    I can not access my Music library on my NAS?! Ok, if I map the NAS-folder to a 'local' drive, but I would like native network support. Anyway, many thanks for developing this great tool :D

    Well, there is support for it.
    The only problem is that i need Interop.Shell32.dll for it.

    If i compile on Vista, which i do, it'll not work on XP.
    so i would need to build on XP to have it work on both systems.

    i'll see what i can do. Maybe i'll do the release builds on a XP Virtual Machine.

    well, if i can build on XP, there's no need to have a second build.
    It's just a question of setting up a build environment now

    Ok, i tried now.
    Works perfect on XP but doesn't on Vista.

    It will take a while, before i find some time to debug the cod, so in the meantime, map your shares to a drive letter.

    Instead of building too versions (for xp and vista) you could solve the problem with a plugin-system.
    so you can extend functions via plugins for different operating systems ;)

    Well to have a plugin system just for handling this one different behaviour is a bit overhead.
    i'll try chasing down what happens on Vista, but haven't found time yet.

    I understand this will take some time, but just in support, I second the request to be able to access network drives.

    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
