Thanks for the response Richard but I've just moved it to a more powerful machine with more memory. I'll try the debug option if I get any more issues.

The installer didn't want to run on either machine I tried so I followed the instructions on the Softsqueeze page and downloaded the 'other' file then manually extracted it into what I think is the correct place. I've no idea how I confirm Softsqueeze is actually using it other than the sound break-up seems to be much less frequent - it's now listenable :). Thanks very much for your help. I think it might be time for a new laptop as I suspect CPU requirements will go up when I set up the 2 Squeezeboxes.

Thanks Max, it told me it wasn't and, when I checked, I obviously didn't put the plug-in where I intended. I've remedied that and have confirmed SoftSqueeze is using it.

Re: [slim] Softsqueeze resource hungry?
Softsqueeze will use more resources than WinAmp, but it should not be that much more. Is the CPU usage high as soon as Softsqueeze connects, or only when playing music? I have had another couple of reports of a similar sounding problem. To start with could you enable 'slimproto' debug in Softsqueeze and post the output.

[slim] Softsqueeze resource hungry?
I'm running Slimserver (6.2b2)/Softsqueeze on an old Sony Vaio which is supposed to have an 850MHz processor and has 256Mb RAM. Nothing else is running on the machine apart from Predixis Music Magic Mixer, Outpost firewall, AVG and RAdmin. All the MP3s are on a Buffalo Linkstation. WinAmp has no problem running on this machine but the output from Softsqueeze is constantly breaking up - it's unlistenable. I'm using the random mix if that makes any difference. Looking at resources CPU is constantly running at 100% with javaw.exe using as much CPU as it can get and r-server (RAdmin) grabbing occasional bits. It seems to be RAdmin grabbing resources that is interrupting the playback. I'm somewhat surprised that Softsqueeze seems to need more resources than WinAmp.
