Yes it is the microserver has slots for 4 internal drives and one could
cram one extra in the 5,25 bay too .
But anyway the server may be slow scanning and slow to use while
scanning , but it should not really be
Also notice that using music folder is no longer possible while
scanning (it works normally after the scan is finished ).
cue sheets does not work in music folder browsing either fyi.

Could you please comfirm this is your setup.
You have LMS running on a Macbook Pro, your music files are located on a
NAS, you access the NAS over your home network, and your Mac Mini has
nothing to do with Squeezebox or LMS.
I think if you had
If you use music folder instead of artist ,album ,genre then acess
over network would slow down browsing as you actually are browsing the
folders and files and are not using the scanned database.

It can be either. An old computer can be converter to Vortexbox or you

Exactly , scanning files over the network is slow even if the server is

Almost no NAS comes close to 1g tranfer speed more often less than 100mb
in practice, and even if they did it still much slover than SATA or
actually even USB can be faster .

Of course I can always buy one more

No that's the other mystery, why is you server slow it should not be ?
Is not PureMusic one of those apps that tweaks the whole OS basically ,

Hmm. Then something else is wrong. I can do a complete clear and rescan
of about 70,000 files in an hour. And new and changed scan in a couple
of minutes. Mostly FLAC and most
Are the files locally on the server or spread out on remote shares ?
As usual music folder is much slower than artist or album and it is
slow to respond while scanning .

1. Where is the best source for a comprehensive list of support

tried the Wiki and the info seems pretty thin and not updated.
For plugins, the only updated list is the Plugins tab in LMS Settings
