PCs are meant to be on 24/7. The small amount of power used is not a real factor (this whole turning it off for the environment is hogwash). By powering it on and off, it probably uses more energy. Leave your PC on and use squeezebox server. Everything works better that way. -- eap ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71020 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
