Hi I think there may be a misunderstanding on the line input to the Squeezebox Radio it is only a line input, there is no internal A to D conversion, it doesnt convert the input (analog) into digital but just plays it through the radios speakers, it doesn't broadcast or stream it, and thats what your asking the Touch to do- to take an Analog input, digitise it and stream it. In order to get your vinyl into the Squeezebox system it needs to be converted from Analog into an acceptable digital format. The Squeezebox system can transcribe different digital formats into others. The Level of transcription is device dependant ie varies with product. you could buy a small FM transmitter (as used to get mp3s on to the car radio) connect it to the headphone output of the amp and now you can pick up vinyl on any FM radio in your house. Basically you need to convert Analog to Digital, get that loaded into memory acessible by the Squeezebox but then the (squeezebox) system can Transcribe one Digital Format to Another Digital format and stream it. Hope this clears up some of the confusion -- c3p0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ c3p0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78137 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
