it not needed it's a very simple server all it does is LMS the server OS has it own web based admin interface it is basically made to not have a desktop or monitor it is very easy to admin I basically do nothing with it, I upgrade LMS/SBS the OS minds it own business automatically I just installed it there is rarely anything to adjust ever. The players boot it via WOL so I don't need to touch it's power button. I don't want a GUI overhead virtuals on that 1,2ghZ single core via cpu is a no go . The whole point with a headless server is that it is just that, a square small box sitting in a corner/basement/closet it appaers as share/fileserver on my desktop thats how I add music to it . Your sugestion is extremely messy for my needs consider that some user actually wants a distributed solution . I abonded the pc centric way of playing music because i don't like it . SBS/LMS makes my files available to me on my players so it works for me . They way I organize my music does not require any folder browsing at all. all my music is already on the server, I don't need to constantly manage music only when I add new stuff and that is a quick operation imo . It takes time the rip and tag or download and tag and a couple of minutes extra to add it to the server so what ? guess which part that uses least time and effort ;) Downloading ripping and tagging is done on my desktop computer, I used to run the server on that too but is to noisy and power hungry ( I can hear it from my listening room ) Then i simply put them on my network share who is the music folder LMS uses , browse to the new album via a player and listen to it or (start a new and changed scan if it's a whole bunch of albums I add) And as I said the server is a network share so tag adjusting or some file maintance can be done from my destop without much fuzz . I may clarify my setup I got one Linux desktop and one barebones Linux server this server runs LMS . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
