LMS on latest ReadyNAS products?
Just found out about the new ReadyNAS product line. First question that came to mind is: is Logitech Media Server (LMS) still supported on this platform? I currently am very happy with my NVX but I ...

I built a test version of the Wandboard approach and it works well so far. It's a viable solution and frees you from LMS on ReadyNAS. IMO, it's still in it's infancy, but looks like growing support and users. Community-Squeeze-OS (CSOS) for Wandboard can be used as LMS or a squeeze player.

Here's the approach:
1. Purchase Wandboard dual, 8 GB Sandisk micro SDHC card, case, WiFi antenna, and 5 VDC 10W power supply. I spent about $137 from Digi-Key and $9 for SDHC card from Amazon.
2. Download CSOS image for Wandboard (it's currently R5). Load image onto SDcard, assemble, boot, and configure CSOS via web page. The Wandboard mounts your music file system exported from your ReadyNAS via CIFS. Minimal configuration via ssh on Wandboard is necessary for early versions of CSOS. I disable squeeze player, and enable LMS. I use hard line Ethernet, so I disable WiFi and bluetooth. It's pretty easy (also search starter guide on forum (http://forums.slimdevices.com/forumdisp ... Linux-Unix).
3. Configure LMS via web page access to Wandboard (just like LMS on ReadyNAS products). Perform library scan.
Performance is reasonable for a 5W computer; it handles a 25K track library and multiple SB classic and SB touch players. I'm looking for a 5-year solution that doesn't require LMS on a user desktop/laptop/workstation, and this is a contender.
