1) You should be able to use the NAS. Especially if it allows for network access (samba?) - if you have access as a windows share (and you know the login username and password) then it's easy to set up. I have my music on a NAS (actually a usb stick located on the router) - works flawlessly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98939 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
