My home server has almost 6TB of stored music so I can't really sync them as the storage in the vehicles is around 500GB (that's why I'm playing with the MyBook). My main home system is isolated on its own Ethernet Network (no WiFi). But I do pull my vehicles into the garage and use my Beta setup that has about 1TB of my favorite music on a WiFI network and move songs onto the Touchbook and Mac Mini over the Home WiFi network. So for procedure, pull vehicle into garage, go downstairs, drag and drop files into FLAC folder, its just that easy. I have had so much enjoyment using Squeezebox at home that I had to find a way to continue that into my vehicles. The better half thought I was nuts to put it in the Thunderbird, but after having it can be without it. I needed to write an iPhone App so I needed the Mac Mini (which was the only Mac we have) to do that. She said it had to be back in by morning so after 5 in and outs, I broke down and bought another Mac Mini when they went on sale. So once you try it or take it on a vacation, you'll wonder why you didn't have one from the beginning. When we drive to the beach house its about a 5 hour drive and a big part is through an area with mostly Country and Christian Stations. We grew tired of changing CDs so the Squeezebox setup has been assume. Have some really good Road Trip Playlists built. My old digital camera works on again off again. I will see what I can take using my iPhone. -- 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: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB3, ToughBook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65695 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
