Thanks for all the advice! Sounds like a standard linux server would be able to handle 10-20 streams of music simultaneously without serious issues. I'm glad to hear that Slimserver can be configured to handle larger loads like this. I will have to talk with our computer networking department to decide whether a single server would be best for our application.
Our clinic is in Wisconsin so we can't use the "health practice" license from the UK. Are there any similar license fees that can be paid in the U.S. to grant performance rights for music files produced from CDs? Does anyone know for sure whether there would be copyright or performance right issues involved in playing files from employee CD collections in multiple rooms in a workplace setting? It is certainly different than using the original CDs which can only be played in one place at a time. Perhaps I would need to run this past our clinic legal department to ask their advice on the issue. Sounds like Slimserver is not presently able to configure multiple user libraries, so it would be difficult to limit file usage in any easy fashion. Our clinic tends to be very conservative on any issues like this, so I hope it is not something that torpedoes the whole idea. -- Thomas Hitchcock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Hitchcock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1759 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18903 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
