Lisa Compact 41
9 Store-and-Forward
Streaming requires a stable internet connection. This may not be available.
Store-and-Forward is a way of working with the Lisa that downloads the playlists and music tracks
during the night (or some other convenient moment), so that the playlists can be played at a later
moment, even if the internet connection is unstable, limited, or not available at all.

Using the Lisa with Store-and-Forward requires a platform that supports Store-and-Forward for the Lisa.

Set up your own Simple Store-and-Forward Server
·
Use Streamit ADP, the ADP - User Manual includes a step-by-step 'How to' for Store-and-Forward
