Running Ubuntu 10.04, updated it via the Debian repository, which went
fine.

Operating system: Debian - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux
Perl Version: 5.10.1 - x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.32_02 (sqlite 3.7.5)

Gave me a bit of a scare my library was gone after restarting, but
noticed it was scanning my library. I figured the database change was
the cause, so went to fetch a snack.

Did a check to be sure it indexed all my music, scrolled through the
interface to see if it had all my artwork, and everything was fine.
Scanner seems a lot faster too:

Discovering files   (12388 of 12388)   Complete  00:00:12
Scanning new files   (11602 of 11602)   Complete  00:06:27
Discovering playlists   (1 of 1)   Complete  00:00:00
Pre-caching Artwork   (628 of 628)   Complete  00:00:30
The server has finished scanning your music collection.
Total Time: 00:07:09 (Monday, August 1, 2011 / 23.00.10)

This was a full rescan, used to take up to 30 minutes in the past. Also
noticed the web interface was more responsive and loaded faster. Adding
new music and rescanning takes less than a minute for me now, which
used to be up to 5 sometimes. My library contains only MP3 with
embedded artwork, ripped with EAC and some by Media Player, tagged with
MP3Tag (using MusicBrainz as source), volume leveled with mp3gain.

Server is running on an Intel Atom board by Zotac, 2 1TB WD Green
drives, 4 gig of RAM (If you have more than 1 GB of RAM, be sure to
check out the new option in the performance settings, seemed to make
things even faster for me).

It's serving a Transporter (wired), a Classic (wired) and a Boom
(wireless). The Boom has several alarms set which have worked
flawlessly.

Only issue I had was a problem I caused myself, I have several albums
by the same artist, of which I tagged one slightly different "John-Doe"
versus "John Doe", which now caused the artist to show up twice (Not
even sure if this was the case before). After correcting the tags, the
album showed up under the right artist, but it left the old artist in
place with no songs under it. Doing a full rescan fixed it.

Nice work, though I was happy running under MySQL, I can see where the
switch to SQLite can come in handy. And since it improved my scanning
time, I'm not complaining :)

Very curious about the Logitech Media Server developments though, have
been considering putting all my movies on the server too so I can use
the physical space they take up for something more useful again.
