Last.fm / Grooveshark to Squeezebox to Stereo

[amitk777]

Hi,

Buying a Squeezebox had given a good lease of life to my old and budget system. I absolutely love the sound and ease of use. However much before I had the squeezebox , I used to listen to last.fm. The scrobbler on last.fm is wonderful as is there very good collection of songs, both Indian and western. It is one of the only music on demand services which works in India, ( if any thing else works please let me know) , however last.fm and for that matter grooveshark only work on a computer.

Now, there is a way to stream the music from computer to SB touch to stereo made possible by a plugin called Waveinput.
Announce: WaveInput for Linux - Page 9

But it is very complex thing to configure. Are there any computer / SB gurus who have done it ? I am curious to know , about the sound quality , before I get all worked up and start spending my weekends on it.

Please let me know.

Thx
Amit

Just to complete, I was able to stream audio from my PC to the squeezebox touch. Anything playing on PC plays on the touch.

Took couple of hours to complete.
