Eventually bittten the bullit and bought 2 play 5 and bridge(£££'s ouch!), all music still on CD's so been ripping these to laptop as a shortterm solution but really want to be able to use Sonos without having laptop on so now looking for NAS which I know nothing about.Can get something like WD My Book Live Personal Cloud Storage 2 TB for approx £115 which is about sort of money thinking of spending but usually find someone who knows more about these things has got a better piece of kit looking for ideas before max out credit card.
Any suggestions, thanks

I bought 2 of the WD my book live 2tb drives mentioned above for my Sonos.

One mirrors the other and backs up every night. I get an email to tell me it has been done.
Tea Pot One how does the back up work is it some software that comes with the drives or in windows(I'm on XP) is it easy for a novice to set up?
