This already exists. Have a look at ' Vortexbox Appliance ' (http://shop.smallgreencomputer.com/VortexBox-1TB-Automatic-CD-ripping-NAS-vb1000b.htm) for buying a low power using all in one music server auto-ripper in one box. Or if one has an old PC not doing anything at the moment then put a newer DVD burner in it, larger enough hard drive, and install a free copy of ' Vortexbox Server Software' (http://vortexbox.org/downloads/). And there are other boxes on the market like the one dBpowerAmp sells. I set an old PC up at my parents home with Vortexbox on it and when they get a new CD they just insert it and 5 minutes later they can listen to it on the Squeezeboxes I put in the house. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72512 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
