Its working ! 😀

Started over and used a regular sata disk 320 GB instead of the My book 500 GB with the NSLU2.
Only problem I have now is that Itunes doesnt seem to work too well with Vista 64. I get an error message when I start Itunes, and when I tried Firefly on Itunes running on Vista 64 it broke down after 15 secs.
Any known solutions to this out there ?
Any alternatives to Itunes ? If so which ones ?

Next for me is to consider how to oganize my music.
It would be optimal ( isnt that what this is all about ? ) just to have the music in one place and then distribute it from there to my computers and my Kiss player. But all those file formats ! protected files etc. Makes me sick !
I guess the easiest would be to have all my music as mp3´s.
Is that what people do out there ? 🙂

Thanks a million Ron. You are the best ! You rock ! ❗ ❗

Not sure about iTunes on vista64.

As far as organizing, I manage my music on itunes, and use a tool like rsync or unison to synchronize my local files to the machine that I run my daap server one.

That way the server acts as both a backup of my music and as a music server for network devices.
