In an earlier thread, I had asked about building a "SB Touch" replacement that would be purely a player streaming from an existing NAS. After reviewing the options, I'm leaning more towards going with a full SqueezePlug build to get around some limitations with the way the NAS does server duty. My questions:
1) If I build a wi-fi equipped Raspberry Pi with SqueezePlug running LMS, can I keep my music collection on the NAS and access it from the Pi, or would I need it to be on a USB HD connected directly to the Pi? 2) If the latter, would the file system be common for the HD between Windows and the Pi's Linux so that I could plug the drive into my PC, copy new music files directly, then plug the drive back into the Pi and run update to include the new files, or are they incompatible so that I'd have to transfer such files over the network instead? (If this seems like an odd question, remember that I come from a time when there were a multitude of personal computer platforms and OSes, and the only thing you could count on would be total incompatibility in getting files from a disk on one platform to one on another.) Any help will be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the nightfly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42075 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98939 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
