Hey andyg, I am trying not to be so confused and have just the simplest
of questions regarding the possible support for upnp. Is that support
from the point of view of the player? So, to put a finer point on it,
would I be able to play my files (hosted on a Terastion/PowerPC set up

Yes, but don't think of it like the Boom has UPnP support. It only
supports the bare minimum needed to proxy the necessary packets back to
a server (SN) and SN handles the interface and control functions as
usual by integrating the UPnP server into the Music Library menu as a
new option. When
Ah, OK, I think I am getting it. Am I correct in guessing, then, that I
am still going to need SqueezeCenter running somewhere? And is it
correct to guess that Squeezcenter is the service that will - pending
development - be able to recognize Twonky and incorporate those files
into the library

You are spot on; I do indeed have other devices in the house that
require upnp in order to run. I am realizing now that my goal has
always been to get SC to run on my Terastation NAS as I am keen on
running as few PCs in the house as possible. I will keep my eye open
for the upnp enhancements as

It's been announced already. The SB players will combine upnp with a
squeezecenter connection to play your local files.
Make this SqueezeNetwork instead of SquezeCenter.

Does that mean that SB would pick up musical files directly from the
local network and 'commands and guidance' from SN, or the music data
would have to travel to SN first in order to be served back to SB?

Where does the light go when you turn the switch off?
I wonder if this wouldn't basically give SqueezeNetwork access to your
local NAS drives... That could be a bit of a privacy issue for some people.
We should make this optional. A flag set in SB whether it should or not forward
UPnP communication.

Sounds unlikely, but I think the SN server should have at least the
It will be optional.
SN will not maintain any sort of tag database or knowledge of your
files. That's the job of the UPnP server.

Maybe a stupid question, but important for me. Even my cheapest MP3
player is capable to create a listing of all items and tags. The
squeezebox Duet needs a 30-60Mb server pack to achieve this. This
prevents me from using a cheap NAS for file storage. I think this
really is a major drawback.
It's a design approach. In order to provide the most functionality and
flexibility with relatively low cost/power players the heavy lifting is
performed by the server (everything from drawing the screen to scanning
the library to searching, etc). This brings many, many advantages over

Al alternative would be to extend the Squeezenetwork server to support
this feature. So, just store the metadata on this server and retrieve
the files from the NAS.
There are rumours that something like this, i.e. upnp support via

Home data are getting bigger and bigger. Everything: music, photos,
films etc start being stored on hard disks at home. As the price of HD
diminishes, no-one feels the need anymore to rip to a CD or DVD their
