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 ...

Naw, I never said I wanted a player that doesn't need a server. The Wandboard, running Community Squeeze OS F19 (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthrea ... -Release-1), and the NAS would be the server. As for replacing the Touch, I'd do that as an option once the Wandboard is in place, because its audio output will match or exceed the Touch's, and because the Wandboard can drive a 7" display. At that point I'd sell the Touch and end up - maybe - with a better solution and money left over for purchasing hi-res audio.
In terms of purchase price alone, your 100$ PC is a good idea, asis recycling old equipment. But power consumption, noise, heat, and space are also considerations. I don't doubt that an x86 PC would be more powerful than the Wandboard. But remember that the Wandboard is being asked only to send audio files to the Touch (or, if it ends up being a replacement for the Touch, playing the files). Also consider that the Wandboard the Squeezebox community's solution is based on is a Freescale i.MX6D i.MX35 533. I'd be interested to hear what you think abut the difference. Specs can be had at: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/ ... e=taxonomy
Thanks for your interest.
