I have been running my Squeezebox v3 for almost two years now and I'm very happy with it. My current setup in my house is a computer running slim server connected wirelessly to an Apple Airport Extreme. This computer is placed in the home cinema which means that in this room the sound card from the computer is the audio source. The Airport act as a router in my home and is connected to the internet. I have my squeezebox in my living room connected wirelessly and even though I send the information twice ove a wireless link it works really well. This Squeezbox is connected to the main stereo and will offer sound in most of the house but I have been playing around with the idea to add squeeze boxes to more rooms.
I have now ordered a QNAP 107 that will act as a NAS and will be running Slimserver so I don't need to have the computer running 24/7, this will be direct connected with a ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme. I will put in a 750G harddrive full of music in FLAC/MP3. I have also bought an extra SB v3 that I will have in my either my office or master bedroom. This stereo also have a connection to the batroom so I can access all my music when I'm taking a bath. I will also have this one connected to my headphone amplifier so I can listen to music in the bed. I have also got hold of an Airport Express that has an audio out to be used with Itunes. My idea is to include this in the setup and use it as a dumb client in the gym stereo. This will let me at least listen to music but with the backdraw that I can't change the music in that location. I have also thought about buying the Squeezebox duet which will let me use the system remote to change music wherever I am. Hmm, that about my setup, my question is, do you know if it's possible to stream music from the QNAP on to the Airport Express? I know that there should be a workaraund from I-tunes if you run it on the same machine as the Slimserver? I think the setup with the QNAP sounds really tempting since this will bea quiet and small 24/7 soultion so that I always can listen to music without booting a computer. It should be great if I also can include the Airport into this, do you have an idea or suggestion of a smarter set up for me? Thanks a lot in advance! -- mangs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mangs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12790 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51211 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
