Recenzija [mrežni glazbeni reproduktor]: Logitech SqueezeBox Duet

SqueezeCenter

SqueezeboxCentru pristupate preko adrese http://localhost:9000/ u vašem omiljenom pretraživaču (mi smo koristili Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10), a samo sučelje podsjeća na nešto ušminkaniju varijantu administracije kakvog routera.

Reproduktor glazbe s tvrdog diska računala:

Administracija za plug-inove:

Evo nekoliko zanimimljivih značajki ovog sustava na engleskom:

• Web Interface—control the player and manage playlists from a web browser
• MP3 & WMA Internet radio
• Alarm clock
• Automatically imports iTunes library and playlists (Windows and Mac)
• Automatically imports metadata tags
• Browse and search by title, artist, album or genre
• Shuffle and repeat albums or songs
• Create, save, and import .pls, .cue and .m3u playlist files
• Displays current date and time when not playing
• Open protocol and command line API—easy to control from other applications
• Expandable through 3rd party plug-ins and skins
• Supports multiple synchronized players
• Cross platform Open Source software, written in Perl (GPL)
• Listen from any computer using an MP3 software player (Winamp or iTunes)

Kako biste mogli slušati glazbu s vašeg računala na SqueezeBox sustavu, nužno je da SqueezeCenter bude aktivan, što je vidljivo na malenoj ikonici u trayu. Što se sistemskih resursa tiče, SqueezeCenter i nije baš štedljiv, trošeći u svome radu oko 100 MB memorije.
