In addition to getting something with sufficient horsepower to run LMS, I would also suggest using something that is sufficiently "open" to allow you to install what you want.
Consider this example. There are already changes in LMS 7.8.0 (currently in beta version) that provide support for TuneIn via the locally-running LMS, which could be important when the plug is eventually pulled on mysqueezebox.com. It is quite possible/likely that Logitech will never officially release 7.8.0, instead leaving it as a SB-community-supported effort. In turn, this could mean that the people at ZyXEL never release an LMS update to the "unofficial" 7.8.0. The question then becomes, can _you_ install the community-supported 7.8.0 on the NAS, or is the ZyXEL firmware too locked-down, making it difficult or impossible for you to do so? I realize the paragraph above has a lot of "ifs", "maybes", "likelys", and so forth, but I don't think it is wild speculation about what the future may hold. If you want to buy a NAS that may still be usable for SBs in a few years, make sure you get something that allows you sufficient root/admin rights to install whatever flavor of fix the community comes up with, and doesn't leave you entirely dependent on Logitech or the NAS manufacturer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99548 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
