Of that list #1 is definitely worth trying. What you're coming up against is that teh ReadyNAS Duo is hopelessly underpowered for running Squeezecenter at a performance level expected by most people. *Bottom line, the CPU in that NAS is too slow. End of story.* You can tweak and tune, but in the end you are polishing a turd. I've run SC on a slow NAS in the past and it's no fun. My rule of thumb is that is if take your server/NAS more than 1hr to do a full scan of your music library, your server/NAS is not up to the job. This is not because the scan itself is a major issue, it's because the scan is a great indicator as to the size of your library vs. the CPU speed of your server. If either push your server over a 1hr full scan it's time for a new server. I run a QNAP TS-239 which is really the minimim I'd recommend once you have more than a few thousand tracks. Once over 30k or so even an Atom is possible too slow and a C2D should be considered. -- shake-the-disease Players: Boom, SB1 Server: QNAP TS-239 w/ SSOTS 3.18, SS 7.3.3, MusicIP 1.8, 7k+ tracks (formally running SS 6.3.1 on a QNAP TS-101) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shake-the-disease's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66331 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
