Is there a good reason why you're still running version 7.7.5? That's a very old version now. Update your system to LMS 7.7.9 and you'll see some significant performance increases, as well as many usability enhancements and quite a few bug fixes. It's possible to keep your hard drive spinning just by scheduling a little batch file that writes a file to the drive, waits a couple seconds, then deletes it. I'm not sure that simply doing a directory listing on the drive will keep it alive, since directory listings are cached by the operating system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105787 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
