Using Softsqueeze to play is a LOT more demanding on your laptop than just using Slimserver to stream out FLAC files. When my server (an aging desktop) is especially busy, I do sometimes get dropouts on Softsqueeze: I'm fairly sure I've never managed to stop a FLAC stream to an SB. But then, you'll find out for yourself soon, so why worry? :) Ceejay -- ceejay ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ceejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19302 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
