    Thinking of getting a duet and have a question

    I've been looking for something that can play all my music plus an internet radio station that I listen too. What I want to know if it can play this site http://jungletrain.net
    I think this is the link that is used when I try and listen with iTunes. http://stream6.jungletrain.net:8000/

    If anybody can let me know if this works with the duet that would be great.

    This URL played for me using "tune in URL" -- http://jungletrain.net/128kbps.m3u

    You can always install SqueezeCenter and SqueezePlay and try it yourself.

        Download and install Squeezecenter from here:


        You can read about SqueezePlay here:


        It is an emulator for the Duet Controller that can also act as a player on your PC. It is currently in beta so might not be perfect, but will give you a pretty good idea of how everything works.

          I've downloaded the squeezecenter but I can't get it to play at all. Is it because I need the duet in order for it to play, or do I need to do something to get it to work?

          EDIT:Never mind I think I found out the problem why it won't play on my computer. Is it supposed to play through itunes on my computer and not squeezecenter?

              Under extras, there is a program called SoftSqueeze which is a squeezebox simulator.

                Thanks that worked. Now I can here the cd's and mixes I have on my computer. I was even able to find the first thing I was trying to look for. Thanks everybody for helping out.

                  Oh one more question, How can I remove a radio station that is in my favorites? I must have clicked on it and added it to my favorites when I was trying out the softsqueeze. I've found the selection on the softsqueeze but I don't see an enter button. What do I need to hit?

                  EDIT: never mind i figured it out.
