NAS Storage


Does anyone have any experience with the newer NAS storage devices, acting as a server on an Ethernet network hooked up to a MAC or PC or both? What do you like and why?

I'm using a 1 terrabyte Time Capsule as an NAS. I have my home's first floor computers (including my wife's business machine) hardwired to the TC. My son's computer on the second floor access is wireless. I'm running a MacMini with a van de Hull Toslink cable to my DAC, & from there to my tube preamp and tube amp. I use iTunes for playback, and have all my music files in Lossless format. As for why I like it, foremost it's a Mac like the rest of our hardware, so setup,& interfacing with it is easy. The TC also automatically backs up the hardwired machines on the network. Thumbs up!
Rabco, can you access Rhapsody on your system? This is the reason I went with Sonos.
Jamesw20, interesting question. I haven't tried. The Rhapsody website lists the system requirements as specifying Windows OS of some kind, with no mention of Mac.Unless there's a work around I'm unaware of, I think the answer is no. Sorry about that!
Rabco, Just found this on the Rhapsody site:

Yes. You can play music from Safari and Firefox Web browsers with Rhapsody Online. Check if your Mac meets the system requirements to make sure you'll have the best listening experience. On Linux, you can play music from the Firefox Web browser
