Where internet access is fast, cheap, and never dies.
Here in the land of monopolies, internet access is going up in price, and down in bandwidth.
IME, streaming quality is much worse than AIFF delivered via NAS. NAS, is becoming more and more prevalent on this side of the planet because people are loading up a central server to deliver photos, movies, and music to 3 to 5 different types of transports/systems.
I would never put a Squeezebox in my main rig, but I have 3 of them scattered around our building. My downstairs neighbor & I share Internet access and he also accesses the NAS.
IMO, - it's unwise to put any music on any one computer, - that is gonna die, or be replaced. Or for those who don't want to go with the lower quality of a computer, or have a DB that simply won't fit.....
I've had a NAS since 2003, - I guess I'm so 2003.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
