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. -- Zonker92 Squeezebox Touch > Dynaco Stereo 70 > Altec 846Bs with 902 drivers and Z19 crossovers + Velodyne HGS-12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zonker92's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46280 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87448 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
