The Oboe service is part of MP3tunes. There have apparently been some discussions between SD & MP3tunes (search the forum for previous threads). No idea what the current status is. Personally, I don't see the point of streaming my own collection over the internet when I have it on a hard disk on my LAN. YMMV, etc.
A NAS is Network Attached Storage. It's a hard drive that connects anywhere on your network, usually via ethernet cable, although there are some wireless versions around. A NAS has a processor, RAM, and an OS (usually linux) so it's really a special purpose computer: low powered, low power consumption, and oriented towards serving files to other computers on the network. But some NASs can also run slimserver, like the Buffalo LinkStation that I use. If you don't like slimserver on a desktop or notebook comuter then you won't like it any better on a NAS. But if the issue is not having a PC on, the NAS is a nice solution. See the SD wiki for more info. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
