Thanks, Robert. That's an idea I might need to consider, but it does involve an extra box (though very small) and another power plug in my jungle of AV and hifi hardware in the living room. A couple of questions for a real-life user: 1. In your configuration, when you prompt something to play, do you know if the files would go directly from the NAS to the switch to the SB, or does it go to switch, to Pi, back to switch, then to SB? 2. Given that Pi has very little ram compared to an computer or NAS (mine has 3GB), does it run well with large libraries (I have 120,457 tracks amongst 11,665 albums and growing)? 3. Do you notice any performance difference in speed or audio quality compared with running LMS on NAS? Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eduardoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108207 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
