After 3 years of trying I am giving up on my 6 speaker Sonos system as my sanity is threatened by the constant drop outs. The Sonos User Group has tried to help, to no avail, while Sonos itself has been fairly unhelpful. So, it's end of the road time with Sonos. I've had it with wireless music - my house is 200 years old and has thick walls, and we live in an area of poor internet.
I am proposing to go back to a traditional separates system (amp+speakers) fed by an ageing Cocktail Audio unit for my main rooms (Sitting Room and Dining Room), but I need a way of accessing around 1TB of FLAC files on hard disk to play in the kitchen as a separate item.
Can anyone suggest something which would read files from a hard drive and allow them to be selected for playing? The only option I can think of is a laptop either with a 1TB hard disk or and external hard disk coupled to software such as Media Monkey Player.
Does anyone know of a more elegant solution please?
