Gabe:
Sorry, I've been away for the past 2 weeks. Thanks for the positive
comments on MythSqueezebox. I wouldn't recommend using it right now
because it is currently unstable. In addition to SqueezePlay and
Squeezeslave, you might also want to look at SoftSqueeze (same
sourceforge site a squeezeslave). It is Java based and -- I believe
-- can have the interface skinned. A few years ago, I believe someone
did a skin for the MythCenter theme, but I can't find the thread.
George
