I understand the advantages, but in the special case of a computer which runs the Squeezecenter I do not get the point. It makes no sense in my eyes to load my library from a Internet source to my local SC computer. I would store the data on this computer and keep it in the cloud as a backup or maybe the possibility to access it from different locations and systems. I would make sense if it's integrated into Squeezenetwork as MP3Tunes and you get rid of an local computer. I have 3 (4 if you include the original CDs :-) ) copies of my music library: a copy on my main PC to work on, a copy on my Linux SC server and a periodic backup on an external drive. It's a good idea to have also a storage in the cloud, but I would never go without any local backup. -- jo-wie SB Classic, SC 7.3.3 auf GigaByte STA/C mit VIA C7 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 250 GB 2,5" HD, Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 last.fm/user/jo-wie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jo-wie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17952 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63682 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
