>From the "Server & Network Health" page on the new Slimserver:
"Squeezebox2 uses a large buffer. This drains to 0 at the end of each track and then refills for the next track. You should only be concerned if the buffer fill is not high for the majority of the time a track is playing." Is it safe to assume SoftSqueeze 2.0 works the same way? --Mike mrfantasy Wrote: > It seems that SoftSqueeze, at least, is buffering a song at a time.
