Things that I find really slow it down are accessing your music over the network, especially when it's doing things like checking for gapless information
It's amazing to me how Apple's failings here depress everyone's expectations of other media devices. Here's
The Register reviewing some kind of Central+Receiver setup from Sony:
An unexpected surprise was the Gigajuke's ability to work out which of the albums we copied across were gapless – the recording of Turandot we imported played back without a moments silence between the cue points.
Is gapless playback a subtle and hard-to-determine property of an album, that's secretly being calculated somewhere and communicated to the thin-clients? Or is it perhaps that this device just does what's obviously right -- what every CD player in the world does -- and that today's ready availability of
fail has blinded people to that?
