I've been using Squeezebox for a while now and have enthusiastically recommended it to others (some of whom have actually purchased it). I can't bring myself to recommend it to someone with the caveat that they will need another 70-80mb of memory and additional cpu capacity to support it...even when it's not in use.
I see the memory footprint getting increasingly bloated. Now we have an additional 7mb of memory to run some other process in the tray. I'm a software developer myself. We have an enterprise wide application that tracks all the assets and associated maintenance, accounting, etc for a VERY large institution. It does not use as much memory and other resources as Squeezebox. It seems like the software needs to be rearchitected so different plug-ins are only loaded as they are used and are unloaded when not in use (see Eclipse). Sorry to go negative, but I would like to see the software improved. -- baconrad _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
