Question: What do you think about the new SD NAS device?
    
- Awesome! Where can I get one?
- Nice. I'll put that on my wish list.
- Not for me, but it sure is pretty.
- Lame idea. Have the SD folks lost their minds?

Hi there, thanks for your time, I've now given up with the ReadyNAS as
a streamer I just use it as a storage medium, it was too much hassle, I
had to reboot everytime I did a rescan (and reset the SB sometimes !) ,
also while it was scanning it was impossible to go to the web interface
to check anything - the browser just reported "page unavailable", maybe
it's my setup but I don't think so - so far I'm very dissappointed with
the RN as a streamer , maybe I'll have another go sometime but I seem to
be spending all my time messing about with it instead of listening to
music, my collection is only 2000 or so tracks - how long should this
take ?
