The first two components provide network infrastructure.

This device is the connection point for all other components on
the network, allowing them to communicate with each other. Also
required for accessing SHOUTcast Internet radio and obtaining
album information.
2.

Plugs into the router thereby allowing wireless components to
communicate with wired ones.
A PC/laptop is required for system installation.
3.

and configuration of the Sneaky Music DS system. The same, or
another computer, may be used after setup to add new music to
the NAS. In order for the computer to communicate with the Sneaky
