Re: [Savonet-users] Recommendation on remote files connection speed

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 06:43:40 -0700

My goal is to run several streams of electronic music, all of which I hope will have lengthy playlists. In addition, I will include the music of of community members. So I would need tens of GBs to start, potentially hundreds later. I just can't afford that, so I need to either use remote files or seek sponsorship (both of which I'm working on).

Caching the files is the ideal way to handle this. I do it myself. How much storage space do you think you need? Generally speaking extra storage is pretty affordable.

Hi Romain,

I actually thought of that, but what I really want to do is create
streams by genre. I think a good way to deal with slow downloads might
be to have a fallback playlist instead of a fallback single, where the
fallback playlist is a small collection of local (and thus infallible)
files.

I could do a fallback playlist, right? How do I do that?

Thanks,
Damien
