Re: Logitechs Squeezebox Duet to Crash the Sonos Party?

[Kevin Hawkins <yahoogroupskh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The setup is still dependent on PC software AFAIK except when
connected
via SqueezeCentre to their services or other streaming services eg
Rhapsody, Slacker, Pandora, mp3Locker, etc .  I think you can place your
own tracks into mp3Locker and stream them from there without a PC if you
wish. Local NAS needs the PC  to manage the DB, UI / remote and any
transcoding.  There is no track limit.
