I can't agree more. If you're complaining about those up and down arrows and the lack of drag and drop, you must be nutz ;-) I use SlimServer 6.5.1 (Fishbone skin) on a Windows XP PC (AMD 64 3000+ with 1 GB of ram) and SS is slow. Even if there's nothing else worth mentionning running. For example, when I rate a song, it takes about 2 to 3 seconds for the change to take place. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32104 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
