I've developed a plugin that let you utilise a upnp/dlna player as if it
is a normal LMS device. You can find it on github, LMS to uPNP. Hope it
can be useful

I'm using my IPad2 and Squeezepad. I use a shelf in my bookcase as
"docking station", so that the IPad charges as I use it as a
Squeezeplayer. I can easily unplug it and occasionally use it for
websurfing. My pc-speakers sound has significantly improved, so maybe

I use a Radio in my office, and think that a UE Radio back-converted
would be a good solution. I don't pine for stereo, and the sound is
much better than on my old stereo speakers. If you can find a UE radio.
There are some on Amazon, starting at $180 used (also some original
Squeezebox radios).
I was recently looking at options as a friend was thinking about Sonos
and I was trying to see if there was a nice squeezebox alternative that
might save him some money.
In the end the Sonos worked out to be the best option for him, but the
best I could come up with was:

Of you want to play the computer in sync with other devices consider
using Linux, it won't really work with Windows.

If you are going laptop then try to find one where you can remove the
battery but still run it off mains. Some have mains input into the
battery direct some into the laptop outside of the battery.

With an old laptop you have several possibilities to consider.
Keep XP or install some linux OS on it .
The players to use are SqueezePlay or Squeezelite .
Is the internal soundcard good enough or should some USB DAC be used ,
but this migth not be an issue unless you get really good speakers a
Thanks for all your advice, it's appreciated.
Pippins idea with 'spare thingies' made me think of, that my kids both
have dumped their first laptops, so maybe I could use one of those
instead of buying a Pi.
It is a small Packard Bell Kav60 running Windows XP.
How do I set it up, so that it wak

Better pc speakers is a good idea. I use something like the Adams
metioned, also with the wedges. Also, make sure you don't have bit rate
limiting set for the squeezeplay player. Look in Lms - settings - player
- audio.

How about a Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer with a 'HiFiBerry Amp'
(http://www.hifiberry.com/amp/)?
This would be a standalone device...never tried the HiFiBerry amplifier,
but their DAC is very good.
I have a Pi running piCorePlayer with a small USB Headphone DAC/amp

At a remote office I run Squeezeplay with a pair of ION Deskrocker USB
Active Speakers. Sound is fine.
ION don't manufacture them anymore but they are now made by Alesis.
+1 for old iThingy as well.

Any spare iThingies or Android devices? With external speakers they make
for pretty good players and one tends to have a few old ones around
these days.
The old IPeng can still be installed on devices with iOS 4.1.2 and newer
and I believe SqueezePlayer on Android still supports some 2.x versions

If I could buy another Boom, I would do that - I can't use UE-products,
right?
You can convert a UE Smart Radio into a SB Radio. There's a menu option
to do this on the Radio.
