Thanks Pippin, loving the playback function! On my iPad I used your

For a simple comparison try running SBS on a regular computer, load a
few albums on that computer, connect Duet to SBS on that computer.
Seem a little snappier and more responsive?
Also, make sure server is wired regardless of type.

I had SBS set up on my netbook running Win7 (full version) with an Atom

Where this config will show its lack of horsepower is in ripping

IMHO, even if it's working great, I've always had the feeling that the
SB Duet is the weakest link of the Squeezebox line.
I've bought all Squeezebox model since 2005. I've fallen in love of my
SB3, Boom, Touch and Radio, but The Duet has never been the one I would
recommend to a friend.
