I had figured link capacity would be not likely, but am not sure I follow your reasoning about transfer vs. bit rate. Aren't the two separate because of the buffer. In other words, isn't (or shouldn't) 10 seconds of 192kbps music be transferred to SB[23] faster than it is played? If so, then wouldn't a little timer math give you true transfer speed and not playback speed?

This was actually another suggestion I was going to ask about. It might be a very nice diagnostic tool to separate out the server and its operations from just network data xfer to the device. It seems the vast majority of user problems with dropouts are due to network problems. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16832 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
