Semi-audiophile question! I'm waiting on two of the new SB3's. Currently, I have two SB1's - one in the lounge, one in the family room. The lounge one is hooked up using the onboard DAC to an analogue amp, the family room is hooked up to my HT receiver, via the digital out. Obviously, one of th

I don't think 40 would be a problem, but at some point approaching 200 units, the streaming workload would probably need to be managed differently. The solution might be to hand that off to apache, possibly on another machine. This used to be a fairly easy hack in slimserver but I'm not sure what

One small point about cost.  RAID1 has the smallest buy in, but $/MB is more expensive than RAID5 (as long as the R1 and R5 controllers are about the same price.) Finally a subject that's in my area of professional expertise, rather than hobbyist interest.On 11/11/05, Dan Goodinson < [EMAIL PROTEC

I totally do not understand Random Mix. On my SB2 and Slimserver, when I select Random Mix and then Random Songs, it selects 17 songs then quits. I have the option of replaying those 17 songs or jumping through hoops to get it to select another 17 songs (i.e., I typically have to clear the curre

MP3 would be much better than Real, but still isn't really 'free'. People who care about such things (like the Slashdot crowd) demand Ogg, but that's not nearly as widely supported (especially by portable players). MP3 would be the best compromise, I feel. Stuart -Original Message- From:

SB2 has a very large buffer, so the music can continue to play after server shutdown, until the buffer is exhausted. You'll see no screen updates, because that's controlled via the server. Remember that contstant network activity I mentioned, even duing native WMA playback? I believe what has c

With wired routers, I'd say it doesn't matter which one you get. It's more the features you need that will determine what you get. Even when I couldn't get my SMC2804WBRP-G router to work with my SB2 wirelessly, the wired ports worked perfectly. TCM wrote: > JJZolx Wrote: > >>But I've alwa

Try disabling windows Zero Conf and using the driver software that came with your wireless card. It's quite common for the stuff built into XP to do this - it's looking for other networks which might be "better" than the one it's connected to. -- radish -
