I actually didn't catch that as it seemed to get off topic. But that might solve some of my problems. But is an external drive connected to a router technically considered an NAS? It's not a self-powered server, it's just an external drive. That's the setup I was asking about. Since I do not have a Squeezebox product yet, is it possible to use the server software to prep a backup hard drive for when the Touch is finally available? -- metalbob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ metalbob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71012 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
