I have a 2TB NV with 1GB of RAM and am experiencing a lot of drop-outs and stutter when using the web interface to control my slim devices (1) original Slimp3 and (1) Sqeezebox. I need to be able to control the slim devices via the WEB as well as play music on my computers because I use a combination of Macs/XP/Vista/FC5 to play/manage my music.
I notice the drop-outs mostly on the Slimp3 box, but the Squeeze box is not unaffected either. I use Moose on my Windows boxen, but on the others I use the web-interface. As soon as I start using it, the slim devices start dropping out music. I am concerned because I am thinking of investing on a Transporter for my media room and I smply cannot tolerate the drop outs. I am also going to convert all my vinyl albums (+1200) and put them on the server as well, and if things don't scale to +25k songs, I will have to look at a different solution. Questions: 1. Is the Slimp3 cache simply not large enough? 2. Would the Transporter together with a Squeezebox (1 and 2) put more strain on the already taxed server 3. I will only run FLAC on the Transporter. I would liek to start some healthy discussions aroudn the topics mentioned above.
