I think that box was designed with something different in mind. It's designed to be a music player on its own, with its own soundcard and everything, and it doesn't need (and I think can't use) a Squeezebox.
A Squeezebox works off Ethernet or wireless networking. This device does not appear to have an Ethernet port - in fact, the first link you provided indicates it includes a "modem port" (!) It does have a USB port but then you'd have to keep it permanently connected to a networked PC and keep the networked PC on at all times, which defeats the purpose of the whole thing. It can apparently rip to uncompressed formats, but you lose the bit-perfect error correction you can get with EAC. Finally, in order to load SlimServer on it, you'd have to find hacked 3rd party firmware that will allow loading of other applications. You'd be much better off to get a NAS device that can support SlimServer. The only one possibly available in Australia that can support SlimServer easily is the Infrant ReadyNAS. It's expensive, but probably the same price as that pricey Imerge box. You can load SlimServer on others, like Kurobox and Linksys NSLU2, but those require some Linux knowledge and hacking skills. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22758 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
