My SB3 - without doubt my best purchase for years, with possible exception of my seemingly dated IPod which gathers dust as I no longer live in Central London.
What an all-round pleasure the SB3 is proving, albeit my family concerned with my obsessional transportation of armloads of CDs out of the living room (as for all those broken bits of plastic casing...) And strangely I'm leaving my PC on 24 hours, Slimserver ticking away on the impossibility that someone other than myself grabs the new remote downstairs. Strange because, when looking for a wi-fi music player, I was determined for a solution which excludes my power-hungry PC. Hence the Linkstation, still in its box. On reflection, not sure that its cost outweighs the PC power bill, though it's another piece of kit with another set of flashing lights to have on my flight deck, and I'd enjoy migrating my recently re-ripped lossless files from the PC. Except now I'm not so sure. I've read several reviews and followed threads about using NAS devices and associated cumbersome installs, poor performance, updates of Slimserver etc. And with never having used Linux, the Slimserver install is daunting even with seven pages of detailed instructions. So do I proceed down my ideal power-saving Linkstation route, or do I return it for a refund? My feeling is that I'll ultimately be disappointed and relunctantly revert to using my power-hungry PC with numerous trips upstairs to start-up and shut-down. Any advice before the stores close for Christmas? -- jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonathan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2664 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19386 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
