Hi all,

I guess this has been up in other threads before, but I think this
issue is worth bringing up again. Are there any efforts to do an SS
Lite which suits a low power and low capability NAS? Some ideas:

* Possibility to do the music scan and browsing tree compilation on a
desktop and transfer the database file to the NAS.
* Precompute things to reduce efforts to support the player in
realtime. For example, Browse artists/albums/songs could be divided up
in groups (no of groups could be a configurable parameter, e.g. 20)
which means that the number of artists/albums/songs never exceeds 20 at
the outmost level of the browsing tree, and each level of the browsing
tree has at most 20 branches. 

I know that many people will respond that the software is intended for
PC period, but does it really have to be that way? Part PC and part low
power NAS could save the planet ...

/F
