Sean you must not be married :) My wife sees $100 vs. $300 and the conversation ends. Period. If I'm going to spend $300 per room, I'm going to look much closer at the Sonos because their remote is way better and wife friendly. Their 40k song limit + some other things hold me back. Eventually I'm looking at 4+ devices, and that's when the whole $100 vs. $300 ($250 when you buy two) comes into play.
I set up slimserver to auto transcode to 256kbps and its helping... I think its the 802.11b + little buffer working against me here... My server's got the spare cycles, so I'm good there... Frankly I dislike slimserver too. As a application developer I feel like I'm playing some some high school project whenever I have to do something in it. It's just not a good UI. I'd prefer to not have to run a server software, but I understand why it's there (to manage large libraries). Thanks for responding. Luckily I didn't spend a lot on the Roku and can probably make my money back on ol' ebay if I need to. seanadams Wrote: > the problem is also that the m500 is using a small buffer and has a > questionable TCP/IP stack.
