Hi Tony,
Thank's for the reply. It begins to make sense now.
I knew Sonic blue did the Rio Receivers, but always thought a PC was the server... I never knew it was streamed from a Rio Central.
Slightly worrying as I was in the home HiFi industry at that time.....
I totally missed the Rio Central and Receiver products at their launch.
I'm sure I remember a empeg fitted in a 'Smart Car' at one of the uk trade shows. My mate and I were 'into cars'. He was in the trunk looking at the 3 cylinder turbo charged 700cc engine under the floor, (No substitute for cubic Inches then.....) At least I was dreaming about the indash mp3 player.....


I currently have my mp3 on a Buffalo Linkstation NAS.
I wouldn't use the Central as a server but a NAS and home player.
The largest disc size quoted in centrals is only ever 120Gb, I guess at the limitation of the early Linux Kernels. Do you know if this has being hacked ?
Im going to need more storage........
Else do you know if a central can also 'see' files on an external usb HDD?

But I suppose more importantly.......
