I have to tell you, I was delighted at how quickly I was able to switch from SS6.5.4 to SC7.0. I run XUbuntu and just used Synaptic Package manager, which de-installed SS and installed SC7. It brought in my 19k tracks from MusicIP in about 45 minutes, and while it was doing that I upgraded SoftSqueeze on the laptop and got the scrobbler and MusicIP Mixer settings done. Then I installed the magnificent WeatherTime plugin like I had on SS and restarted (which finally enabled mixer-specific MusicIP, that was the one snag because I didn't know I had to restart, and had to figure out how to restart). Total time, 60 minutes. With that said, you certainly don't have anything to lose by putting SqueezeCenter on another PC first, except that you're going to do everything twice when you put it on your first PC anyway ;) I'm delighted so far with the new stuff, it definitely solved a couple of usability problems I had and the couple of quibbles I still have I think can be easily achieved in future updates.
