It's a bit overwhelming trying to navigate this forum -- a bit like searching a dictionary for a word you don't know how to spell.
My specific query is whether there's an app (or an LMS feature) for sending the audio stream from my laptop to an SB player.
Reason? To access the streaming services that feature user uploaded content, like Soundcloud/Mixcloud/Hearthis.at. I know there are Soundcloud and Mixcloud plugins -- the former mostly works, the latter not so much, and from what I gather from the threads here, the problem is that the interfaces keep changing, so the apps require continual updating. The proliferation and evolution of these services suggests it would be easier to just take the resulting audio stream from a computer, rather than code a specific plugin for every new internet streaming service. But the existence of these apps suggests that there is, in fact, no way to send the audio stream from a computer to an SB player.
To the newbie, looking at the LMS interface, it seems odd that the interface allows you to stream music from the internet, or from your hard disk music collection, but not the audio stream that your computer gets from the internet.
I'm guessing there's something obvious I'm missing here. Hence the big picture question in the heading. Thanks!
