FWIW, it is highly unlikely SN would "congest". It operates mostly as a 'matchmaker' server: it gives you the menu and display stuff (which is very low bandwidth), and tells your Squeezebox where to get the audio. So the audio itself comes from directly from the stream source to your SB.... the most likely place for congestion (especially anything affecting sound quality) to occur is at your ISP or on your own network (especially if using Wireless... if you start streaming music in an area with a lot of WiFi activity, your neighbor's bittorent and other traffic will create more RF traffic which can inhibit your throughput). SN congestion you might see as slow menu responses, etc, but those would also show up when you are having ISP bandwidth issues. If they show up when music is playing fine, then SN would be having congestion issues. (That said, I only very rarely use SN... my tastes are odd, and my server is on anyway, so local music is great.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36401 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
