My latest version of Slimserver 6.5.4 fails to run automatically on

'Restart' could be added as well. So if you've changed a config, rather
than having to close it, wait and then manually restart. Why not just
have a right-click option on the tray icon to 'Restart'?

SlimServer is about that slow on my machine to. I Have SlimServer
installed on a Centrino 1.7GHz, 1GB Laptop with Windows XP. Just
installed Slimserver 6.5 a few days ago. Seems like the Mysqld.exe
pocess is the problem. Sometimes it uses 100% CPU for a longer period.

Are there any programs for windows XP supporting SqueezeBox so I don't
have to use SlimServer?
(Love SqueezeBox but hate SlimServer. Have nothing but problems with

hate mail.)

There are two ways to go I can think of. There is sort of limited upnp
functionality with slimserver that might work with some upnp programs -
it sees my orb server for example though doesn't seem to quite work with
it properly - you might try a few upnp servers and have reasonable luck
Better
Or leave Slimserver in place, but use one of the other front ends -
Moose is a very good alternative.

No. The only way not to have to use SlimServer is relying on

I am using Creative T20s right by my bed - stunning performance for
their size and price. I paid 40 euros on ebay. A secondhand SB will
cost you at least four times this. I also have A5s but maybe they are a

Yes for mc2slim you need to have installed slimserver but you dont have
to actually use it...

I used my SB3 for the first time in several months, and it immediately
downloaded a firmware upgrade. The unit hung after the automatic
reboot, requiring me to unplug and plug in again. After the unplug,
the unit works fine, but will hang periodically. The Information tab
shows Player Firmware
Slimserver is much faster on Linux. I've been using a 1.5 GHz machine
with 512 RAM and several major plugins. No complaints about the speed
of the web interface.

It was a link indeed. It only showed up with dir *.lnk /s

Interestingly a search in windows explorer and a find in cygwin did not

There's a lot more to it than just the antenna. The SB3 could be made
to be much more robust. But then it would cost closer to the $1K Dell
(with everyone then complaining about the cost).

I upgraded the server software. The new version of slimserver required
me to upgrade the firmware again. This resulted in Version 81, and it
now shows that I have a SB3. Weird.

I am not sure if there is anything really wrong with the SB3 wireless
innards, or whether it is just the general flakiness of 2.4GHz
wireless, the need to be able to keep up with the music real-time, and
a relatively small buffer. Given a certain amount of wireless
interference, dropped packets,

If you're only getting 20% under good conditions, you might want to
consider a wired connection instead. If pulling ethernet cable isn't an
option, consider a pair of homeplug adapters. They carry the network

The SB does have a good For the Money Value to it. Part of your answer
is in your question itself. The SB does much more then you are giving
