I can't help but feel that there is some outside variable that is causing your problems. My setup is very similar to yours, if not slightly worse: 13,000 tracks; XP 2.8ghz 4GB which also serves as a Media Center which may be serving video or recording TV on up to three tuners while serving SqueezeCenter to up to 7 Squeezebox devices (depending on season); wi-fi setup mainly (which should be considerably worse than wired networking).
I have never run into it, but antivirus is a common cause of problems apparently. Have you reviewed those threads to determine if this may be affecting you? Network problems also account for a large proportion of frustrations, and i have been victim to this in the past, although due to wi-fi issues. Elaborating on your network environment may help others troubleshoot your problems. As far as the web interface is concerned, this could be a debate that lasts until the end of time. As I myself never control my music from the computer which hosts SC, the web interface seems like the natural choice and I have no complaints with it; use of a local application via remote desktop would not make sense for me. I find adding, choosing, and changing tracks to be a virtually instantaneous event, although I primarily browse tracks by folder and not tags, and so do not need to rescan with each addition. Album art is a tricky affair that requires a lot of work to get right, but this is the nature of the mp3 downloading/ripping world if you do not use the itunes store primarily. Anyhow these are some thoughts that might lead to a solution. Or might not. Again, networking and system environment variables seem to represent the vast majority of problems that I have encountered personally or read about here. These units would not be nearly so popular if your experience is representative of the average user. -- ds2021 All your bass are belong to us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ds2021's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10078 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
