NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hi,

I can't seem to understand the UPnP DLNA thing, just wondered if there is a simple explanation somewhere ?

I use a squeezebox, that pulls files from a specified location (across the network) and plays them through my stereo.

If i use a player like Foobar, on the laptop, it pulls the files from where instructed (across the network) and plays them.

All that I can work out, is that if the music files and maybe videos are on naslite-M2, things like an xbox or a tv with dnla built in, can pull them over the network without a pc being on somewhere...? where as with naslite-2 this can't happen..?

Many thanks for any thoughts,
Cheers

This is exactly what you would expect. Naslite-M2 is a DNLA-compliant server and so can serve media onto your network so that media players (hardware or software-based) can play them. On the other hand, Naslite-2 provides just a simple data storage system.

Am I missing something here?
