[slim] Fault Tolerance of Slim server
Was using my laptop today hanging a external USB drive off it to play music off my Transporter with Rubinstein playing Chopin's Funeral Match. I had it on a small coffee stand, slipped and let the USB drive fell to the floor detached from the laptop. The music continued playing with the buffer, expecting the worse I reattached the drive, the music kept playing without missing one single beat. This is kudos to the excellent fault tolerance of Slimsever and modern hard drives. -- agentsmith System 1: Transporter+Hi-Line RCA-DIN, Naim 202/200/Hicap+Powerline/NAPSC, Naim NAT03 tuner, Harbeth Monitor 30 System 2: SB2 or Airport Express connected via TOSLINK to a Meridian F80 Headphone: Naim Headline+NAPSC and ancient Senn HD580 agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63704 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] livedrive etc
Thanks for the response jo-wie. The advantages of storing everything in the cloud are many. I don't need to bother with backups (buying backup devices, the hassle of doing the backup, the electricity etc). I can access my data from any internet enabled device, from anywhere in the world. I can share things with other people easily without having to send email attachments. I can store my contacts in one central accessible place (rather than having multiple contact lists across different email accounts and on my mobile), etc. But I guess these things aren't important to everyone. I take your point about the continuous, reliable datastream. Difficult to know this without trying it out.

In that case your "backup" would be the original files on your computer. Their server could go down, data can get corrupted, they may go out of business, who knows but I would have duplicates of any such files and data regardless of where it is stored.

You could take duplicates yourself but your duplicates might fail or be stolen or. How far do you want to take it?

I understand the advantages, but in the special case of a computer which runs the Squeezecenter I do not get the point. It makes no sense in my eyes to load my library from a Internet source to my local SC computer. I would store the data on this computer and keep it in the cloud as a backup or maybe the possibility to access it from different locations and systems. I would make sense if it's integrated into Squeezenetwork as MP3Tunes and you get rid of an local computer. I have 3 (4 if you include the original CDs :-) ) copies of my music library: a copy on my main PC to work on, a copy on my Linux SC server and a periodic backup on an external drive. It's a good idea to have also a storage in the cloud, but I would never go without any local backup. -- jo-wie SB Classic, SC 7.3.3 auf GigaByte STA/C mit VIA C7 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 250 GB 2,5" HD, Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 last.fm/user/jo-wie jo-wie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17952 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63682 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes, assuming they stay in business. Ask anyone who purchased music from Yahoo music. :) I'm all for online / offsite storage, but the day I rely solely on a third party to safeguard all my data and files is the day pigs fly! I understand you have everything backed up on there, therefore you want that service to be accessible from your SB player for the music stored there. Makes perfect sense. But I highly doubt SD has any interest in building a connectivity portal to such file backup systems (assuming these types of systems are even capable of live, real time file streaming). They already have this with MP3Tunes which is a live music streaming service of your uploaded (backup) music files serving music streaming devices like what SD builds. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63682 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Usually that's a sign of bad tags. What format are the files? If they're MP3, the problem is usually that there are some stray (and erroneous) IDv1 tags that are confusing SC.
