I have a Drobo FS, which is a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, on which all my media are stored. My Drobo is connected to an Airport Extreme, which is a Apple's wifi router. Currently I have an old Macbook dedicated as a Squeezebox server. In this configuration, the Squeezebox server can access the NAS over wifi, and stream music over wifi to two Squeezebox Booms in my home.
I'm looking to replace the Macbook with a Squeezebox Touch as the server. However if I understand it correctly, in order to work as a server, the Touch needs to be physically connected to a USB storage device. The only way that the Touch can access music over wifi, the Squeezebox Server software needs to run somewhere else. In other words, if the Touch is not physically connected to the storage device, it can only function as a controller. Am I reading this wrong? Can the Touch, as a server, read from a NAS over wifi? Can it, as a server, read from a NAS over an Ethernet cable? Or can it only work as a server if the music is stored on a physically attached USB drive? -Ron. -- rpieket ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rpieket's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85472 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
