Colin Many thanks for your response and sorry could not come back earlier but the slim server site was down.
I have a question you mentioned that AE1 does not require the server software to be installed on the PC/Nas so how does it know which mp3 to look for that's interesting. The downside of the AE1 is its a small company and they are more into speakers rather than technology as regards to reciva its their first project. I don't like the idea of sending the url to reciva and then wait to be loaded until they have time. IF there is a mistake or the url is not correct you have a problem. Another thing that can happen is a year down the line and reciva may say i want 20$ if you want to listen to say world asia just like the company world space they did the same few years ago and i wasted my money on their sat Radio. Another problem is i don't know if the AE1 is UPNP compliant i bought the creative lab's wifi media and was told loads of things including UPNP, but it can't work with any UPNP servers so which part of it is UPNP i am lost. Now creative doesn't want to enhance or support the product because of likes of SB3 etc. so once again i am stuck. If AE1 went under we will both be at a loss but if SB3 went under we still have Tversity server software which works(i am being told haven't seen it yet)with SB3. So if anyone is using SB3 with third party UPNP server software it would be interesting to know? Once again many thanks for your input Ash -- Ash58 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ash58's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3137 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19634 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
