RE: SliMP3 or Audiotron owners wanting display capability

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

So I currently access my MP3 server (160Gb drive sits in a Windows 2K
serve=
r) via PCAnywhere and/or MediaPlayer 9. I've tried other progs such as
WinA=
mp etc. All take a while to read in the files (as expected) and when
loadin=
g for a subsequent time, can take a while to become responsive (i.e.
browsi=
ng the list). I've got a CL SB Live card in the server  to give a
fair=
ly good output.



I've not tried anything clever yet - I want to be able to access songs via
=
a variety of ways (local PC in several rooms etc). I've got a multi-room,
m=
ulti-source system installed in the house but no control of the MP3 server
=
yet (the wall controllers are basically learning remotes with IR dist
built=
in - Kustom KHS6640).



Would a SLiMP3 help in any way? I guess their big advantage is the
display.=

The SLiMP=A3 can handle an unlimited number.
The AT is approx 30k, depending on memory usage....
