i m on the verge of a nervous breakdown...i decided to go all digital and couple of weeks ago bought qnap nas thinking about making things simpler...boy..it is slow as hell. any light acitivity stuck qnap processor at 100 %. and worst of all you have to deal with libraries abd that s when things started to get ugly...as you know, you cant get away with one player these days. im using media monkey +asio, itunes and xbmc. it takes ages to any of them to scan music libraries. and i have by todays standards pretty modest collection of 500gb of music, some of them high res, mixed with 320mp3s...it takes ages. and if you made some missteps, and its not so hard with nas, it takes ages to do it again. and lets not talk about how it looks like to move itunes libray onto nas! i cant imagine the horror of dealing with libraries of 4tb or more! and windows...from time to time i cant see my nas under windows workgroup under networks. sometimes it s there but sometimes it s not? and it is important because you have to show any of the players path to your music on nas...
all in all, i m pretty fed up and thinking about alternatives...is there anything simpler and less painfull than nas crap? i m thinking about some network players, even if i m not so happy about new boxes and waf atmosphere is pretty low these days as you can imagine after my loud frustration with setting up my shiny new digital library...or go back to square one, walking more and listening an old fm radio...i m pretty sick of spending hours and hours trying to "set up things"...and word of advice: if any of you is even slightly impatient, please forget messing up with nas and such...bigger internal drive or even external drive are way better solution...and yes, nas is one bay qnap ts 112, i can t even think about how it looks like to deal with the same underpowered nases with 4 or 6 drives with 3tb of music or whatever on each of them!
