RE: Re: Music Server Software

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Music Lobby has standard screens (which look great) - various search
screens and a jukebox mode. You can also modify them a bit to add in
additional buttons (for lights, HA control, HiFi for example etc) although
you can't modify the music playback buttons and controllers as they're hard
coded in Flash IIRC.

Paul.
