Hi everybody, I'm having this problem since yesterday, and wondering if
someone else exeperienced it, too.
I didn't make any change in configuration, except adding some new
songs.
I'm runing the tiny server with a WD attached via usb.
Since yesterday, apparently without any particular reason,
What is the file format ? use FLAC or mp3 for most likely success .
Maybe the dB got screwed a complete rescan of the files maybe .
You can even delete the hidden squeeze something folder on the
harddrive and start all over ?

all mp3
the screwed up database may be an explanation, although I had just made
the complete rescan a day before.
The only strange thing I did was to enable/disable the shuffle...
Anyway, now I made a factory reset, and I'm waiting for the full rescan
to end, and then I'll make some tests.
Try to use random song function instead of shuffle ? I had problems with
using shuffle on large playlist, dont shuffle more than one album (on
the internal server).
The internal server is limited to pl of 100 songs in size but i doybt
it can shuffle them tryt his press shuffle rapidly 3-4 time
usually takes a long time to answer (to change the icon).
Unfortunately random songs function doesn't allow you to choose wich
artist or album to play. The only option you have is on genre, but,
again, I have a library of 7500 songs, with more than 300 genres. Even
selecting select all or
Thats why I'm usingmy own server 2500 albums mostly in flac .
And then I use Erlands Dynamic playlist plugin .
It can play random -from- a predefined playlist , I have party playlist
and elctro playlist really huge ones that this plugin picks from.
It also have dozens of other options:
Sample rate shows around 128 kbps, Format MPEG-1, Layer 3
Some of them also say Encoded with LAME 3.98
HOLD ON! I just tried it again and today it appears to be working.
???
You guys are amazing...just posting a question on this forum and it's
fixed! LOL . Thanks anyway. Cheers!

the dynamic playlist seem to be cool, but I still hadn't time to test
it... sooner or later...
about the server... I have a SB3 and a radio and was used to listen to
internet radios, and only rarely to turn on pc and use sb server. When
Touch came out I was happy and thought to use it as a

is it not soo (sadly enough) that the western digital usb powered drives
is the most finicky to actually use with Touch some weird powersaving
that kicks in and the server unexpectedly stops etc .
A thing to consider is that most USB powered drives breaks the spec
,but are very ambigues about it

I was actually thinking to a NAS, as I have the touch, one sb3 and a

movies.
Only, reading various threads, I still havent understood wich one
should be the right one... QNAP? ReadyNAS? others? And wich

About the nas: what duo did you had? the rnd2000? what do you think of
rndu2000? may it be substantially better? And do you have any
experience on qnaps?
not sure about his drive other than being about a 5 year

The readynas ULTRA line are x86 processors which are powerful enough one
of this line has dual core processors. But do your homework. You'll pay
about 5 times (at least) as much for a NAS powerful enough to be a
server and it may still not be as good as an old computer

you anticipated me :)
I agree on the old pc, a pc is always better, more flexible, but the
problem is the power consumption. Maybe that leaving it on 24/7 could
be so expensive to justify an initial bigger expense for a powerfull
NAS...
I'm not an engineer and have
laptops use very little power.
Avoid old P4's they gulp power .
A purpose built atom core mini server like the vortex box is not half
bad regarding power use either I think its rather good like small light
bulb.

I wanted to eliminate my DAC as the possible source of this noise so I

I just hooked up my new SB Touch. Nice! I am still orienting myself to
