I don't think that's what he means. I think he means using the touch+HDD as a basic NAS to serve files to other devices on the network. The touch runs Samba, so files can be transfered to and from the HDD. I have played a few audio and low bitrate video files on my laptop that were stored on the Touch's HDD, but I have not done any real extensive testing. It certianly won't run the ps3 server software, but if the device supports samba it can be used as a NAS to some limited degree. I will probably be using it as an extra backup for my photos etc. -- autopilot Cheers, auto. *lounge:* squeezebox 3, squeezebox controller, cambridge audio 640a, mission 701's *kitchen:* squeezebox touch, trends ta-10.1, kef cresta 1's. *bedroom:* squeezebox boom *bathroom/garden:* squeezebox radio *car:* ipod classic 80gb *portable:* iphone 3gs 32gb (+ipeng) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ autopilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72484 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
