Hi, I am considering purchasing a number of Squeezeboxes for around the home and as an experiment to see how well it works I've ripped the entire collection to WMA lossless, downloaded Slimserver 6.2 and a copy of Softsqueeze. I'm running the SS on a 2.2ghz P4 with 1GB RAM. When I play any track from my library from our second machine (which is more powerful than the server machine) using WMP10, playback is very near instantaneous as is any track browsing by album, artist, genre etc.
However, when I now try to use the Slimserver coupled with Softsqueeze 2.0 and the web interface (again from the second machine) , its a differnent kettle of fish entirely. When I click on a track or album to play it, Softsqueeze takes around 25 seconds before it actually starts playing. The same delay also occurs when I skip to the next track in the playlist and when I do any sort of search using the Softsqueeze software remote. My question is, does this sound like I have a problem or is this behaviour just something that one should expect from using Softsqueeze? Will I see a vast improvement (the same sort of instantaneous playback I get with WMP10) once I swap Softsqueeze for a Squeezebox? regards Luga -- luga00 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
