Reason for asking is that my Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2 is sent for service after it one day suddenly stopped working. And I realized that I have severe abstinences when not having my Squeezebox/LMS setup available. I expect to get my ReadyNAS Ultra back tomorrow, but I started thinking what to do the day it totally stopped working or if I needed a bigger NAS. Some very important ingredients in my LMS 7.8 setup are the unofficial Spotify plugin and LAME for transcoding, and as far as I understand/remember that limits my choices rather much because not all processor types are supported? If I remember right it has to be Intel architecture to run LAME? For the ReadyNAS Ultra there are both well working and easy to install LMS 7.8 nightlies, the spotify plugin works and there's an easy-to-install LAME plugin making it possible to internet-stream transcoded (flac to mp3) music to my smartphone. It's perfect! :-) I'm not an experienced Linux user and would be pretty lost to install a regular Debian package. And especially if I also want to feel comfortable about the security setup. Since my LMS is reachable from the Internet (so I can stream to my smartphone), security-settings should of course be configured well. Are there be any good alternatives to Netgear Intel-based NAS'es, if my Ultra stops working and I want a NAS with simple easy-to-install packages with nightly LMS7.8 builds, support for Triode's Spotify plugin and - very important - support for LAME so I can do the transcodet streaming to my smartphone? It is 7½ year ago I bought my first Squeezebox and I love my setup more than ever even though Logitech "pulled the plug". I expect to keep LMS/Squeezebox setup for many more years. It just works so well for me! :-) /Stig Nygaard http://www.rockland.dk http://www.last.fm/user/rockland https://plus.google.com/105584766690422580666 Server: LMS 7.8.0-1371658931 (20130621) on ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Controller/players: Squeezebox Classic, 2x Squeezebox Touch, 2x OrangeSqueeze/SqueezePlayer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stig Nygaard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99928
