> If your goal is to keep CPU activity to a minimum, Why is that your goal? Slimserver's CPU requirements are next-to-nothing when it's not rescanning. Disk performance is much more of a problem, especially if it is not the only process requiring disk access on the host.

I really don't. The whole point of the SB is to be a slim device, so as much of its behaviour as possible can be changed in the open source server software. Much less prone to bugs and locked-up units that way. I DO think however that handling of transcoded streams should be changed so that they allow seeking. > For the average user who wants lossless, the choice is WMA or M4P. Where'd you get that from ??? Anyway, I suggest upgrading your server, keeping a FLACed mirror tree or, best of all, stop using iTunes. C.
