Ok, all set to order the new squeeze box 3, have it modded by Boulder Cable, and get to work burning my entire CD Collection w/ EAC. But this is all new to me, so I need some answers to a lot of questions and nudges in the right direction.
I own a laptop with a 60GB HD. Not enough for the music collection...so, I'll need to buy an external HD. I was looking at 300GB Maxtor drives. I have no idea what kind of DVD RW drive I have. I have read that Plextor DVD drives will burn better quality copies. I have wireless router located in basement (I live in an old house, no cable outlets upstairs). #1 Does the HD need to be plugged into the computer or can I place it downstairs next to router + plug it into the router? #2 Is the wireless network cabable of handling streaming large music files, like full tracks from burned CD? #3 Does computer need to be turned on to listen to burned CD's on HD if HD is plugged into router? #4 Is this a reliable way to listen to music, or am I setting myself up for frustration? #5 Is it neccessary to buy Plextor drive or will the drive I have now do just fine? I apologize if any or all of the questions have previously been answered and are available somewhere on this site. I did some snooping, but could not find answers such as these. Thanks for attention and help. -- sammie _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
