What model of wireless adapter do you > have (e.g. what does lspci say)? Thanks for your help syburgh. My wireless adapter is a D-Link USB dongle. I'll post the exact details when I get home tonight. Is there a list of supported/unsupported hardware available for Ubuntu?

Yes, that was my next plan of attack. I was also going to monitor the wireless network traffic when downloading a large file to see if the connection could exceed 40KiB/s, as this will remove the SqueezeCenter/flac decoding element from the equation. Manhattan - I wish! Sunny old Cambridge for me... :) syburgh;346503 Wrote: > How quickly does the track begin after you initiate playback?

It's within acceptable limits (i.e. not significantly slower than playing the first track from a CD). I'm at work so can't test it right now, but I'd estimate no longer than 3-4 seconds for a CD quality (16/44.1) flac file. I'll report back with a more accurate figure later, as the tracks I've been using have some fade-in time (I've been using the same few test tracks for consistency). -- shadesbass ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shadesbass's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53152 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
