Daniel it is probably worth you spending time un-installing all the
applications that you don't use. Not just to stop any errors you may
have picked up from the RAID resize.
It is surprising how many applications install all those little helper
things in odd places like the system tray to make it

funkstar, thanks for the explanations about the SC/SB conversations. Is

You can use metaflac to remove RG tags from FLAC files. (I don't know

Slimserver has no problem handling DTS files. As mentioned before, DTS
files need to be sent to the receiver straight through without altered.
You do not need to tur
Thanks Phil, yes, I think we're on the same wavelength. I too had
considered changing the tag gains to 0dB, but haven't yet got round to
testing it (didn't have a good tag editor for a start - most don't seem
to allow gain editing!). SMST's suggestion to kill the gain tags is
even better. I eve
I believe there is a feature request for Squeezecenter to treat *.dts
files as a separate file format. That way, any players not connected
to a DTS decoder could be told to ignore any .dts files that might be
sent as part of a larger playlist.

Doh! - yes of course...didn't think of that - simply remove the RG tags!

Just in case anyone reading this wants to verify their PC's virtual
memory:

Settings->Advanced->Virtual Memory Change
It's best to set virtual memory size at 1.5 times the size of physical

You seem very knowledgeable so I hesitate to mention the obvious, but
have you verified the PC's virtual memory setting ?

Phil, with all due respect, I have to disagree with your first sentence,
while agreeing with your second. When 'Track gain' is selected for
volume adjustment, SlimServer/SqueezeCenter DOES 'scale' the audio

On a similar note, does the new Controller interface improve the
response time at all? Would I get performance similar experience to my
iPod? I have an iPod Classic 160GB with about 5,000 songs and the
response is pretty much instantaneous.

No it doesn't. DTS files have to be passed untouched by any software in
order to work properly. This has nothing to do with SS. You would have
the same problem with an
