PS Audio PWD opinions

i used J River until the most recent elyric update. previous elyric versions did not work well on my win7 set-up. the most recent update seemed to address most of the problems i was having.

so yes...J River works if that's what you want to use i was using their new ipad app "My River" as a controller. liked it alot.

Depends on the NAS most have embedded server software.. some works well (netgear) some doesn't.. so first just try it with the NAS. If it's wonky then you need to run eLyric server on your Mac. Don't forget you need to download eLyric iDevice controller from the Apple Store to control it all. Also no need for an mp3 copy, you can set iTunes to export to your iDevice a 128k acc file.. Simply setup your Mac to look for the Nas as the iTunes library.. But remember iTunes does not play nice with Flac, Alac or Aiff.. Songbird does flac and it can export mp3

Yes, Foobar can be used to manage music and to stream to the Bridge. It has both a player/manager and a server. I am doing it this very minute. I use Apple Remote app to control the player side, eLyric to control the server side, all from the iPad.
