Automatic Jukebox?

[wappinghigh]

I use Control4 and the Extravegetable's Linn driver.

This allows me to control the Linn DS and my music library via MinimServer anywhere I can access into Control4. Be it ipad, iphone, android app, onscreen TV, C4 touchscreen or via their intuitive SR250 wireless remote. From anywhere in the house.

It completely bypasses all the Linn control software you seem so concerned about. Kinsky. The IR remote. Everything.

q/ What's Control4? a/ A network based home automation product

q/ Is it expensive.? a/ well kind of. But a basic controller can be purchased for a couple of hundred bucks..and allows you to control your entire TV/Audio equipment

q/ What's extravegetables? a/ They are a UK based software house that writes drivers for the Control4 setup. They also have a driver for itunes and Sonos ..

q/ What's this specific "driver" do? a/ It serves up MinimServer (and therefore the library on your NAS) as a upnp control point into the Control4 platform. It also selects all the right inputs and allows volume control of the Linn DS

q/ Why have I posted this? a/This is the ultimate Linn "juke box" and sure is cool. It doesn't rely on IR control. Or any Linn program. And is an awesome use of MinimServer

Cheers
