I currently have itunes songs (lossless) stored on my maxtor external hard drive connected to a PC. I share this folder with my lap top so I have a more mobile music 'base'. However, i am going to purchase a sonos mainly for the multiroom flexibility and new sonos controller! Rather than have my PC turned on just to play music, i am thinking of a NAS

1) Can i transfer or 'dump' my music library/folders to the NAS without having to burn my CD collection?

2) Any suggestions on NAS? AVA 3 looks good but expensive - what about theBuffalo's, Would the quailty of music reproduction vary using different NAS assuming music is lossless. I assume it is the DAC in the sonos units (or external DAC) that control this.

Any Nas will do, most have usb connections to allow you to connect external drives. I used a qnpa and its sync'ing feature built in allowed me to keep the data (music in your case) on the external drive updated with the NAS and vice versa.

Well I can recommend Netgear ReadynasDuo , got this a couple weeks ago and currently copying (FLAC) CD's to it via EAC , Its seems great easy to setup / add second * (I've got RD2150) - Resonably quiet , pretty compact 5/5
