No. The Squeezebox is purposely designed without the intelligence to tune into web radio URLs without the assistance of a server. The server does everything with the Squeezebox, including displaying things as simple as scrolling song titles. > Just to explain my skepticism: I usually have those nice gadgets for a > very long time.

So at least you're not with a paperweight when Logitech discontinues SqueezeNetwork or sells or shuts down the Streaming Media Systems division. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39657 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
