Hi,I'm using the USB port with an external DAC. (Node N130)

How could I use a HD for storage (or a simple USB pendrive) if this port is already busy?

  Quite a few domestic routers have a USB port and allow a drive / memory stick to be shared. Have a look at your router / it’s manual to see if you have such an option.

  You normally have to configure the router to turn on sharing and adding users / adding a user to the share as well but this should be documented but this link makes it sound very simple…

  Dear Seppi,

  I connected an HD to the router and shared it.

  I can reach it through a PC but Node doesn't find it.

  Just type in the path manually, probably best to use the IP address rather than the name. Mine for example is \\192.168.178.10\music
