Re: Squeezebox Duet

["rb_ziggy" <richard.boreham@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, that's fair enough.

I was hoping initially that we have a Squeezecenter V7 compatible
interface so that an upgrade to a Duet box wouldn't destroy  the
underlying ability to xAP interface other units (e.g. Squeezebox 3)
when having to install Squeezecentre.  This sounds like exactly what
you are aiming for:-)

Of course... it does get you thinking that with the handset, an
interface back to xAP could be possible (e.g. menu on the handset -
with xAP commands issued from it such as - lights on/off etc). But
that is clearly not just functionality in Squeezecentre plugins but
something for the handset itself.

Regards

Richard
