Thanks, I'll try that next time I run it. I was trying to get there by choosing one network (from many) on the RHS. *Now* I remember that the help examples talk about testing signal strength by limiting the display to your network... now I know why! > From what I've seen on the forum, 50-60 is borderline...try tweaking > router or antenna position. Tonight, it got as far as the Infernal Dance in the Firebird Suite before barfing. I found that even the 1000kbps network test was hitting significant dropouts (average 96%, but got much lower on occasion and even cut off completely at one point). I switched to channel 6, and twiddled with the router aerials (one vertical, one horizontal). Signal strength on the SB3 went up to 60-70, and it's been fine ever since (touch Formica), all the way from Bach to Ossian (though the latter, I'm shocked to discover, is still largely 96kb wma... and the sources are on loan to folky friends at the moment.) Maybe a little early to be popping the champagne corks (but hey, it's Friday!) This evening, NetStumbler showed a plethora of nearby networks on channels 1, 6 and 11, which pretty much covers the lot, I guess; but all were intermittent, and none got an SNR above the low 20s. Mine, and what appears to be its b*stard sibling (or doppelganger) 000000 were hitting 73. Incidentally, whilst serving WMA, Network Health is reporting that streaming is Inactive, and Buffer Fullness shows *nothing at all*. Maybe the files are just too small to show up! :-) Right now, I'm hearing glitches that are almost certainly ripping errors (heavens knows what I used originally), so these are ripe for a flacking... Of course, if I'm more or less happy listening to 96kbps wma, why am I worrying about problems with FLAC delivery?! But resorting to bitrate limiting would've smelt of failure. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
