That is the SONOS model and I have never understood why it would make any difference. Either way you have two pieces, the music player and the music repository. I can't see that it makes a difference which location holds the "brains" of the system. I use a small ASUS B202 PC for SqueezeCenter. It holds my music, runs 17 players and 4 controllers and still has enough horspower to stream video from my security cameras. It runs standard XP so SqueezeCenter upgrades and plugins work without any special configuration, it consumes 17 watts of power, and it cost under $300. What in the world is A NAS plus a souped up (more expenseve) player/server going to give me? -- upstatemike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66851 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
