ReadyNAS NV+ and Twonky - most musical firmwares

[Music Lover]

Anyone that actually tested this?

I'm still using RAIDiator 4.01 and Twonky 4.4.6.
A year ago I compared with Raidiator 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 but these where less musical.

I believe latest ones are RAIDiator 4.1.7 and Twonky 6.0.31


btw
what is the feature advantage with Briain's Twonky 5 with add-on?


fyi
You can download old Raidiator firmwares with this formula

X is the version, example
4.01c1-p2/RAIDiator-4.01c1-p2 (the one I have in my NV+)
4.1.3/RAIDiator-4.1.3
4.1.4/RAIDiator-4.1.4
4.1.5/RAIDiator-4.1.5
4.1.6/RAIDiator-4.1.6

The main advantage is greatly improved tree structures for finding tracks/albums.

For example, I use the Album Artist tree a lot, which hides the individual track artists on compilations, and the "contributing artists" who only helped on one track. If I want to find those individual tracks I can go in via Artist Index. I also use Year fairly frequently, and have used Tunes a few times when I want a different version of a song and can remember title but not artist.

Also, he's resolved issues with earlier versions that caused the ReadyNAS to fill up the main partition with cached images and then crash completely, and done some configuration to support iPad and iPod Touch control points with sensible image rescaling etc.

In simple terms, I can't see any reason why a Linn DS owner would use any Twonky version other than one of Briain's ones (unless you find that if you test them one is more musical, but I would doubt that).
