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 ...

Thanks. Well, I'd replace LMS with what I use all day on my PC - Foobar 2000, or its equivalent on a built-to-purpose fanless Android or Linux PC that lives in the "stereo cabinet" - in my case an old armoire. Foobar does the parts of what LMS does that I'm interested in - namely build a database of music and serve it from the NAS via a fairly utilitarian user interface (maybe I can find an app with a fancier interface that takes advantage of the touchscreen). I understand that LMS does much more in that it can manage other Squeeze devices on the network and connect to mysqueezebox.com or whatever it's called - but I don't have the former or use the latter. I do use the Web radio part, but I'm sure Web radio can be accessed from the device we're talking about creating. Anyway I don't see myself acquiring any new Squeeze devices from Logitech, in light of the fact that they've dropped the line. OTOH, I applaud the community-based, non-profit effort to build a replacement and tell a big company that real human needs should not be dependent on profitability alone. Call me a radical if you want - I also refill my own Canon ink cartridges. [shrug smilie]
By the way, I'm now in the process of re-populating the NV+ with my collection after a factory reset. At your suggestion I've downloaded the latest nightly of LMS (logitechmediaserver-7.8.1-1397251110). When I get it up and running on the Touch I'll give you a report on how it performs - some time after Easter, most likely.
