I have two SB radios and one SB Boom which I have successfully connected to my wireless network. I have also installed SB Server on my main computer. I currently have all my music file on an external USB hard drive connected to my main computer using iTunes. I have a wireless/wired network successfully connecting (wireless and wired) this computer and three other computers plus my three SB players. I have just installed a Western Digital 1.5TB My Book World Edition Network Attached Storage drive on my network and can access this NAS drive on each of my four computers. I plan to transfer my music files from the external USB hard drive connected to my main computer to the NAS drive. The main reason I installed this NAS drive was to be able to access all my music files on my three SB players without any of my four computers being powered on. All my computers run Windows (XP, Vista and 7).
As I understand it, to access these music files on my SB players, I have to have SB Server program running and change the music source on my SB players from Mysqueezebox.com to Squeezebox Server. If I have all my computers powered off, the SB server program will obviously not be running. It appears I would need to install the SB server program on the NAS drive. However, there is currently no operating system on this NAS drive, so installing SB server would appear not to be an option. I have looked at the documentation for the SB players and they are vague about accessing music files from NAS drives. Could someone give me some guidance about how to access my music files on my NAS drives. I would really appreciate it. KenR
