But this is not how the feeding of a SB player from a server actually works. The suggestion that reducing the workload of a PC running as LMS server is equivalent to saying the following: If I can increase the efficiency of a fueling station on the freeway, my automobile will work better when I'm 50 miles down the road. Of course this makes no sense. Once I've filled up my fuel tank at the station, the station has no affect on my automobile when I'm down the road. As noted, the only issue one could have between a server and the SB player is if the server can't fill the buffer with new 0s/1s faster than the SB is emptying this buffer (i.e., playing the music). (This said, if one is using the SOUNDCARD in a PC to play music, then it is at least theoretically possible hat doing things to that PC can affect the playback of the music. But of course the entire engineering and design of the Squeezebox player is to remove the factor of the PC from the playback on the player.) *Location 1:* VortexBox (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100440 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
