I have found the Squeezebox to be a ridiculously infuriating piece of gear, starting with the requirement of only having one "drive" and the fact that it has now lost the ability to find the designated drive. I didn't think my file system was that complicated, but it has really driven me nuts.
I'm set up as follows:
Macbook Pro
- iTunes folder (contains all of my MP3/AAC files)
external Iomega 1.5TB drive
- folders entitled "Masters" etc. Each folder contains subfolders containing WAVs, then within those, FLACs
I can't get the aliasing of the iTunes folder to work, either. In general, I find the thing to be a very limiting solution with pretty weak software, at least on the mac. It's also pretty expensive.
So anyway, when I next set up an audio system, I think I will go a different route. I've got friends who use this:
