Backyard deck system

[marflao]

So far I connected my Nexus 7 via Bluetooth to a Nude Audio "Super M" while playing songs from Google Music.
But it doesn't work without hiccups... Lot's of buffering.

So this LMS => SqueezePlayer combo might be a better option.

I'm just not 100% sure if my NAS has enough power for the downsampling?!

Thanks for the clarification, Ralph.

Just read that this is also possible on Android. Since I use OrangeSqueeze I only need to get the SqueezePlayer app.
I might check this out.

I also use the QrangeSqueeze app but I use it on a Nook and the Nook leaves a lot to desired especially when compared to either an iPhone or an iPad. However OrangeSqueeze is a really nice app.

Cool! Have been rocking this thing in the backyard for a couple summers:

I think we have stumbled upon an whole underground Squeezebox movement: the LMS/smartphone/tablet powered Bluetooth speaker system. Now let's see who else comes forward to bring their system into the light.

By the way, I noticed that you had the Band playing when you took the photo. What is about Americana and backyard systems?

Yes! Here's how it works:

First make sure that one is able to access LMS on the iPhone, in other words that the iPhone is on the same WiFi network as LMS

then pair the iPhone and the Street Blaster together with bluetooth

then using iPeng select the iPhone as the "squeezebox" player

Finally listen to any music in the LMS library.

Indeed... Very nice!
Is this done via iPeng Playback?

Oh the wonders of digital streaming!

My backyard deck sound system:

Source: LMS streamed to iPhone using iPeng with the iPhone set as the player. The iPhone is connected via bluetooth to the Pyle Street Blaster. The selection I was listening to when the picture was taken was a 24bit/96kHz download of the new Dawes release, so LMS was also downsampling the files on the fly. And it sounds very good.

very creative!
