That might sound strange, but I have 2 Computers in then house that I
like to work on:
- Vista Ultimate 64 bit

the Squeezeboxes automatically seek out the secondary server when the
first one is switched off.
They can't switch automatically, but it's only a few remote presses to
get from one to the other.

Indeed, I currently have 4 SC servers running in my house.
The controller or player will never switch between them without a push,
even if the active one is shut down.

Why not just leave the squeezecenter running on the Ubuntu machine, and

Indeed, that is what I think I will end up doing. The Ubuntu machine
runs on a fast and power-efficient Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 which does
some neat power

Doesn't the ServerSwitcher plugin speed up the process a bit? Not sure
how up to date the current plugin is, however.

Seems like a good solution.

What version of SC are you using? I believe that ServerSwitcher has not
been updated fro SC7 and is Linux only.
You may want to try SC 7.1. It has a feature (which I haven't tried)
which discovers other SC instances on your network and allows you to
switch players between them.

It doesn't switch automatically. And it's not up to date at all. But it
