I got a more energy-efficient (Vista) machine to use only as my music server.
So having gone through one install that didn't work due to Comodo firewall (had to be uninstalled) and one successful install on an XP machine, I decided to do Vista with SC 7.01. The install went flawlessly. The music scan of almost 19,000 FLAC files on a 750 GB USB drive went fine, taking about 15 mins. The re-construction of the Duet connection took about 5 minutes because I tried to connect to the new music source first without resetting the music player (Duet) first. After I did that the new music source (Vista machine and USB drive) fell into place. All in all, the install took about 40 mins. Another bit of added time was getting the new machine to network and to allow me to add music to the server via the network. Vista's permissions are new to me and took some time. I still contend the whole thing is pretty techy. I shudder to think what might happen to my sister if she tried to set one up. All in all, I'm a big fan of the Duet. YMMV. -- jimzak http://zzzone.net http://have-a-nice-day.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48750 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
