I have a Transporter, and in order to make it run, I need: a computer for squeezebox server; furthermore, I have a huge collection of CDs so, I added a 1.5TB x 2 Linksys DNS-323 NAS... Plus a router to put everything together!
Someday, I told myself: does it really need to be so complicated to get Transporter running??? (I know I can hack DNS-323) If you open the lid of Transporter, you will see half of that box is empty, why cannot we use that empty space to do something? Like to find an old MacMini from ebay rip it open, put it inside Transporter, so the squeezebox server can be installed inside the Transporter, and we can even put a HD in it and save more space. My ideal setup is like: Transporter, router and a disk array. Nothing else. Probably someone here can give me some insight about why Transporter are designed so complicated: separate computer, a disk array, a router to make Transporter work?? Recently, iPod Touch, iPhone are getting popular, does anyone want to run their squeezebox server on iPod or iPhone?? My set up: DLink DNS-323 NAS (with no RAM hacks) --> Apple Airport Extreme --> Acer Aspire One (running Ubuntu) --> Transporter --> Quad 66Pre --> Quad 606II. -- steve11001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steve11001's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77427 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
