Q:'How big is the music library?'

A: Well after losing quite a lot with the changing over of the HD 
between Windows and Linux, the size is now [fires up Firefox to have a
look] according to the web interface says 'Your music library contains
366 albums with 7335 songs by 181 artists.'

No playlists set-up. A bit pointless as it won't play music properly to
make them worthwhile.

Hardware: Intel P4PE mainboard, Intel P4 2.66Ghz, 512KRam, Seagate
7200/120Gb 8Mb Buffer with Linux Mandrive LE 10.2, Seagate 7200/200Gb
8Mb Buffer with the above music in MP3, OGG and FLAC (plus linux files
from wherever they decided to come from).

And that machine is connected by ethernet cable to the wireless router
which is a Belkin Pre-N MIMO. The SB2 is being used via wireless.
Security is WEP128. SB2 sees the network and connects before the
countdown reaches 14. It sees the SlimServer and has the correct IP
assigned to it. Hit connect and it connects showing the Squeezebox
Home.

Use the remote and the menus are very unresponsive. Select a tune to
play and it shows 'Now Playing' plus whatever's been selected but the
music is terrible with breakups. Sometimes the display shows 'Lost
contact with SlimServer', yet according to the SB2 settings page the
wireless strength is never below 75%.

I'm now really annoyed with the whole thing.

Guess it's 'do everything you can to piss Robbie off' time at the
moment, because I purchased a pump to make the shower into a power
shower. Piped it all up and it wouldn't work. Thinking it was because
the cold storage tank in the loft wasn't high enough to trigger the
switches in the pump, I raised it three feet to just under the roof.
And guess what; it still wouldn't work. Turns out the brand new pump
was faulty.

Robin if you want to ssh into the box go ahead. PM me with what details
you need
