[slim] Anyone tried the Olive Opus No4?
I have a couple of transporters but the hassle of running a separate server and dodgy wifi connections is killing me. Has anyone tried the Opus? The display on the machine looks great - not as large as the transporter but more character width and you can see the album art. It's cheaper than the transporter despite integrated CD (useful from time to time I guess) and a 400GB hard drive. My real concern is the ease of loading my flac music collection and the ease of selecting tracks. On the transporter I only use the browse music folder path based technique, anyone know how the opus works.

Seems to me your question is best answere by the folks over at Olive... -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic...

Re: [slim] Anyone tried the Olive Opus No4?
I emailed them and it suports flac and Wav, FLAC, and MP3 and .jpg album art. They did not say if folder.jpg would work or or I would need to write a script to change the file names. They said they have no folder based browse, like the iPod you can only select by genre, artist etc. That's a hassle.. anyone know if there are plans to release a transporter with a hard drive? -- willyhoops willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58653 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I fail to see the attraction of overpriced self contained music servers as I've been using free PCs since my first SB1. Almost any PC has enough power to run SqueezeCenter. I've only used two server PCs for music in 5 years or so, but each was just laying arround unused in my basement -- too slow to use for anything real. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
