Can Crestron Adagio work with a Squeezebox?

mattnuss -- Sat, 10/21/2006 - 13:12

Hello,

I am looking to put together a multi-room audio system with a Crestron Adagio AADS.
However, I am having difficulty understanding how the AADS will communicate with an audio server. If possible I would like to avoid purchasing a pricey under-capacity music server (i.e. Request, Escient). I'm wondering if I can use a dedicated PC or NAS (i.e. Infrant) for music storage and then stream music via TCP/IP with a Slim Devices Squeezebox.
With the use of a squeezebox, can the Adagio view music (artist,genre, etc.) and control it (play, ffwd, rew, pause) with the use of Crestron remotes, touchpads or TV monitors?
HAs anyone had experience connecting a Squeezebox with a multi-zone audio distribution sytem?

Any help understanding how Adagio can communicate with music servers would be appreciated. In addition, any explanation of the pros and cons of working with Request or Escient versus Squeezbox server would be extremely helpful.

I thank everyone in advance for your help.

Matt
