There are 2 issues here:

1. I have spent countless hours trying to get this setup to perform as
promised. WAY beyond any 30 day guarantee. This is mostly because any
technical support offered (for any IT product) automatically makes you
assume it is YOUR fault! I have tried every new version of Slimserver,
SqueezeCentre and RAIDiator issued and they have ALL performed like
dogs. My library is well ordered and I spent a long time converting all
tracks to the same format (AAC). I put 1gB of RAM in the ReadyNAS and
that DID lift the performance from appalling to just dreadful. Since
the ReadyNAS, Squeezeboxes and Slimserver were sold as a package, I
would have expected them (naively) to work out of the box. Which part
of this statement is unreasonable?

2. I would expect the vendors (Netgear and Logitech) to work TOGETHER
to solve this problem, not in seeming isolation and denial of
responsibility for a product combination which obviously is not fit for
purpose. If you are selling a 1Tb server with a promise of music
streaming to a specifically named product, it should be capable of
working as well with 1Tb of stored music as with 1Gb. Size should not
be an issue. Is there anything wrong with that assumption?

What you are suggesting is that the adverts recommending this
combination were misleading and, although I can store music on the
ReadyNAS and use the Squeezeboxes to stream it, I need to use an
interim computer to do the work that SlimServer/SqueezeCenter reckons
it should be able to do on the original combination.
