Is J River MC 12 slow for you too?

Jim not sure what's going on there brother. I'm running MC13 using Windows 7 playing music to a remote wireless desktop in my office..there's no lag time at all..zero.

I do notice when I'm streaming movies or music to my laptop in the kitchen..I get lag times unlike when streaming to both Desktops.

My configuration is setup a little different I believe. I use Harddrives connected directly to my main PC..sharing them with the network. My main PC must stay on..but it works very well.

Maybe you should try it like this and see what you think.

By the way, does MC12 have the interactive 3D viewing? If not..you should give MC13 a try..this is extremely cool!! Not to be confused with Theater view which is nice as well.

Best wishes

Well, for the most part, many if not all special video effecs, images, views, etc., destroy my accessibility software immediately, or the OS hangs & crashes.

If you'd care to get with me later on I'd be interested in seeing more on your config.... although I do really want to use the Iomega NAS 1TB HDD for storage and access to data.

What's this "Windows #7 " business? Is it a Vista upgrade?

My Desktops run ether net cables and have little noitceable issues, if any.

I'm wondering if MC ought to be downloaded and installed onto the NAS ITSELF?

WHY? Windows media and iTunes are already on it as OEM apps, and those apps on the pc's have no issues accessing and playing music files immediately. ???

Windows 7 is Microsoft's newest OS. It is due to release in July. You can go to Microsoft and download it for free on a trial.. I really like this new OS...it makes networking VERY EASY if you have a home network. It's faster then Vista..though I had no problems with Vista service pack 2..which ran great!

I'll second the Windows 7 plug...I like it a lot. (and I'm a Linux guy mostly).

I am running similar setup as you except with iTune, no lag when selecting track. guess it's JRiver.
