I’ve got the cheaper one of these with a 1TB drive. It’s OK and was much cheaper and less faff than anything else I looked at. (eg Sonos with NAS)

You can stream from it as well if you can be arsed.

The more expensive one is supposed to be a bit more HiFi. Perhaps you could “audition” it 🙂

Yeah, looked at those, probably would’ve been perfect, but I didn’t like the price.

Er, yeah, precisely what I said, the post above your one, like.

Yeah, I somehow missed your post. Still, great minds and all that 🙂

Keep meaning to get round to buying a Zyxel NAS. This one:

Annoyingly, they were doing it a couple of weeks ago with a free 1Tb WD Red drive. Should have got it then.

Always seems to be something else more important that needs buying though…..

How about something like a Roku or a WDTV live they’ll take a Big USB drive full of music and you control them over wifi. You don’t have to use the video-out- but it might be be handy so you can flick the TV on to browse your collection.

I should thank cbmotorsport for his suggestion what I went wiv.

Synology NAS. Not an expensive one

They don’t do cheap though do they. A solid choice I think but how is it working out in practice?

All of this is a bit greek to me but sounds like a good solution. Am I right in thinking that you connect said Synology/other NAS unit to your modem and that would beam it to your ‘spare android phone’?
