I am a totally fanatic user of Apple computers, have several at work and at home. They are just great. I will never touch a PC again. I do not experience any kind of software problems, except with the Slimserver who makes the life of a music lover sometimes painful. Bugs, trouble. Not always a quiet path. And a new release of the server solves problems and creates 5 new ones!
I do not know what MusicIP is and does, no comment possible. I work exclusively with ITunes, a great and convenient tool, appropriate for managing comprehensive libraries with thousands of artists/tracks/CDs. My concern with your post is about the processing power of your computer vs the size of your music library. - processor type...G3...G4? - RAM size? - number of tracks to manage? The slimserver requires some processing power to handle the management of the library, and I doubt that an old processor (eg G3) will handle the workload. Have you considered to purchase a cheap Mac mini or a second hand IMAC? the mac mini makes a great multimedia file server and you can dedicate it to the management of your music. -- patrickw59 Patrick ------------------------ Squeezebox 2, Slimserver 6.5.2 or higher WiFi connection to IMAC-G5, OS X.4.9 or higher ADSL connection 7 Mbps. 40000 songs from my CD collection and streaming lots of European radio stations. ...at least when the device works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ patrickw59's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3747 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37278 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
