Although if you music is all on your home LAN, then why not just connect directly to it ?

True. However, there might be situations when a Receiver Streamer is what you want instead. Examples:

- You aren't using a PC to serve the music, you are using an HSX-109.

- You don't want to use open shares on your network because those are a security risk in some situations, and also an opening for certain viruses to spread.

- You are running the Linux or Java versions of the Receiver server software on a machine that isn't running a Samba server.
