How many people carry music around on thumb drives as opposed to MP3 players (which don't need a Touch to play through a stereo)? Will people buy an external drive to store their music rather than running SlimServer on a PC, and if so, how will they add music to it, and will the drive be accessible throughout their network?
I agree that setting up and managing a SlimServer is complicated for non-techies, but I don't understand how the Touch will help. Maybe I'm missing something. (Thanks for the rest of your reply, however, which makes sense to me.) -- bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bruce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
