Re: [slim] Browsing music folder: SB3 doesn't show tracks in some dirs
pipetman;323171 Wrote: I've started ripping my CD collection to flac a while ago and have gathered a fair amount of files by now. I have them all neatly organized in folders, so I select my music on the SB via browsing the music folder (and not via tags, as album, artist etc). Much to my dismay, I have noticed, that in many cases the SB doesn't display tracks within a directory. Usually, by pressing the right arrow on the SB remote, I can move down the directory tree and finally end up at the track level. In the cases above, I get stuck at the parent directory level and instead of tracks, the SB displays TITLE: (and then the directory title). I have checked the path length and it is always below 255 characters (so that shouldn't be an issue). What's causing this? How can I fix this?

If I understand you correctly, your Duet is hardwired into your network via a router of some sort?

Port 9000 is just for the web interface and when using players that connect to stream.mp3 (i.e. non Squeeze players like WinAmp etc.).

[slim] Hard drive failures
Hi, Very happy SB3 times 3 user here. I have been running for about 3 years with a Linux shoe-box server and multiple usb drives with over a terabyte of storage. I use Clarkconnect linux. About 3,000 albums in mostly FLAC format. This weekend I suffered my third hard drive failure in three years. I've been using the Western Digital Essential usb external drives of late for ease of swapping out when they fail which seems to be about once year! I do have a backup to DVDs (about 100 per drive) which I am already restoring to a new drive. Still, this is time consuming and frustrating. I know many people have different strategies for dealing with this but for those of us with large collections it is very troubling. As long as we have to depend on spinning disks it would seem we are doomed to this sort of thing. I hold out hope that solid state storage may one day bring a new level of reliability to this situation but it may be a ways off in terms of cost effectiveness, etc. At least drives are cheap. I bought a 500 gb external replacement drive for $89 last night. I note that I can extend the warranty from 1 to 3 years for $25 through Western Digital. Usually, I don't pay for such things but I wonder if it would be prudent given my experience?

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!
Thank you all for the encouragements and cautions. I will proceed as suggested. I agree that backup is crucial. This is part of the reason I'm moving everything to a raid server AND keeping my backups. Let me add that I think it a good idea (just like with real work)to keep the backups off site. With the weird weather much of the world is having, I'd hate to lose my house and my music at the same time. I had significant earthquake damage in '89 when I still lived in SF.

I have the occassional one fail at work, but we're talking 200+ PC's over an 8 year period. I would never say never :-), but it isn't often. That said, I never rely on the USB drives that come with a hard drive installed. I think that's asking for failures and if they do you you have to send them off to retrieve the data. I prefer the drive enclosures that you can install your own drive in or the multi bay units that you install your own drives in. BTW, so far out of the 6 or so hard drive failures I've had, sticking the drive in the freezer and then running it long enough to get the data off has worked on all but one so far. I did have to go so far as to freeze one in a block of ice, but I did get eveything off of it. One of the coolest devices to date is the BlacX. It come in USB, FireWire and eSATA. It's reasonable, easy to use and you don't need a holder for your drive.

I've worked around PCs for 20 years now (man...I'm getting OLD!) and have experienced 3 drive failures that I can remember. Those are pretty good odds considering the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of machines worked with. At home, I've had a drive start making strange noises. I replaced it immediately rather than risking things. Though the odds may be slim, it is a VERY painful experience, especially if you don't do regular backups. And if you do, restoring the data can be painful. The way to look at it is that like taxes and death, hard disk failures are inevitable. The drive may last 10-15 years, but one day it will not work.
