The NetGear ReadyNAS is not wireless as mentioned above, but you really don't want your server to be wireless anyway! That would lead to two wireless hops if your SB/TP is also wireless. This can sometimes work but often pushes the limits of wireless networking if you have a marginal home environment for wireless. Also note the server software does not reside in the Transporter or any other SB player for that matter, it's always in the server, which is why SqueezeCenter is slow on the ReadyNAS because the ReadyNAS is not a general-purpose computer.

IMHO playlists are used for older player software and aren't really necessary at rip time for SqueezeCenter. Anyway EAC can automatically write playlists, I'd imagine dBpowerAMP can as well. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53344 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
