The process was not very smooth but it could have been worse. My server is also my internet radio station so the transition needed to be nearly seamless unless I want to drop all of my listeners.
So I needed to set up LMS with a RAM disk and fixed IP and a shoutcast server with a suitable playlist. Copying the cache from the ram disk of old computer to new computer preserved some things but I still needed to rescan completely...twice for some reason unknown, and I had to recreate a lot of preferences and settings including all my favorites. The new Haswell computer scanned more quickly but I found overall it's performance to be subpar to the i5 laptop that I was replacing. So I put the old unit back in service and attempted to clone the hard drive to a SSD and install that inside the new laptop; of course, it was not having that and refused to boot, necessitating replacement of the old HD. I checked online to see what success others have had and found a rather laborious way of getting the SSD to boot which I will save for my project for next weekend. For now, I'm good with a stable functioning system. http://zzzone.net http://have-a-nice-day.org http://www.last.fm/user/zzzoneDOTnet http://somethingsomethingsomething.net dBpoweramp Cisco E4200 SBS 7.8 - i7 laptop - Win 7 64bit 3 Booms, 2 Radio, 1 Touch, 1 iPod Touch w/digital dock 2 controllers, various tablets/phones Various apps including iPeng, Logitech Android, etc. 'Library' (http://zzzone.net/photo/2009/music1.jpg): 231,000+ FLAC/MP3 files - 12 TB HD Onkyo TX-NR818, KEF Q300/Q200/iQ30, Outlaw LFM-1 Plus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101007 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
