7.6 sounds good, but maybe not QUITE ready for use yet? How can I use SQLite instead of MySql with ver. 7.5? Sounds as though it might go some wat to reduce performance issues Im having? Thanks. -- Gazjam Gazjam's

Thanks John, so the built in server is by default off until you plug something into the Touch? Wonder if maybe I've spoken too soon actually... I have a 500odd track playlist which my Touch is having problems playing.. Selecting the playlist to play all so to speak can take a few minutes to

I'm running sbs (7.5) on an single core Atom Whs (1,6Ghz, 2GB RAM). And I also like the idea of using the touch's internal server. At it's current state, its performance and stability is miles away from the atom and that stopped me from following that idea very soon. Besides, I don't want to

92% cpu ! maybe you do a clean reinstall of the whole machine, if it's only used for music. I gets high during start for 10 sec or so Unless when you are scanning then 90% is the norm, it scans as fast as it can using the resources available. Or do you need to transcode, then it could be high.
