Aubuti what i mean by it does more is you can directly connect a pair of speakers to the Sonos unit and it can connect a NAs storage device or Netstorage device to the unit without it being a NAS and still access the files. You can also connect ohher media devices to it ie; an IPOD. My point here is not to argue the merit of one or the other it is to try to find out as much as possible from a point of useage and everyday maintenace the advantages and disadvantages of the Sqeezebox. As I mentioned in the begining of this thread my aim was to run the unit without a computer on 24/7. From what everyone has said in this thread it can be done but you need a NAS or a PC on 24/7 to accomplish this. I have also seen in other threads the different types of NAS that are available and what is recommened. I have read threads from installing the latest version of slimserver on a NAS to purchasing a NAS with Slimserver preinstalled, this has all been very useful information and will certainly help me in making my final decision on the prodcut to buy and the type of storage. After this I have seen messages in this thread about what is the problem of having a pc on 24/7, I have never said there was a problem with this but my preference is not to have one except for when i need to use it. Th only device I have seen on the market which can hold a candle next to the Sqeezebox are the Sonos products but as I mentioned before they cost twice as much. -- donglobal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ donglobal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10951 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34060 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
