Hi, i have a funplugged DNS-323 (FW1.04b63) and have just bought a soundbridge (m1000).
It can connect to the builtin UPnP AV server - but fails when retrieving playlists. When trying to access Artists, Album etc it shows number and starts to download/sync but always disconnects after 700 = ie. soundbridge says it cant connect. Genres does work - and i can navigate in that menu and play music,
I Guess that the builtin UPnP AV server cant habdle a large music collection (25GB).
So now to my question - what should i install?
I understand that it stand betwean Firefly (nightly builds) or Twonky.
I want to be able to play playlists and have an easy folder navigation.
What's the best choice?
Regards,
Martin

Twonky is flawless. The only downside is that it will keep the disks spinning and the fan humming.

Thanks for answer, is that because twonky is power hungry or is there some way to make it not spin up the discs?
What about firefly, it seems that the recommended choice over at rokulabs.com and the description points out that firefly dont take need that much power?
What will give me the best navigation on the soundbridge? (does search work for both?)
Thanks,

I use mt-daapd (the predecessor to Firefly) and it works flawlessly for me. You cannot navigate a folder-structure, however, you navigate in the same way as in iTunes (by artist, album, genre, playlist etc).

Twonky tends to rescan the media directories at its own merit which keeps the disks spinning.
rokulabs.com are in close relationship with firefly but I do not see either player as a clear winner.
Soundbridge and Rokuradio are both unable to perform fast forward and back up from playback menu once the songs started playing, which is surprising for product at this price level.
I have chosen twonky simply because last year you could get a lifetime license for €14 covering up to three servers and it runs on all sorts of hardware, I suspect even on grandma's clock ;-)
