I agree completely with the common sense in the previous two posts. The earlier posts herein are thoughtful and helpful too.
I would observe that techie types are overrepresented in these forums. Suffice it to say, for these products that we all love (I think) to be very successful, they need to be user friendly for the general population. I think they are. But, keep that in mind when offering advice, consider who the reader is, and that they may be looking simply for plug and play solutions. So, as a non-techie myself, I say to the questions at hand: 1. Yes, forget this NAS baloney, who cares about learning linux to get software to run on something with the computing power of an instant-read thermometer. 2. Yes, a $300 computer, or some junker, will supply a lifetime of music without requiring a lifetime of tinkering with it to work. 3. Yes, using a computer you already have, that is already turned on, is a fine idea. It will work great. 4. Yes, I have my hard hat on, I'm ready for incoming artillery. Oh, and Yes, your sound streams will be better if you buy more take-out, eat more sandwiches, or just do less cooking (in general) with your microwave. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51731 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
