Re: [slim] livedrive etc
Thanks for the response jo-wie. The advantages of storing everything in the cloud are many. I don't need to bother with backups (buying backup devices, the hassle of doing the backup, the electricity etc). I can access my data from any internet enabled device, from anywhere in the world. I can share things with other people easily without having to send email attachments. I can store my contacts in one central accessible place (rather than having multiple contact lists across different email accounts and on my mobile), etc. But I guess these things aren't important to everyone. I take your point about the continuous, reliable datastream. Difficult to know this without trying it out. I'd still be interested to hear if Logitech have considered partnering with livedrive. -- jimmyb jimmyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63682 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Their server could go down, data can get corrupted, they may go out of business, who knows but I would have duplicates of any such files and data regardless of where it is stored. They have already partnered with MP3Tunes to do exactly what you wish but in a simpler format and designed specifically for music and live streaming. Try streaming a music file from your online data storage to any device or server program to test it yourself. :) Point taken but they store multiple duplicates for you across different sites. You could take duplicates yourself but your duplicates might fail or be stolen or. How far do you want to take it? Are you gonna backup your backup of your backup...? :) I know they've teamed up with MP3Tunes but I've got lots of different types of things to store (videos, photos etc) so Mp3Tunes doesn't really fit my needs. -- jimmyb jimmyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63682 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] livedrive etc
Hello Not sure if I'm posting to the correct forum but I'll push on clumsily I was thinking of purchasing a livedrive account (www.livedrive.com) for storage of my data (including music) in the cloud as opposed to locally. I have three questions: 1) After installing the livedrive software, your storage appears as a local drive on your pc (Windows only for now I think) so could I use this with Squeezecentre by setting the music folder on my livedrive drive as my Squeezecentre library? 2) If (1) is true then surely I can store my music in flac format and still stream it from the cloud (unlike mp3tunes which does not support flac). Assuming my internet connection is fast enough, of course. 3) Have Logitech considered synching livedrive with Squeezenetwork?
