Slim Server software and Apple Airport Express
Posted by: Eddie Pugh on 03 November 2004
I'm considering setting up a Soundserver as a Secondary System for convenience etc and am in need of a bit of advice.
I have an old Apple Airport powering a wifi b network in the house at present and have successfully setup a SlimServer with a few test discs and managed to listen via a Squeezebox emulator on a laptop. This is just a test system at present but it does kind of work.
My question is would it be possible for an Apple Airport Express to act as a receiver/player in such a system or does the Express only work with Apple iTunes acting as a Server.
I kind of like the Express a)becouse I have one available and b) it has the ability to extend my wifi network as well if I upgrade the base to an Airport Extreeme G. The intention being to set up an old HP Jornada IPAQ thing as a remote control for the Slim Server
Any advice appreciated
