I'm looking to buy Logitech SqueezeBox Duet and would like to know if it will work with my DNS-323 (FW 1.09) ?
-
It should. Just don't try running Squeezebox Server on it unless you have a lot of time on your hands. Squeezebox server has grown to be the everything app for Squeezebox and does not run very efficiently on a DNS-323 anymore.
What you will want to do is point your Squeezebox Server to your music directory on your DNS or if you are running Windows add a shortcut to your dns in your local music directory.

Planning to buy a Duet too, but I don't want to run a pc with the SB server. The DNS-323 I have should be good enough to share music to the Duet by itself. Now when the DNS-323 supports add-ons, shouldn't it be possible to write an add-on that share music to the Duet?
-
Not much interest for this issue. To bad, my DNS-323 has served me well, but next NAS will be a Netgear.
-
Make sure your next NAS advertises the features that you need ;)
-
More important, I will chose a NAS that will be ready for the future and with a flexible team behind it. When I bought the DNS-323 I had no intention to us a Squeezebox. Time changes, so does services and the need for different services.
-
And what funds those changes? Good will? ;)
Good luck finding a product for a fixed price that does everything you will ever think of or need in the future!
-
Good question, who funded the features already delivered? The NAS is still in the market, new customers are paying for it.
-
They are paying for what's advertised on the box, not some vauge hope as to what it might do in the future.
