If it is pulling the music over the internet then you are introducing many more variables than you would have if you were on a network. Ignoring upload and download bandwidth on the connections you also have contention ratios (at least you do in the UK with ADSL) you have the packets routing between service providers, or at the very least through a providers network. Also bear in mind that the display for the unit is being driven by the server as well, so not only is the music taking bandwidth, the player/server communications are as well. I have no idea what the overhead for this is, but I would assume it would be significant on anything lower than basic Ethernet speeds. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Obviously I don't know what this data is, but if true, that is possibly why you see the Roku in 'reviews' and adverts a lot, they actually *need* to advertise it where SlimDevices do not.

[slim] Minor Forum/List issues
I've been a member of the list for quite a few years now (since the Yahoo groups days) and actually really like the new forum/list approach, but I have discovered a few little problems. There has been a couple of posts on the Audiophiles board in the past couple of days that have had images attached to them, these don't transfer very well to the list. There is a text block with links to the forum attachments which is neat, but it only shows the first file, not all of them. Also the link in Outlook is broken (doesn't get highlighted in blue). This is because the http:// Part is hard up against the pipe making the box, put a space in there and it will work (the pipe at the end of the link will also cause problems) Any chance of getting these fixed? I know they aren't big things, just a little annoying :) Thanks Neil Sample attachment text block: +---+ |Filename: MF-RACK_small.JPG| |Download: |http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=245| +---+ ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

RE: [slim] Backing up ripped music
Best way (in my opinion) is to get a second drive in an external Firewire/USB case and just copy all your data across to it then disconnect and store the backup in a cupboard somewhere. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of max.spicer Sent: 10 April 2005 11:14 To: discuss@lists.slimdevices.com Subject: [slim] Backing up ripped music Manuel Rathmann wrote (in "New Buffalo Linkstation and Slimserver"): > [..] my harddrive just went up in smoke - most probaply because I left it running for too long due to my Squeezebox. This sort of thing scares me a lot. I reckon I'll have spent 36 hours ripping all my music when I'm done, and there will be around 100GB of data. How do you go about backing this sort of thing up? The only really feasible thing I can think of is to buy a second hard disk and use RAID 1 (mirrored pair of disks). After that, I just have to hope that something doesn't happen that takes out the whole computer.
