Today I downloaded 7.9.0 - 1399649268 @ Sat May 10 and installed it onto my Win 7 i3-4130 workstation and the recently replaced (by VortexBox) Win 7 AMD E-350 1.6GHz HTPC. The music libraries were synced with the VortexBox, giving me 3 systems of varying power with their own local disks containing the same music library. The two Win boxes have 2 x Samsung 2TB drives, the VortexBox has a 4TB Seagate drive for music. All have SSD drives for the system disk. The Win boxes have had the RAMDisk removed.
I ran clear and rescans on each system and then a bunch of lookups - New Music, search artist for "the girl", album browse and artist browse. The AMD E-350 system performs so well I need not have gone and replaced it by the VortexBoxes. New Music is almost instant, browse by Artists can take a second or two after selecting a letter and the artist picture is a bit slow but not unacceptable. Browse by Albums takes 2 to 3 seconds per change of letter for the albums to appear, but again, not unacceptable. The i3 powered workstation is a bit quicker but not twice as fast. The VortexBox running 7.8 with the Tweak DB plugin installed and set to 500 is the fastest. Clear & rescan times show the great improvements that have been made with LMS 7.9 The differences between systems were as expected with the exception of MusicIP Import and Artist Picture lookup - the Artist Picture lookup shows there is something seriously wrong with either my setup or the way this function works in Windows. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Daisy.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15906| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wirrunna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101469 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
