latest 7.6 beta and 7.5.3 beta has a fix where it detects a "bad" database and optimizes it . This was the outcome of the one of the bugs lately where it was discovered thats such optimizing was not always done after a scan (which is necessary for performance). Also it is fixed to make sure that database optimizing ( MySQL optimize or SQlite analyze) always takes place after a scan.
This makes dB queries like 10 to 100 times faster if your dB was in a really bad shape :-/ like mine was after 5-6 months without this dB maintenance. Also 7.6 uses SQlite for database and 7.5.x uses MySQL SQlite is said to be faster on smaller ( slower) computers, great for low power servers . MySQL is regarded as "better" by some people that that knows such stuff (not me, I know 0 about databases) but in Squeezebox context if you followed the the forum the latest years. MySQl has the ability to provoke many AV softwares and and other security software to do things they should not. This is not Logitechs or MySQL fault that many AV softwares thinks that one of the worlds most used dB application is a virus ? But it always end up at Logitechs helpdesk as failed scans, so SQlite it is for 7.6 . But to pass this database bug upgrading to latest 7.5.3 can be enough. 7.6 can be better for some but as it is the most unstable beta you can enjoy all the latest functions but also new bugs. And it can seize to function completely. 7.6 seems to be most buggy on windows lately. 7.6 is surprisingly stable on my small linux server ? And upgrades is done often . It's no point staying on an old 7.6 somewhere so you have to upgrade quit often. And you will realize that there are often Touch Controller and radio upgrades pushed out if you are running 7.6 several times every week. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
