[mythtv-users] mythmusic alternatives

[Steve Smith]

Yes a MythSqueeze gets my vote! Slimserver is in place and has lots of
features,
we've got SoftSqueeze already as a standalone client, MvpMC also implements
a Slimserver client
on the Hauppuage MVP it's an ideal fit!

Just need someone to integrate SoftSqueeze into Myth....

Cheers

Steve
