RE: Network Attached Storage as MP3 jukebox?

["Ward, David" <DAvid.Ward@xxxxxxxxxx>]

just so that you are aware, it runs a Linux based OS and requires the HDDs
to be formatted as such, HDDs are NOT just plug and play compatible with
FA=
T
or NTFS
It's not a problem if you have Linux based machines or a USB drive that you
dedicate to it and then copy the contents over the network to.
There is also a windows app that will allow you to read the drives

Seen the Linksys NSLU2?

Great little box,  silent network attached NAS head unit,   you=20
just slam a
couple of large USB2 disks in the back (like Maxtor Onetouch=20
300GB drives)
and bobs your uncle.  Even can do things like backup disk-2-disk and
disk-2-share.  If your feeling brave there are some hacks=20
around to install
an iTunes server on the box etc.....

Well worth a look,  its only =A360.
