Does anyone know if this works with Squeezebox server?

You can install version 7.7.3 currently directly from Western Digital - it works fine. I have it installed on the EX2 as a backup to my Netgear ReadyNAS and they work almost identically. You will have to rely on WD to update the add-on package from time to time ( the current version from Logitech is 7.7.5 )

This device can stream music to itunes, Apple TV (or other Apple devices), tablets and BluRay players. Do some research on DLNA and Twonky Servers (which is what this device can do).

It works very well with GarageBand. Just follow the directions and you'll have it running in no time.

Has anyone found that using a particular router has made a big difference when using the Squeezebox? Logitech Tech support said to use a G mode router.

If you have an iphone/ipod or android operating system, there is a free logitech app for squeezebox radios available. There is no comparison to the functionality over the original remote - it's just that much better. Have no idea what the universal remote options are but you can't beat free.

Thanks for the helpful comments. Does this mean that I could connect a Mac mini Apple Mac mini MC239LL/A Desktop to my network, and use it as a server to make my music accessible to a Squeezebox, and maybe for back-ups, too? Would I need to run the server version of Mac OS X on it, or would the regular OS work for these purposes?Thanks.

Yeah. In fact the support team it's pretty nice. Here is the link to the driver http://www.presonus.com/products/AudioBox-USB/downloadsBut you must be very careful and follow the instructions before doing anything.

The airport express has optical output too - it's called Mini Toslink, and it uses the same output 'hole' as the analog out. Just search for the Toslink to Mini plug on monoprice. With this you can use the outboard DAC just like the squeezebox. I have mine going to an AVR optical input - controlled from non-apple computer as well as iPhone Remote - and it works great! Only advantage I see of SB is that it can access internet radio stations through the same unit.

Thanks for the very useful information. I love Marantz stuff but I guess i will hold on to my squeezebox touch then.

I got it to work only on my kareoke machine... I has the bigger connection on it. Sorry I can't give more info on it.

It works out of the box in Ubuntu 13.10. The media keys on the keyboard work too. Specifically, I was able to use the play/pause button to control the playback of my music player (pithos) even when it was running in background

Go to PAC audio's website to see if it works. You will need an external source such as XM radio or a CD changer.

You have three options: 1. Connect to the squeezebox server that runs on your PC to have access to internet content (Slacker, Rhapsody, Pandora etc.) and your own music file (such as iTunes libraries). This requires that your PC be on and running the squeezebox server service. 2. Establish a free account on squeezebox.com and have access to internet content (Slacker, Rhapsody, Pandora etc.) but not your own music files. Your computer doesn't need to be running but you need to be connected to the internet via wired or wireless. 3. The Touch also has the ability to play local media by using a USB drive or SD card plugged into the unit itself.

It worked for me right out of the box, without any trouble, using PiMusicBox (http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/) which is based on Raspbian, the standard OS for the Raspberry Pi. It sounds good, but I just bought a new sound system and I am finding that it is potentially the weak link, but it is by no means bad, just not an audiophile's choice. Also: I am not a linux guy. I am learning. I did no coding/tweaking/anything. This was recognized and played back with piMusicBox with zero setup.

There are tens of thousands of internet stations from all over the globe. One service alone, ShoutCast, boasts over 52,000 streams, and that is just one of numerous free services supported on SqueezeBox.If your audio system has an audio input port then it should work fine. SqueezeBox Touch has three audio outs and all are active outs (all play simultaneously). Digital Coax, Digital Optical, Analog L/R RCA. Plus the headphone out.

I can only say it works smoothly with Cakewalk's Sonar Producer, my DAW. (The new "improved" Sonar is called X3, I think.) You'll likely have to make a couple phone calls to Presonus for setup, but once it works it keeps on working. The trick is to get a specialized computer (no antivirus needed, etc.) for DAW work and never connect it to the internet.

Exactly the same hardware. You can run UE or SqueezeBox firmware on either.

I'm sure it will. It connects via USB and should install fine. Also, I use Fruit Loops Studio 10, it's alittle tricky to get used to, but it does the job for me, but to recommend something to you is based on what you want to use it for (DJing, making music, etc), Garage Band should be sufficient enough though :)
