Title: LAN Dock.
Post by: Gerard on January 22, 2016, 10:42:58 am
Peter,

I still have my music on a HDD in a dockingstation.

Would this work? The LAN Connection? Thought i res somewhere it would be not a good thing (NAS)

Gerard,

There is nothing wrong which such a thing, BUT you are completely 100% fully on your own. :)
If it does not work right out of the box (take 50% on that) then I can not help and nobody will be able to (unless by sheer coincidence someone uses the same).

Real compatibility with such a thing is usually far away and thus it won't do what a normal Windows OS would and which is the only thing I (XXHighEnd) obviously can depend on.

On a side note it would be a good thing if someone would be able to find something cheap (like 20 euros) which works for everybody. And then still :
For me it can't work because the largest HDDs at this moment are 8TB (I think) and that is not sufficient for me.
I still have ~10 HDDs mounted in my music server (no, not all of 8TB - haha).

That is about one Hires album - maybe two.
But alas, we don't play Hires, do we ?
