martinr,
I am glad that the MS-3 is working out for the music library! 

Just did my MS-3 demo system with Windows 10 Anniversary update.  Will see how all the software works after the change.  So far only a few UI changes in look and no problems with the update process.

For anyone wanting just to play a music CD in Foobar2000, just go to File -> Open audio CD and there is a window that allows you to play the CD directly from the drive. 

This allows the internal DVD drive in the MS-3 to be used directly when folks just want to play single tracks or the entire CD.  The track list will come up and the user can play any or all of them from the display. 

This was used for CD playback at CAF2016 for folks bringing demo discs.  Foobar2000 buffers the track before playback.

Folks bringing USB drives, just had to plug them in to access the music files.

Building an HAL MS-3 Music Server for satfrat.

System built and software install started.  Will be watching for the latest Windows 10 update April 11 to make sure it is stable with the system before shipping.

Robin and I have been talking for a good while about the HAL Magical Music Machines.  He's going to be very happy with his purchase.

satfrat received his HAL MS-3 Music Server today.

Will be looking forward to his feedback once he has it integrated into his system.

satfrat has his MS-3 up and running with his hard drive library and DAC.  He is a happy customer from his comments.

Always good to hear from a customer happy with the system!

Nick just picked up his new HAL MS-3 Music Server moded with an eSATA port in the rear to use with external drives.  This replaces the internal DVD drive connection.

Just shipped back Phil A's MS-3 after it had stopped working.  Just had to reseat the mSATA drive and it is back up and running.

Did the latest Windows 10 1803 OS update and good to go back making music.

Thanks so much Rich for your wonderful support.

Phil A's MS-3 is back and running at his place making music.   :D

Got an MS-3 back that was not powering up for a customer.  After testing, the mSATA 60GB SSD drive was bad and preventing power up. 

Put in a new 120GB mSATA SSD and reloaded the OS and programs.  Everything now working correctly.  Will be heading back to its owner this week.

Keeping the music going!

The HAL MS-3 is back with its owner and making music again.   

Keep the music flowing!
