Logitech SqueezeBox replacement for under $30

Just found this thread -- so, has any progress been made with getting wi-fi up and running yet? There's simply no way I could keep such a system hardwired to my router and hooked-up to my audio system at the same time.

I just finished putting my VAMP together. I'm running it with wired networking and using a Hifimediy USB dac for audio output. It works well and sounds great. The next step will be trying to use wifi. I found the following thread on the Vortextbox forum:

I need to track down a usb dongle with one of the chipsets that has worked. Right now I'm considering this these:

Since the original instructions were lost with the Vortexbox website hack I tried to rewrite them best I could at http://www.homenetworkenabled.com/co...t-for-under-30 so that it can fill in the gaps for anyone building a VAMP.

Thanks for posting this! My VAMP is working well, but it's good to have all the info in one place again.

Squeezelite Update for VAMP 0.4

Hi,

I am successfully running the 0.4 Vamp (versus 0.6) because it has the squeezeplug installer so easier to install samba and LMS but wondering what is the easiest way to update squeezelite to the latest version. Seems to work well so far.
Thanks

Here's how I do it:

cd /usr/sbin
rm squeezelite-armv5te
wget http://squeezelite.googlecode.com/fi...zelite-armv5te
chmod 755 squeezelite-armv5te

mv squeezelite squeezelite.old
mv squeezelite-armv5te squeezelite

reboot

If anything goes wrong you have your existing version left as squeezelite.old

Worked perfectly now my VAMPbox sounds much better and responds better. Thanks so much.
