[SlimDevices: Plugins] Using PC vs NAT for Server

2015-09-06 Thread bill77056

Hi to All,

A Qnap box was recently acquired and now Qnap, apparently, is not
currently supporting Squeezebox. Most likely the Qnap will go back. I'm
checking Synology's user forums for an alternate.

The plan for the Qnap was to move the music library on to the LAN and
stream with SBT. No interest in the Qnap's RAID capabilities. Perhaps a
better product for the music project is a dedicated PC. 

Any comments appreciated – especially about issues where the NAS would
be superior.

TIA…Bill
