Slacker or Pandora through Russound wholehouse audio?

[MikeB]

Currently have a CAV66-based wholehouse audio system. Sources are a pair of AM/FM tuners and a PC streaming 4 outputs of MP3s using JRiver Media Center and CAV66.EXE.

I'm a big fan of Slacker and Pandora on both my iPhone and PC, and would love to get it somehow integrated into my wholehouse audio system. Unfortunatley, JRiver does not currently support either Slacker or Pandora. I looked into CasaTunes, but no support there either.

My biggest requirement would be able to control through the Russound UNO-S2 keypads.

So, is anyone streaming and controlling Slacker and/or Pandora through their wholehouse audio system? If so, how?

Do you use CQC? Lots of people integrate Logitech Squeezebox into their Russound amps and use that. It takes a bit of work to get the Russound Uno keypads to respond to events and control the Squeezebox server, but it can me done with the system you have. I did try using JRiver but Squeezebox has proven to be really reliable. I also use the iPhone app iPeng to control the Squeezebox, works instantly and flawlessly.
