Instead of asking the original poster what browser he is using and all that, I agree with a lot of the points he made. I have tried many combinations of PCs, browsers and Windoze versions, and the performance with a large database is mostly quite slow and inconsistent.
I do have a large music library and most other GUI software including the ubiquitous iTunes does glide thru the same collection with considerable ease. I can not understand how in this day and age that a database of 20-30000 records could suck so much performance. And in regards difficulty to maintain, web interface does have its advantage, but maintaining a music library is not one of them. With GUI base library manager, I can sort, tag, add and delete with instantaneous ease, and I dont have to rescan the whole library after every single change. And after all these years of using Squeeze, I still do not know a one step way of adding or deleting a single album without rescanning. I found a roundabout way of adding a folder via the add radio URL. But what about deleting tracks? I recently found a solution which is to use OrangeCD and bypass the Squeezecenter interface altogether. But it would be very nice if there is an integrated solution. I know many do not agree, but tagging/Library Management and Squeeze Server belong together. The tie in of iTunes/iPod sort of proves that concept. I bought an Airport Express and was this close to moving to that platform altogether. The purchase of the nice sounding Transporter saved me from moving. -- agentsmith System 1: Transporter, Naim 202/200/Hicap/NAPSC, Harbeth Monitor 30 System 2: SB2 connected via TOSLINK to a Meridian F80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755
