Don't expect too much of a Pi regarding performance, it's better than many NAS boxes but it's still significantly slower than running LMS on a normal computer. Depending on your budget, for a usage as both server and player it might be preferred to get a Wandboard instead to make it possible to later extend it with the high-end carrier board developed in the Community Squeeze project. the nightfly wrote: > > 1) If I build a wi-fi equipped Raspberry Pi with SqueezePlug running > LMS, can I keep my music collection on the NAS and access it from the > Pi, or would I need it to be on a USB HD connected directly to the Pi? > It definitely works with a NAS, the only issue is that scanning might be slightly slower than with a USB drive connected directly to the Pi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98939 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
