So is a "shared drive" different from a drive being attached to a network? Sure seems like it's the same thing. That's why I was asking for clarification on what actually constitutes an NAS as there is no additional hardware built into my "shared drive." That is what I always assumed was an actual server. http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/ JJZolx;483504 Wrote: > You wouldn't use Squeezebox Server to do anything to a drive.

I am running a Mac other than for ripping, which I am using an old PC as a workhorse to do it. I can format discs with OSX's Disc Utility and not have to seek out software to do it. -- metalbob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ metalbob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71012 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
