Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming MS200 Sooloos

Just so that you know for the future...

Sooloos is a four part recipe and you need all four parts to get the dish:

1) Store the music on hard disk = Sooloos "Store" (you cannot use a third party NAS - this must be Meridian)
2) Main engine of the system = Sooloos "Core" (you cannot use a PC or other computer for that - must be Meridian)
3) Get analogue or digital music out = Sooloos "Audio End Point" - again must be Meridian
4) Send instructions to the "Core" with a user interface = Sooloos "Control" (iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch / PC / Mac / Browser running Flash such as that on a Playbook)

So in answer to the question, this new MS200 is a standalone part 3 above. This means you'll need "Store", "Core", "Control".

Fortunately a MC200 has both "Store" and "Core" so would be an ideal partner. After that, you'll still need a "Control" of some sort. I imagine that most here use an iPad but I use a Blackberry Playbook for the time being. The iPad interface is vastly superior but the Playbook (running Meridian Control:Web in a browser) suits me fine for the time being.
