Hi,
I have a Buffalo Linkstation Live NAS and would like to play my mp3 music directly from this via a soundbridge (by wired cable), without the need of a pc.
Before I go out and buy a Soundbridge is this possible???

The only music player I have seen that can do this is the Sonos. But I am not too keen on having the wireless on constantly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

no.7 is what you're looking for have a good long read of that and here (even longer read!):

get your head around it before doing anything rash

The Linkstation Live will do this 'out of the box'. No firmware modifications required. It has a built in iTunes 7 server. This works very well, Iam using this solution at the moment.

I have a linkstation live feeding my Soundbridge 1001 and it only seems to pick up the first 300 tracks.

Also, When I go to 'change library or configuration', the linkstation has two entries; connecting to one tells me that there are 'no entries found', the other contains the first 300 or so tracks in my library which when I browse 'all music' lists all tracks from A to C, meaning that anything with a title from C onwards alphabetically is not accessible.....

90% of the tracks are ripped from CD using WMP11 in wma format. Any ideas?
