When I started with squeezeboxes I used a woefully underpowered readynas duo. It worked, but searching and browsing was painfully slow. I moved on to running LMS/SbS/SC on an old laptop and it was night and day difference. I've since moved to a headless vortexbox appliance as LMS server. With 70,000+ files, I find searching and browsing to be instantaneous. I am typically playing something (my own music or internet radio) 12 hours a day, longer on the weekend. I have no buffering/crashes/slowdowns, etc. Bottom line, an underpowered computer is not a good idea for optimum LMS/SB performance. I'm sure SONOS is fine for many (most?) people. It doesn't work for me due to the size of my library, my tagging system (where I may have multiple ARTIST tags or GENRE tags), and SONOS lacks many (most) of the random playlist functions I've come to rely on (erland's dynamic playlists, the new SmartMix plugin, etc.). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97440 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
