Different for me, the main player is in the living room, next to the kitchen. Sometimes I'm cooking and want to change the music, and then the player is closer by. I'm trying out JIveLite for a while now, but still tend to lean towards LMS/Material for the Touch Screen. Mainly to see in one glance which players are turned on and tuned in, but I also miss the grid view browsing albums (the JIveLite covers are quite tiny). > I also don't see the point in controlling from a central server/touch > screen, players that me be 3 or 4 rooms away or on another floor! I have six rooms in the apartment, but all on the same floor. I always keep all players linked: most of the times the doors are open so I want to play the same in all rooms (and then perfect sync is crucial!). The main reason why I'm very happy with this PcP/Squeeze system: I can walk around and enjoy the same music everywhere. And can control it from everywhere. > Install the Material APK on your phone and be content with that :cool: Of course. Phones, laptops, ipad, tv and two remote controls, there's always a controller near by. :cool: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeroen2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
