Hi Ken, > Although I do have to wonder why it takes 3-10 hours before any > glitch appears.
That might point to the ReplayGain analysis as the cause. To save the machine becoming too loaded down after a large file ingest, the analysis is performed in batches. One way to test this would be to ingest WAV files instead of MP3 or Ogg Vorbis. In Airtime 2.2.0 there is no support for ReplayGain for WAV files, so you would not get those particular CPU bursts. > What's likely to happen next year is that the "underpowered" server > will stay in place as a stream receiver-- or get replaced with > something even lighter weight like a Linksys USB router, NSLUG, > Beagleboard/Raspbery, etc--, We've been testing this device in our Berlin office: http://www.fritzbox.eu/en/products/FRITZWLAN_Repeater_NG/index.php It doesn't seem to be available in a 110v version though.

That's a viable option if the Internet connection to the transmitter site is robust.

But it's very nice that Airtime has that much modularity.

Please let us know if you find out anything more. > Thanks again for all the help! You're welcome!
