I am surprised no one mentioned the current crop of "do it all" Media players like the Asus O!Play and the WD Live. They are very capable players for not a lot of money. Mine will play everything my SB will, and video as well. It just lacks the ability to do it in the simple easy way my SB does. Lack of good support for playing play lists, genres, and album play ability make it look pretty poor at things the SB excels at, plus there's no SuperDateTime.
I can't help myself here either Nas's are not an obsession. As people collect more digital photos, music, media etc, backup is no longer an option. Hard drives fail, recorded disc media has a shorter shelf life than what makes me comfortable. Huge amounts of hard drive storage are quite affordable (less than $100 a TB). Stick a couple in a $120 box, turn on Raid 0 and use it as redundant backup, If you can set up your Squeezebox a NAS should not be much of a challenge. Just remember how long it took to rip and tag your collection..and think about how you would feel if the drive its on failed. I know exactly how it feels.... -- tedfroop "Good judgement is the result of experience ...
