(a) I think the first point is that you could easily accomplish all of that with a regular pc/Mac/linux box instead of a ReadyNAS, at comparable cost. The difference is that the pc/Mac/linux box will run SC much faster.
(b) Re building playlists, are you still doing shuffle with 7500 tracks? Have you tried the built-in Random Mix feature, selecting only those genres you want to include in the mix (ie, not your kids' music)? (c) But since you already have the ReadyNAS, you probably don't want to shell out more for a pc/Mac/etc. In that case, stop torturing yourself by using the web ui, and get used to using the remote. Both the IR remote and the SB Controller are much snappier than the web ui, especially on underpowered NAS boxes. If you must go with the web ui, see if you can install the flash-based slimfx skin on your ReadyNAS -- it is considerably quicker than other skins, and has better drag-and-drop support for building playlists. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45261 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
