Er, its a fine, limited SBServer.
Its not a full blown PC/mac running SBServer, its too small in RAM and
the CPU is too slow.

Its called TinySC for a reason. I've never seen any claim that it will
replace the real SqueezeBoxServer in all cases.

I expect that over time, the TinySC will grow and be more capable, but
its never going to be as capable as a old discarded desktop PC with real
memory and real CPU.

Its good as a replacement for your ancient Classic, and for folks with
limited requirements the bundled TinySC is fine.

For years, folks have bought SqueezeBoxen and then complained that they
had to run a server. So the TinySC solves the problem for a lot of
folks. But not for all.

If I were King, I might have released the Touch last year without
TinySC, because its a nice player. But I'm not King.
