Ohhh, thanks for the clarity old chap! Jeez...I've looked rather thoroughly on both the slimdevices and readynas forums and just think all this information (capabilities, limitations, etc) could very easily be compiled and put on a sticky thread or/and on the WIKI.
Alas I see that there is a LAME transoder that can be downloaded and installed onto the x86 processor ReadyNAS but no avenue for the Sparc based NAS...as you mention the processing power is not suitable for this task. I guess all this does very much keep the squeezebox crowd limited in number to a degree. The tinkerers and those fortunate enough to enjoy programming love it, but as a consumer just looking to get going it sure does insist on an awful lot of footwork and brow-furrowing to get everything set up smoothly. whew..my Sonos by comparison is a cakewalk...but strangely I somehow like em both. (and there is the 'slacker' thing that sonos doesnt have at present). What has become evident to me is that one of the biggest strength of the squeezebox system are it's passionate users. The number of threads that reference the commitment of users to hammer away at working through implementation issues is amazing both here and at the readynas website. -- Moozh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moozh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62268 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
