I have been in your same situation, but switching to the Roku is not the answer. As it was described to me, after I essentially pitched a fit here, the SLiMP3 has a very small buffer. Do a little searching and you'll find the Wiki page which compares it to the newer devices.
Given this relatively small buffer, what I have experienced with my SLiMP3 and the SlimServer is that any release post 6.02 impacts my playback such that I get the same cut outs that you get. Unlistenable. This is b/c with the small buffer there is little wiggle room from the server if you put any other load on it. And I have a dedicated G4 Sawtooth with a gig or RAM and 10.3.9. I would offer the caveat that many seem to be able to support running current Slimserver releases on the SLiMP3 without issues, but these folks mostly have either small libraries or have the time to dick around with settings all day to optimize playback. If you use the Mini for other tasks, you've also introduced additional hits in processing that help to drain the buffer. You have two reasonable options - drop back to an earlier version of Slimserver, losing some bells & whistles, or buy a new Squeezebox with a larger buffer. -- Bonesteel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bonesteel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20783 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
