Maybe somebody could modify an earlier generation iPod (the ones that
still supported firewire which is peer to peer unlike USB) with
RockBox, iPod Linux, or something similar and then you might be able to
access external FLAC HDDs and play them through the iPod.

Adam .. I was thinking a bit more about your problem. Taking the FLAC
HDD to work is the only way you can have lossless music there. I doubt
you will be able to stream FLAC from home to work, unless you have
really high bandwidth at both ends. So if you were going to do real

You guys need to get new jobs :) that are less restrictive with their IT
use policies.
What you guys need is a digital audio player that support lossless
formats like FLAC AND ALSO can access external HDDs using USB otg
and/or firewire. Is there anything like that?

Don't think you can do anything with your work computer. I'm in the
same boat. I'm using a laptop.

I think the external HD must be the way to go; the backup aspect is even
more important than the ability to listen. So the question becomes:
- I have WMP installed. Can I get FLAC codecs, do we think? Can't run
an exe file, so is there a way to get WMP to install the codec for me?
I can have
You can buy a 250gb external drive for less than $100. I did that just
to have a backup for my flac files and then ended up taking it to work
and using a small-footprint player (musikCube) on my laptop to play
through powered speakers. I also downloaded CD Art Display, so I have
a little popup w

It does change regularly
If you are always on the internet, your external IP shouldn't change

This one has me a bit stumped.
I'd like to listen to my FLAC music library at work, but the nature of
corporate paranoia means this is more tricky than it should be:
- I have SS configured for outside access - all works fine, but I
