Hi, thank you for your prior responses. I have a followup question... Mnyb;598052 Wrote: > ...What Squeezeboxserver does then is transcode alac to flac on the fly > this will up your CPU load while playing depending on the spec of the > laptop you may notice (or not).
How much of a CPU load is this? Right now, if the laptop running SBS is running a virus scan, lots of websurfing, or other activities, the music stream does get interrupted. However, I cant tell if this is from processor overload or network bandwidth limitations. Right now, there are two SB's. I'd like to add 2 more. If the file format is mostly ALAC, implying server side transcoding, will this be an issue? I have a desktop tower that I repaired with an Athlon 64, running at 3.7 GHz with 2 GB RAM. Would this be a better (sufficient) choice?
