I'm not sure what a "renderer" is. I can say that, using MinimServer through Kinsky, I am able to play tracks through my Sonos Connect. The connect is wired into the Network via a Homeplug. Is the Connect a renderer?

Yes, the Sonos would be the renderer. Thanks!

Thanks again. I may have spoken too soon about the Kinsky//MinimServer/Sonos combination. I thought it was working during my extensive "testing". However, when I sat down to listen to some music, I found annoying gaps between tracks that should segue together (The Wall, Live albums, and some orchestral music).

I get gapless playback using the Sonos interface.

What could be causing the lack of gapless? Is that Kinsky, Minimserver or some incompatibility between Kinsky/MinimServer and my Sonos? I don't remember having a problem when I tried Twonky, but it is possible I was only "testing" and not listening then. I wouldn't want to shell out for some expensive system only to find I can't get gapless - about a third of my collection is opera!
