I am running SC on an old slow PC, but it works fine. For testing I use
my fast new DELL laptop, so on Windows platform there are problems

i know that you can have multiple servers running.  you could just
connect your squeezebox to the different servers.

i am not sure about accessing your itunes files remotely.  you may not
have access to playlists or some features.  i am not sure though
because i don't use itunes in this way. i would suggest that you test
it on the laptop using a couple of local files / itunes on the laptop.

[slim] Can I test 7.2.x on a laptop first?

2008-11-28 Thread whitman

I'm thinking of moving up to 7.2.x from 6.5.1, principally so that I can
use the latest benefits of the iPlayer plugin over the deteriorating
effectiveness of AlienBBC in 6.5.x mode (BBC's fault, not the great
Alien guys). 

I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.5.5. 

Is there anything to stop me trying out 7.2.1 on my (also Mac) laptop
and leaving the desktop machine, the one where 6.5.1 currently resides,
with 6.5.1 until I decide it all works? 

Could I, for example, access my iTunes library, which resides on an
outboard hard drive, from the laptop, as part of my test, without
upsetting anything?

I'd be grateful for any guidance. I'm just thinking that moving up to
7.2.x is a little more tricky and trouble-prone for Mac users than PC
users, from what I've read here.
