Thanks, that's extremely useful. In that case I will stay with NFS and check the ability to generate playlists, as you suggested. You may have saved me a lot of time trying the other option, and a lot of frustration if I found out later that playlist creation doesn't work. Maybe some day I'll dive deeper into my NAS. I bought it two years ago, primarily for LMS, and then never used it for anything else, tbh. Now it's a pretty luxurious solution, for just serving audiofiles to the LMS on the picoreplayer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jablonski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23317 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114948 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
