Hi Michael, Unfortunately haven't had time to try it out yet, but I'm still unclear about what SlimCD does with playlists - ie. I've put together a great playlist, so I decide to save it - Slimserver will want to write a *.m3u file to my 'Playlist directory', which generally is in the same place as the music files. Now if this is on a read-only NTFS drive, that's going to be a problem, isn't it? But if the drive is FAT32, shouldn't be an issue, right? Or am I totally misunderstanding something? Does SlimCD keep playlist files in the ramdisk? Thanks for your help - can't express how great it is to have the experts available to answer questions! I'm currently negotiating to have a box built specifically to run SlimCD (with an external USB HD), so I'm just trying to make sure I don't miss any considerations. -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22623 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
