External Hard Drive Format
I just ordered a Bluesound Node. I would like to connect an external USB drive to this Bluesound Node in order to play the FLAC music files.
1) I believe the USB drive needs to be in NTFS OR FAT32 format
2) Unfortunately, I do not own any Windows computer or laptop to format the same USB drive in NTFS or FAT32. I use a Mac and all my files are stored here.
Any suggestions?
I believe, I can also connect it over Network share (Mac to Bluesound). If I do so, will there be any degradation in quality? I was thinking that having the source file plugged into Bluesound will be the best option in terms of delivering file quality.

I recommend that you format the external drive to Linux ext 4

Or Seppi, make good use of an obsolete laptop/desktop and install your preferred flavour of Linux.
All free, no extra cost needed.

Sure, but if he can get someone else to format the drive to Ext4, then he can simply plug it in to the back of his bluesound device and use the drive as a NAS on his home network and it will be accessible from his Mac or pc
