Sorry - I don't know how to use an xml link.

I suspect you mean work on the SB3.  AFAIK they do not work in the
controller.  Is that also in the pipeline?

Try a PIII, 500Mhz with 128MB! That's the only spare I've got!!

I run mine on a P4, 1.8 with only 512 MB RAM. 

The other serious computers in the house all have a use, and I run a
dedicated server. I'll upgrade one day. It's just nice to know I'm not
missing much!

I haven't seen this working - even though it DID work in 6.  Am I
missing something?

For Podcats and WMA stream - FFWD and  REW work.,

For RealAudio, a beta of AlienBBC 2.01 for 7.1 is nearly ready. There
will be an announcement. It uses standard FFW/REW controls and so works
on SBC as well.

Re: [slim] should I move to v7 ?

2008-06-19 Thread amey01

Thanks for raising. I too have been putting off upgrading to SC7.x. 

Quite seriously, SlimServer is THE most important system I run - my
music is the most important part of my life. If I lost my banking,
internet access, word processing ability, et. al., I'd survive, but if
I lost my music I'd be in a fit!

Now, if I had a spare server sitting around I would upgrade for sure,
but I don't have that just now (not one that's capable of running SC7
anyway!

It doesn't take that much of a computer. I have been running mine on an
ancient AMD 2000+ system that was given to me. I put a gig of ram in it,
and lots of disks. I'm very happy with it. I'm running Linux on it,
which is easier on the system than Windows.

My little brother runs his on a machine he bought for $180. (no monitor)
He bought the machine used two weeks ago, I gave him one of my SB1
units. Figured I'd get him addicted to it, and he can buy his own duet
or Transporter.

If everything is OK and you are happy then don't change. 

Reasons in the future for using 7.x

1. You buy a Duet or an SBC.

2. In 7.1 (not released yet) you can FFWD/REW in Podcast and WMA and
BBC Listen Again streams.

2008-06-11 Thread aubuti

If you ever like to synchronize multiple SBs *and* you have been having
any problems with sync in 6.5, you should know that sync is much
improved in 7.x. But like the others said, if it's working fine for
you, leave it alone.

Do you use the web interface much?

If so, upgrade - it is vastly improved.  If not, probably not worth
bothering.
