So I gave the program a spin on my Q630 that acts as a headless MP3 file
server on my LAN. At first I couldn't get the file to unstuff on the Q630,
probably due to the older stuffit expander on the machine. So I mounted the
Q630 hd on my iMac and unstuffed it on the iMac.
I control the Q630 via timubktu as it is headless and I pared down the
extension set on it. And the verdict is....
Well kinda, sorta...I initially tried playing a 192kbps U2 With or Without
you and it played but heavily stuttered (like a motorcycle) and it took
about twice as long to play as the length of the song.
I then tried playing a 56kps song which was still stuttered but was almost
decent.
What I haven't tried yet is to turn off Appletalk on the Q630 and put a
monitor/keyboard on the machine and disable timbuktu. I bet that would
improve the playback. I'll give this a shot over the weekend.
Sure the interface is crude, but the effort put into this is impressive.
