“Andrew Gillis has announced the release of VortexBox 1.2, a
Fedora-based Linux distribution with the goal of turning an unused
computer into an easy-to-use music server or jukebox: “VortexBox
1.2 released. The VortexBox community has been working hard on this
release. We have added a lot of new features to make VortexBox the
best NAS for SqueezeBox. These include adding the new SqueezeBox
Server 7.4.2 and fixing some critical bugs in VortexBox Player.
VortexBox Player is now the highest resolutions (192/24) player
available that is compatible with SqueezeBox Server (SBS). The new
package manager allows new software packages to be installed from
the GUI. The Sonos web GUI can now be installed from the GUI making
VortexBox the best NAS for Sonos players. We have fixed the MP3
encoding with better support for genre and cover art that works
well in all applications.” Consult the complete release
