The shares would be on NAS appliance, probably a Time Capsule since I'm a Mac user. Although I'm aware that some NAS appliances can accommodate the SqueezeCentre server, I'd really prefer to get a Time Capsule because of its better MacOS integration. In these days of capable and affordable appliances like the Time Capsule, I would really prefer to do without the headache of setting up a dedicated server PC (been there, done that, I'm ready for something plug and play now). Online services such as Rhapsody aren't really an option for me because they're lossy, and I don't want to pay subscription fees. > > There's 1 big difference between the Sonos solution and the slimdevices > solution. > > Slimdevices: > musicserver <-> (wireless) router <-> squeezebox/transporter > Sonos: > musicserver <-> (wireless) router <-> sonos zonebridge <-> sonos > zoneplayers > Not to get too sidetracked into a Sonos discussion, but it seemed from what I read that just a Zoneplayer80 + controller would be sufficient. Either way, its definitely more expensive than the Squeezebox, which other than the server requirement, seems perfect for my needs. -Tim -- timmerweb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timmerweb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16173 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45244 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
