MB100: OS specific? Yes and No...

[Golucid]

It dawned on me today [yeah, you're soak'n in it] that the MB100 is a bit BiPolar. Why so? Well, there are a number of means to integrate media [music mainly] onto the device.

The owners manual and the device itself encourages you to use the physical ports at the rear of the unit to import files. However, last year, I learned that all you need do is navigate to the device IP and connect to server. Boom! You have done the equivalent of connected another hard drive to your computer: PC or Mac.

The beauty of this is that you do not need to format your media drive to a specific file format. So, that means you can use an OS X, FAT or Linux OS to move file media to the device directly.

What's this? You can entirely by-pass the physical ports at the rear of the MB100? Yup! You certainly can and should!

What's great about this - is that you can instantly update your media files: add/edit/delete -- BOOM! [double BOOM! that!]

The Autonomics software will immediately begin re-indexing and cataloging. Suite, yeah? YEAH! [Scratch Scratch hEaVen hEaVen!]

How to access the drive, you're in luck. Here how and I provided instructions last year/2004. MB100 Granular Access
