Where can I get one? - Nice. I'll put that on my wish list. - Not for me, but it sure is pretty. - Lame idea.

The way I use it, is to have iTunes pointing at the shared music folder on the NAS. iTunes (running on my Mac) then reads/writes all the music files over the network. The slimserver plugin on the NAS serves the files on the NAS to the SB (and yes it will do Apple Lossless). My Mac doesn't need to be on to use the SB Derek -- DerekDenyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DerekDenyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3479 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24534 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
