I'm not familiar with several of the devices/software you mentioned above but perhaps this rundown of how I use MUSO will help. I have MUSO installed on two computers, a large laptop located in my main listening room and a desktop computer located in my computer room. I also use the program Moose (http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove/) to control the various Squeezebox devices. Since I have a rather large music library the amount of memory required to run MUSO is also fairly large (650,000+k) and so I do not use MUSO on a regular basis on the laptop, however I do run and use MUSO regularly on my desktop computer which has plenty of available memory. Nonetheless I tend to use Moose to select and control the music and I use MUSO to view the extra scanned images, to read any information contained in the "info.txt" files and to view any additional information that shows up in MUSO's "now playing" window. The reason I use Moose rather than MUSO to select and control the music is that searching my music library database in Moose is much, much faster than searching in either MUSO or LMS (I don't actually use LMS, I am still using Squeezebox Server 7.5.5). There are times when I do use MUSO on my laptop, especially when I am listening to my Living room stereo for an extended time. I hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98196 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
