1. with 95,094 tracks, from scratch it takes about an hour to scan library (about the same as LMS for me). At this point the music is playable. But after this, it does an additional scan in the background to create its own R128 (replaygain) values (both album and track) and generate wave form info. It takes about 24 hours to complete this task in the background. 2. hmmm, not sure. The database it creates on my computer (which can be backed up and restored) is 3.46GB (this doesn't include my music files, only the roon database) 3. equally responsive as LMS on both a i7 windows machine and an i7 linux machine. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win8(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106933 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
