While I don't have a Squeezebox yet, I've got my music collection organized and entered into Squeezebox Server and am using SqueezePlay beta to access it on my (Windows XP with Athlon 64 dual-core 5600+ and SATA hard drives) computer.
I recently downloaded the HDTracks 24/96 sampler. Great sound! But...when I try playing those FLACs, even with just SqueezePlay on my computer, I get the music stopping to rebuffer every minute or so. Note that this is not a matter of WiFi communication between the computer and some other device -- although I would assume that Squeezebox Server is sending the data through the network (between my computer and itself?), it's all being done either internally in my computer or, at worst, going to and from my router via Ethernet. I've checked my computer's performance, and, when these rebuffers occur, there is no spike in CPU usage (which remains at 20-30%). Everything seems to be running normally, except for the rebuffer problem. I should add that I can play 16/44 FLACs with no problem. Is there some sort of known problem with SqueezePlay that would cause this, or any workaround on my computer that would help? Otherwise, I'm assuming that, if SqueezePlay running internally has problems with 24/96 files, a Squeezebox Touch running off WiFi would have at least as severe a problem. Before I spend the money on a Touch, I'd like to know: am I basically condemned to 16/44 audio, or is there some reason to hope that 24/96 performance is attainable (without, say, having to spring for a new computer to do so)? -- the nightfly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the nightfly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42075 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83920 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
