I have a Linkstation Live serving about 200 MB of music (FLAC), along with 2 Squeezebox 3s. I haven't gotten up the nerve (yet) to hack the LS Live to run Slimserver, so Slimserver is currently running on a laptop. But it occurred to me that since the LS Live has 2 USB ports, could I put somethi

I'd be interested in how you're checking the md5 checksums. For example, are you comparing WAV files, or FLACs? And how did you generate the files to compare - by ripping successfully with rubyripper on more than one occasion (therefore ripping the track at least 4 times), or by looking at rubyrip
