+the server and it's still a fraction of a % of what the music costed Don't forget to add the necessary backup drives to the total . Imo the players are only an extension of the server (the old players could for example not do anything without a server ). Also to use Touch as a server you need an external drive, put that money towards a server . One of the few ways to get a usable server cheaper than the Touch is surplus laptop or other leftover computer, but laptop keeps the energy consumption reasonable . it migth seem contradictory that we all say that any old clunker can run SBS/LMS server but the Touch or the simplest NAS boxes can't . A low end NAS or a Touch is a very very limited computer thats why. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
