</div><p>I have 2 squeezeboxes running against a Linux server (also happens to be my backend). Works fine. Be aware squeezeboxes are now EOLed.

I used to run the server on my backend, but started having problems that I could not troubleshoot, so now I run the server on my windows machine. I have a software based squeezebox player running on my mythbox that is invoked by pressing a remote key assigned to an irexec event (but that does not always work, and I need to sometimes to run it from the command line). Until I quit the program, I cannot use my mythbox because squeeze takes over the audio (even when it is not playing music). I have considered adding a hardware player in the house, but have not done so. I am guessing this would be a good solution for you.<br>
<br>I have also heard some good things about the Sonos solution, but that is going to cost you more money. <br></div></div>
