This is another great little gadget: Squeezebox (by Slimdevices, which is now part of Logitech) is an easy-to-use device for playing all those mp3’s and other media files that reside in your media server disk through the speakers in your library or living room. It can use both Wi-Fi and wired ethernet to connect and can also connect to Shoutcast and other net radio stations. I had some trouble in configuring the Slimserver software in Ubuntu server to access files in my USB hard disk. Here are couple of useful links to help in that:
