Fw: Sonos vs Squeezebox

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

They should work ok - I think there was a stream issue before and
didnt
work when i checked

You can convert any signal (wether live or recorded) into a valid stream
Sonos can understand - for example with the MS Media Stream server jobby
thingy.

Then tell Sonos to ping at http://192.168.0.xx/stream.asx or
whatever you
configure.

Hope that make it clear :-)

Gareth,



Missed your earlier post - Yahoo sending messages like an intermittent
radio
signal.



I take it that this means that the BBC's asx streams don't work with
Sonos.



I'm not quite sure how the Sonos server software works, but is there any
way
of pointing it at local (i.e. on the server) streams - I've read a complex
review somewhere that converted Real streams via Winamp on the fly which
if
they could be diverted into the Sonos software somehow, would suit my
needs.



Thanks to all for the comments, (some I've read and some Yahoo hasn't
given
me.!)



Pete

I retract my previous statement - the .asx streams for all the bbc radio
stations dont work - I just tested them !

1Xtra works tho - if thats useful to anyone !
