Thanks SBGK, Agree with those comments. I like a more active and weighted mid and lower bass band. So this would absolutely impact my conclusions in regard to the software I prefer. I have mmcss on. As I use my PC for a XBMC when I'm not listening to audio. Its a pain enabling and re-enabling. I previously tried mmcss off, but did no critical listening. I'll give it another shoot. Cheers again. looking forward to v31. You move very quickly

Hi SBGK I'm aware JLP is just starting out....and its early days. I love what you are doing with the software, and I will continue to support JLP.... I don't think I was negative in any way? was I? Please always view my comments as constructive... It may very well be possible JLP v30 is sounding better than Mqn, I haven't tried any JLP versions past v27, the comments I left on Tir Na reference v27 only. I look forward to giving v30 a spin this weekend. As for my system..... I believe my hifi setup (and ear) is transparent/capable enough to translate relatively small changes in SQ, but absolutely not the last word in transparency. To be honest the comments I made referencing particular v27 rendering qualities (again this is my opinion) would be audible in systems costing much less than mine. Cheers

Ok thanks SBGK.... With all due respect and courtesy, the explanations are confusing for PC users with less than admin experience. A little more detail specific to each task would be very helpful. Here's what I did for everyone else's benefit. I am assuming this is correct until told otherwise. 1. Firstly follow these steps, as per SBGK's link. Logitech Media Server as a Service - SqueezeboxWiki 2. Whilst in logitech control panel as an administrator, Select the Status Tab.. Select run with no user extensions, Hit apply. 4. Reboot PC. 5. Goto task manager check services for squeezesvc.... If present squeezeserver is loaded successfully as a service. 6. Then click processes tab in task manager Right click the logitech media server process (squeezesvr), select properties. Then select the compatibility tab at the top. Tick run in 640x480 screen resolution Tick run this program as an administrator. Hit apply. 6. Reboot PC You be done

Hi SBGK I appreciate the latest versions of squeezelite. I have squeezelite already loaded as a service.... as you are aware, and I have just followed the instructions you highlighted ---- Logitech Media Server as a Service - SqueezeboxWiki To load slim server as a service..... I have a similar question set to cvrle59.... I right clicked logitech control panel (in admin mode), enabled automatically run at system start. LMS now starts automatically on boot and music plays (sounding ridiculously good I may add), but I am not seeing LMS as a service?! 1. Should I be? 2. What name should I be seeing in services, I can only see LMS has loaded as a background process "logitech media server (32 bit)".... in the win 8 processes tab... 3. Is this correct or do I need some assistance... Cheers 2CA

FYI I hope to update my how to guide and simplify the service loading for users. When the service loading task is simplified and broken down its fairly straight forward with only a few main requirements. 1. Check for your correct squeezelite KS output, using command prompt 2. Create a bat file with the relevant location and squeezelite settings/output, using notepad Then save the bat file into the squeezelite bin folder 3. Run the nssm service loading software and point it to the bat file location, via command prompt 4. Copy v25 squeezelite into the squeezelite bin folder 5. Deselect squeezelite startup pc under local player settings 6. Reboot pc and start squeeze server 7. Check for your loaded squeezelite player.... Looking forward to trying portaudio v20 2CA

Thanks SBGK V25 is sounding very impressive in my humble opinion.... I must say V24 & V25 both have fantastic bass extension and weight, especially when compared to pre V24 versions. Looking forward to trying portaudio_X64 v20 Cheers again 2CA

Thanks SBGK I got squeeze lite running in services.... quick question Do I know need to remove the additional settings in local player, if I have put these in the bat file? My bat file looks like this: c:\programdata........\bin\squeezelite-win.exe -o 2 -n SqueezeSER -a 2 -b 700:200000 -s 10.1.1.11 I appreciate your advice cheers 2CA
