SqueezeCenter runs just fine on Windows. But you have choices, unlike most other music products, because it also runs fine on the Mac and it runs fine on many flavors of Linux and BSD Unix. > In short, I have no idea what to buy and your company is not helping me > at all. Sounds like your problem is that you can't make a decision for yourself and instead, you want to be told. Sorry, but don't expect any help there. > Why cant Logitech make the SqueezeBox and its cousins user-friendly > enough for a critical mass consumer audience? Forcing users to use a particular platform and hardware on which to run the server is not going to make the product any more friendly. Most people will be able to run SqueezeCenter on the computer (Windows, Mac or Linux) in the den. > The best advice I got from the forums were, Keep your money in your > pocket until hard drive companies start releasing versions with SC7. > But even then, I suspect they wont be plug and play and they wont be > under any endorsement or even compatibility wink wink from Logitech. Hard drive companies??? That money is going get moldy in your pocket if that's what you're waiting for. > Sick-of-reading-about-Linux-installs-and-NAS-pros-and-cons-and-rumors-about-new-SC7-modules Another problem you have, like a lot noobs, is that you think an NAS is some kind of magic appliance, no more complex than a toaster, that's going to sit off in a corner running SqueezeCenter without any input from yourself, and when it's not playing music, you probably also expect that it's going to make your dinner and do your laundry. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198
