andy, couldn't he do what he wants if he gets a NAS he can run SC on? No need to buy a new NAS if we can get basic UPnP support working. And those NAS manufacturers are slow adapting our software...

Re: [slim] Can SB access NAS without the SqueezeCenter turned on?
the other point is they have 2 laptops. is the SN/upnp going to be a good solution for them? meaning, will it work with their laptops and will they want them on? i got the impression they didn't want that. what about a NAS with a upnp media server built in but no SC? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54434 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Can SB access NAS without the SqueezeCenter turned on?
Thanks everyone for chiming in. The depth of this thread is going way over my head. I have no idea what upnp is.. Well, then again, I had no idea what NAS was until a few days ago, when I started searching the internet. Basically, my wife and I would like to aggregate all our music files into one drive. I can let her transfer her music files in her laptop to my desktop or even my laptop, but I thought it would be more convenient if she could access the centralized storage regardless of whether my PC/laptop is turned on or off. Similarly, I thought it would be better if my SB Boom could access the network-attached central storage directly without having to negotiate through my desktop where the SqueezeCenter currently resides.

Re: [slim] Can SB access NAS without the SqueezeCenter turned on?
thats why my answer to you was the best answer, i actually listened to what you wanted. ;) in all seriousness, there are a 1000 ways to slaughter a pig. so it all depends on what your exact goals are, and how you want to do it. keep in mind, they do not have a upnp solution yet. while i think its probably coming soon, its hard to say when. therefore the best solution to meet your goals as i see it, is to get a NAS, which is great for more than just storing music btw. some infrant/netgear NAS devices come with SC built in. but the drawback is SC is slow on these devices, (via webUI anyway). however, some other NAS devices are a lot faster, but on those you need to hack em to some degree to get SC installed on them. u could also setup a small desktop that would wake on lan and run SC from there, and store all your music there as well. this is to a degree overkill, so it has pros and cons too. personally, i am going to get a NAS one day, b/c i do not want a computer on just to listen to music. i'll probably wait until netgear/infrant make a NAS that has a real processor in it, assuming that ever happens. but regardless i'm gonna wait until i see how this upnp solution works as well. i actually think the upnp solution (that uses SN and your SB + your local tunes) would be very elegant with a NAS as opposed to a computer for the local tunes. BUT we need to see how it'll work first. (if the NAS has a generic media server built in, i wouldn't think its a problem). if you need clarifications, just ask, BUT you should google upnp and so on. to do this properly, you will need to educate yourself. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54434 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can SB access NAS without the SqueezeCenter turned on?
I'm beginning to realize that all the music files must be stored in one folder in order for SB to access those files. Since my wife and I both have tons of music files on our separate notebooks, we are thinking of setting up what other people are describing as a NAS (network-attached storage) where we will store all our music files. In this regard, 1. Can SB access an NAS even when my PC is turned off (i.e., even when no SqueezeCenter is running)? 2. (This is probably appropriate for some other forum, but) Can anyone recommend a decent NAS kit? We wouldn't need a mission-critical NAS, since all we will need the NAS for is to store our music files.

I currently use the original Buffalo TeraStation 1Tb box From (but not shown) http://www.buffalo-technology.com/products/network-storage/terastation/ It's a 4x250Gb Disk RAID5 box giving me about 700Gb of storage (completely full at the mo).
