Hi, I'm a new squeezebox owner and i'm very happy with the unit so far-- most of the time. the main (only?) problem for me is the excruciating lag time when browsing!
i have a large music collection (300GB+ of MP3s @192 kbps) on an external firewire drive. i am using a G5 iMac, 2GHz with a wireless squeezebox 2. the squeezebox is about 20 feet away from the iMac and another 20 feet away (squeezebox has between 50-60% signal). i am using the current public beta, version 6.1b1 if i want to browse to, for example: browse music/browse genre/reggae/various artists/100% dynamite/Night and Day - Toots & the Maytals i get as far as: browse music/browse genre/reggae/various artists then hit the right arrow to view the list of various artists albums, it hangs for up to a minute. and i only have 16 various artists albums in "reggae." as a side note, the lag time is the same if i execute the same functions from the slim server web interface. this is just an example, this type of lag happens a lot under different circumstances. can anyone tell me if this is typical? i get the sense that there are lag issues that Slim is dealing with still but this seems unbearable sometimes. thanks in advance for any help!! -- oldsmobuick _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
