I was using Squeezecenter on an old laptop hooked up to WD external drive - the music was served to two Squeezeboxes - the first generation wireless and the second generation wireless.
A hardware freakout has caused my external WD to be unusable/unreadable by any of my machines. As such, I will have to re-rip all of my music. I will take this as a chance to re-rip into a higher bit rate (FLAC lossless I think) than I did the first time around and house the music in a dedicated music server with backup capability. Three options I am considering for a dedicated music server: VortexBox 1 or 2TB appliance XIVA MusicM8 Olive Opus 4 My questions - 1. if I use any of these, can my existing Squeezeboxes link to these servers to serve music in different rooms? 2. if music is ripped to these servers, can it be exported to a portable (iPod ) device directly or does it have to go through a PC 3. has anyone in the Slimdevices community had experience with these devices?
