You are mostly correct, SqueezePlayer is, in fact, an Android app that allows you to use a mobile phone as a Squeezebox player. SqueezePlay, which I recommended (but without proper capitalization) is, as you said, a desktop player application. I THINK (but am not certain, so I hope more knowledgeable users will either correct or confirm what I say here) that SqueezePlay thoroughly emulates the interface of some Squeezebox players, including the ability to switch it to control a different Squeezebox player on the same network. In other words, if I am right about this, it is a player, but you do not have to use it as a player. You may use it as a standalone controller. You will have the overhead of having some extra components installed, which you will not be using. But it should function exactly as you want. Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116934 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
