, get used to it using its dumb remote,

What is the internal sound like on these various netbooks? I could use
