Which post above is that in response to? Would you be running Squeezebox Server on a computer on your network, or are you thinking of using the server that runs on the Touch? Rebooting a computer/NAS system running Squeezebox Server is no problem. The library is not rescanned when the system starts. Scanning the library is a manual thing. You launch a rescan when you add new music or make changes to existing files. However, if you run the internal server on the Touch, this is not the case. It will rescan the attached library when it starts up, and it's best to wait until this scan finishes before using the system, as it swamps the Touch completely while scanning. That's just one of the many negatives about running the internal server, and why I don't recommend using it unless you absolutely have to. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88215 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
