I have several clients with the now discontinued CAM6.6 and/or CAV6.6 Russound controllers.
Is there anything out there that can stream Pandora to them with RNET data?
I think that I can make that work with one of the Apple portable players in the Russound docking station, but was hoping to find some other, purpose built media streaming device that is rack mountable.

Fusion Research won't do it directly, but might be able to integrate using Squeezebox drivers.

For my house I just used a airport express.3.5 to rca into the cam.Choose the right source and then use iPhone/pad/mini to control.Very nice not having to go to the keypad to change artists

We just used a Sonos ZP90 (Connect) to do something similar for a client.

I think CasaTunes will do exactly what you're after.

Thanks man.
I've tried to get some info from their website but parts of it are down or not functioning (like signup page).
I'll give them a call Monday morning.

Thank you to AnthonyZ for the suggestion of CasaTunes. I spoke to Mario this morning to further explain the capabilities of CasaTunes streaming music servers when integrating with the legacy Russound systems.

Mark, thanks for taking the time to discuss all the options.

Guys, if you're in need of streaming services for legacy CAM/CAV/E-Series as well as current C-Series Russound (and other) dist audio, do yourself a favor and at least look into CasaTunes.

Mark was very knowledgeable, and in some cases suggested solutions that didn't even involve his product, although the functionality was obviously limited.
