baetis media server

Happy New Year, everyone!

It's been a few weeks since I checked this thread, and was pleasantly surprised to see all of the recently added feedback.

I spoke to John, a few weeks ago. And, while Baetis is still near the top of my list, one of my concerns is the ongoing "computer maintenance/updates."

I'm not much of a computer guy. Ideally, I'd like to rip my cd collection, set up my playlists, push play and forget about everything.

Basically, I want to spend the small amount of leisure time that I have - listening to music, not doing maintenance/updates.

Can anyone comment on the time consumption and complexity of the recommended, ongoing computer maintenance?

I wish that I could leave the server connected to the web via Ethernet, and Baetis would just push through the updates, without me having to do anything.

Please keep the comments coming!

Thank you.

Gee, maybe no one told me about the computer maintenance on my Baetis. I have yet to do any! I did get one Windows update, but that's about it. I do occasionally save my music lists in JRiver, but beyond that I am not sure what else I should do. Oh, last thing I do once a month is back up my hard drives to capture any changes I have made to any of the music files I have made. If you know of other maintenance needs, please let me know.

Maniac:

You may want to check with John/Baetis.

It could be just Windows updates, but I do recall him saying that updates should be done, at least monthly.

I use a computer, daily. However, I would not describe myself as being extremely IT savvy.

How was your experience in setting up and updating the unit???

Thanks.

Barrelchief, if this is a dedicated music server, I would not worry about updates unless it is addressing something that affects function. In my experience with Windows, updates, in general, tends to reduce the efficiency of the operating system. Just my two cents.
