Many thanks for sharing that. Since I only envisage accessing the server with a phone or tablet (and headphones), presumably I wouldn't need a separate audio adapter for the Pi? I was thinking of buying this Pi starter kit, which seems to include everything that I would need: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CI5879A/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1BI3YWA77C7MD&colid=37Q3RQC9I034C&psc=1 Does that look adequate (assuming that I already have a travel router and a USB HDD)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108425 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
