Although I don't know very much about this product it seems to be getting fairly good reviews on newegg.com. What Snap Server are you using? Are you using it with a Mac? |
I am using a Snap 2000 with two 80gb drives configured as Raid 1. No, I have no Macs on my network.
I saw some of the N2100P on eBay when I bought my Snap, but they were too pricy for me. That said, the iTunes server feature of that device looks pretty cool. Basically, it maintains its own database of tracks on the server, and mimics a computer on the network that is sharing its collection through the standard iTunes sharing.
So far, I am pretty happy with how the Snap works with iTunes. I played with it again last night, and I am able to browse, search and play my collection through the wireless g connection quite well. Simply create a share for your music files on the snap, map that share as a drive on the local machine, load the files into this share, and use the "File>Add folder to Library..." to import the tracks on the mapped drive into the libaray.
