I have a gigabit wired network and copying/scanning across the network takes way longer (not sure but 10 or 20 times longer wouldn't surprise me). I have a backup USB drive that I attach to my laptop and let LMS on the laptop scan that USB drive. I use squeezeplay too for a lot of control activity. I have squeezeplay running on my windows laptop, but it is CONTROLLING the LMS running on my linux server. Within Squeezeplay menu on the laptop, I choose the LMS library I want, which in my case is the library on the *other* server (not the laptop). Just install squeezeplay on the laptop then choose the LMS library on your DESKTOP. Then squeezeplay on laptop will be controlling your players and your desktop LMS. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103802 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
