hi all... I was hoping you might be able to help with a bit of my understanding on creating a music server..... Would it bests to purchase external drives ... or would it be better to get internal drives for a server of some sort.... Can you just pull the internal drive out of an external drive if you want to go the NAS server route in the future... Or is a NAS just simply multiple drives hooked up via USB? I know I'm an idiot....
Secondly, software... is the basic approach to get something like JRiver or Foobar 2000 and use your computer to handle the tasks?
What is the difference between ISO files and DSD... DSF? files (sound/size).... Can I just roll with the ISO? If I have something like this - how easy is it to JUST play the stereo versions of your music?
Do I basically need a laptop up all the time to handle this... and ... finally.... can I use a tablet/phone to drive this vs having to type / choose things from my laptop?
Sorry -- I just started to get into this -- I'm not totally illiterate when it comes to computers - (I'm in IT) - but I have always worked with ERP software... not PC's!!
I have a squeezebox touch 3 -- how much rez can it take over wifi / and via usb...
Lots of questions...... Hoping someone can help me avoid big mistakes.... Thanks Tim.
