That's a valid comment, assuming the NAS is the problem.  But when I
look at all the issues:--ALAC transcoding, tagging errors and scanning
problems--and consider the possible solutions--reencoding all my files,
buying a new computer and retagging all my my files--then factor in all
the time and money I've already invested in my NAS and files--the
question I have is why can't the SBS do what the Sonos app does--play
the same files off the same NAS?  It's just bizarre that two systems
see the same files on the same NAS and one of them indexes them and
plays them effortlessly, and the other chokes and craps out.  It's easy
to blame the equipment and user--perhaps rightfully so--but the question
remains-- what is Sonos doing that the SBS isn't?

Which isn't to say I'm giving up for good.  I may retreat, lick my
wounds, then try again later. But for now I am frankly amazed that the
SBS can't do something SS seemingly basic as indexing and playing ALAC
files on an NAS without Herculean efforts on the part of the user.  How
many people hand the expertise or patience to tolerate and remedy that?

OK, that was my rant.  Thanks for all your help, and I'm sorry I ran
out of patience.  I may try again later.
