Your goal may be to do that, but with all due respect I do not share it. I would find that to be an inferior solution to what SD already offers, I certainly would not pay more for it, and I do not see any significant opportunities for SD to enter that already-served market. Will the Transporter also have a CD-drive to rip music to the attached hard disk and ripping/burning software? Will it have the ability to download files from the internet? If so, you are adding functionality, complexity, and cost to the Transporter. If not, how will you get music onto the hard disk? If the answer is "with a computer," then why not set up SlimServer and be done with it? It is not a big deal, and you can even use a crossover capable to connect the computer to the Transporter, with no other network devices required. As others have pointed out, there are devices employing architectures that better fit your paradigm. I think you are trying to "fit a square peg into a round hole," but that is your prerogative. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30080 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
