Thanks. So Daphile is some sort of freeware like Linux, just dedicated to music and LMS and running on any old PC hardware? Sounds interesting. What will I have to do with my old PC to prepare it for this - and what about installing hard drives and copying data from old to new HD? I have a Squeezebox Duet synced with a Squeezebox radio in the living room and kitchen. These are controlled by Ipeng on iPads and iPhone. I also listen a lot to music streaming to Ipeng on my iPhone or iPad. Would it be possible to use the Daphile HDs as some kind of network disks as well?
