14 Jan 10 VortexBox player

Many users have requested the ability to play music directly from their VortexBox eliminating an external player. There are a few software solutions currently available but they were inadequate for the task. We have built a software based player that can be controlled by SqueezeBox Server, a Controller, iPeng, etc. As with all of the VortexBox project we have reused as much Open Source technology as possible. VortexBox Player is an extension based in mpd to reuse all the work they have done.

VortexBox player has the following features

• Can be controllable like any SqueezeBox player
• Play any media type supported by SqueezeBox server
• Play music up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution
• Supports audiophile sound cards as well as USB and S/PDIF DACs.

For more information please see the VortexBox player forum.

At least some of the development of VortexBox player will be contract programing work. If you would like to help out the effort please donate to the VortexBox project using the donate button to the right.
