Bill, the c|net folks were pushing for a limit on how many players we can support. The real answer is very complex, and the answer you saw was oversimplified. We do not impose limits on the number of players. That said, there are practical limits--like no more than 254 devices on a network segment, for example--but there aren't limits within our architecture. Limits also come from the format used for playback, the speed of the server, etc. In any case, wired setups can support far more players than wireless. I told the c|net folks that I frequently have 6 to 8 players running on my wireless network with no problems, which is probably how the "limit" was determined. If you have a fast wired network, a decent server, and you're not transcoding (your music is in MP3, OGG, WMA, or FLAC format), you'll have no problem putting a Squeezebox in every room in your "Texas-sized" home. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44425 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
