In my experience, Softsqueeze is a bad performer all around. It does its job of simulating the functionality of the hardware, but the performance is dramatically worse. The hardware will not have these problems. I used it to see how the devices would navigate my collection, that's all.
And now a question--for those who both do and do not have sync problems, what format/bitrates/network medium do you typically use? I'm wondering if lower network traffic, and/or codecs that are decoded on the Squeezebox improve things just as much as using wired over wireless? The original question was posed about WMA--and the bitrate of WMA is irrelevant because it's first decoded at the server and is sent to the players as raw PCM, using the highest possible bandwidth! After server-trancoded codecs, FLAC is the second largest bandwidth hog depending a bit on compression, and the lightest codecs are MP3 and Ogg, depending on bitrate. So, is it possible that sync problems are related to codec choice? I really don't know, but it seems to make some sense to me. Are people who don't have sync problems over wireless using MP3 and Ogg? Are people who do using WMA and MPC? Where does FLAC fit in? Inquiring minds want to know... -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29158 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
