Thanks for the posts. I was thinking of a larger buffer which can be
streamed later. If 2Gb isn't possible then why not something less.
There are some DAB tuners that can save a bit of DAB for playing later
and I'm sure they don't have operating sytems. I realise the data from
DAB is smaller than
i for one think putting SS on the SB and completely removing it from the
computer is a FANTASTIC idea that i've wanted since i first setup the
whole shebang.
for one, it completely gets rid of the platform issues. for two,
upgrades and so on could be done automatically by the SB on its own, no

I've just had a think about what I would enjoy in the next squeezebox.
I really like the size and design of the device at present. Adding a
large hard drive would really mess up the concept. That would be for a
transporter type device.
what I would really like would be an on board memory chip
There was a fairly long -- and somewhat acrimonious -- thread along
these lines a month or two back. Then I think the idea was more towards
putting a USB port on the SB so that one could hook up an external hard
drive. Adding storage to the SB isn't enough, because you would still
need to do

Since Slimserver is a ... nuisance when running on a 300 MHz NAS
device, I doubt that a PocketPC would be sufficient ... nor beefing up
the CPU under say 800 MHz (which I wouldn't want, too much power
consumption, too much heat, ...) would make sense.

Dash, nevermind!
Thanks for the information regarding why this idea isn't feasible.
All the best,

It surely *is* feasible for future hardware -- it just isn't possible with
current hardware.

The SB has a moderately large buffer in it to prevent gaps in playback
when the network gets busy, etc. What if that buffer were increaded by
adding a 2GB USB thumbdrive? The SB would simply grab the entire
playlist as fast as the server can squirt it, then the server could be
shut down. If

I'm not one to address whether or not this (the thumb-on-SB idea) is a
good

Somewhat true, but this 'fact' (which will soon be an urban legend) is
developing a life of its own as technology changes underneath it.
Right, flash memory is changing
