Just a quick follow-up: 1. Thanks to everyone for their assistance. Last night I got Slimserver (version 6.0.2) working with MySQL on a FreeBSD system. (Next task is to upgrade to 6.2.1).
2. The response of the web interface seemed slightly faster, but it was difficult to be certain. I think the thing which slows down the web interface the most is the need to serve out all those little graphics. My guess is that if there was a text-only version, it would be about an order of magnitude faster. But I rarely use the web interface anyway, so it's no big deal to me. 3. The response of the Squeezebox itself using the remote is *much* faster. For example, suppose I do a "Search Artists" and pick a single letter. Under SQLite, there would be a noticable delay of perhaps a second before the first in the list appeared. Using MySQL, the list appears pretty much the instant you press the right-arrow button. (The music library has about 1100 albums). Thinking about it rationally, saving a second or two here and there is not important, but subjectively it just feels so much more satisfying. So in conclusion, I give the thumbs up to MySQL. At times when it was giving me grief I thought that perhaps it was too much bother, but now it's all working I'd say the effort was definitely worth it. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20627 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
