Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio?

RE: the original post

I just purchased the Bluesound Node 2 and I am very impressed
- neddless to say - my iMac will never be used for music again!

Computers are fraught with software and hardware compatibility issues. Every time a new upgrade or OS version is release the vendors of the playback software are left having to upgrade or re-write.

I lived with the iMac for a few years, but with the Bluesound is in the system - even my wife can use it without fear of crashes or glitches.

I’m a long time computer user, but the Bluesound has made me a convert.

It’s not quite as flexible as the computer, but its easy to use and I can live with the few things it does not do.

The Bluesound Vault has a hard drive. not sure how easy it is to save songs to.

The Node 2 is just a streamer

2psyop - a couple points...

1. did you create an index?
- I think you might have to do this before you can play songs (my memory is going)

2. once you index you may see duplicate tracks
- e.g. I have MP3 and AIFF versions of some songs/albums - so I get two tracks on those albums.
- it’s a bit of a pain but forces you to clean up your library.

3. Creating playlists is not as simple/friendly as other library management software (no drag and drop as yet)



As the others have stated - call Bluesound support, they are very good (unlike Apple)
