considered a “server” product.

two FireBalls.
Only MP3 and FLAC audio files can be streamed to clients. You can’t stream CDs from the internal drive or from external changers.
Playlists that contain only MP3s/FLAC files will be available on the clients.
Playlists that contain MP3s/FLAC files and non-streamable tracks will NOT appear on the clients.
You may have an unlimited number of clients on the network, but you can only stream to 4 clients simultaneously.
Movies can not be streamed.
Internet Radio can not be streamed (but it is available on most standalone products).
