Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.

Well everything is ordered so we'll see how I get on setting it up. As d6jg suggested, is there a benefit to have the LMS cache and prefs on the SSD? Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media Center Integration for Squeezebox. http://www.duff-zapp.

Sorry I deleted that post because I spoke to my brother and ordered a mSata SSD and mounting board. I'll let you know how it goes. Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media Center Integration for Squeezebox. http://www.duff-zapp.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.

Ok one last question ;-) If I'm going with a SSD should I get an external USB drive and find a case to house both or get an expansion board (Geekworm X820?) and use a sata SSD? which I guess would limit me to the Geekworm case. Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media C

My library is around 19000 tracks in flac so they're all streamed native unless they're hi res ones streaming to SB2's which are transcoded I think. I'm not a big use of playlists. Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media Center Integration for Squeezebox. http:/

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.

ok thanks, So it looks like I'd be better with the Pi3B+ then add a SSD for a tiny silent server. I'll think I'll get that passed the boss :-) Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media Center Integration for Squeezebox. http://www.

Thanks for the replies, My library is currently 460G so if I went with the Pi would I be able to attach a SSD or would a large USB flash drive be a better option? Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media Center Integration for Squeezebox. http://www.duff-zapp.co.uk

I've had LMS running on an old XP PC for many years but house renovating has caused suggestions of something smaller. What are my best options, I just need to run LMS and offer a network share of my music drive to other machines. Thanks Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media C
