If I was attempting this, I'd start by installing squeezeslave on the hybrid PC and then using the web browser on the Transformer for control. Once you have that much working, then you could start refining the setup. I.e. squeezeplay is somewhat limited in the formats it will play. But for standard MP3s and FLACs, it's fine. Since the OS on the Transformer is Android, you'll eventually want to look at finding a tablet appropriate LMS control android app. Since I don't have any Android devices, I've no knowledge in that area.
Be warned: this music streaming stuff is addictive. Be prepared for the fact that, once you're into it, you'll find yourself seriously considering the purchase of a Squeezebox Touch. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92720 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
