[slinkelist] problems with slinkserv stability/queries about randomness

[Ken Geoffrion]

Jay, I've been having the same problems, although it's quite intermittent.  
Occasionally, it will stay up for days, then crash every hour or so.  I'm 
running Win95 and IE5 on a 486/66 (all this computer is used for is CDJ).

It actually seems LESS stable since upgrading to the latest version of 
CDJ/Slinkserv this weekend.

I'm running CDJ on a Toshiba laptop with a pentium 133.  I did a clean
install of Win95 & IE5 before installing CDJ.  It works great (lots better 
than the 12MB 486/25 that I had been using), but slinkserv crashes every few 
hours.

I did install some user-contributed program for slinkserver that was later 
reported to be causing problems, but uninstalled it after I read that it was 
causing problems.  That did make things better, but still not reliable.  
It's a bummer because it always seems to crash while playing a CD that I'd 
rather not listen to all of.

Are other folks using slinkserv & slink-saver (the only reason compelling me 
to use slinkserv) without trouble?  Should I do another clean install of 
win95? Win98?  I do like slink-saver--it's much prettier than CDJ.

How does the random feature work?  I know how to make it go; I've even
programmed a button on my remote that does a "no christmas" search (that
was a happy day!).  My problem is that it often seems like I hear the same
CD---or few cd's with some frequency.  (I have almost 400 in my 205 and
240. But then maybe it's just my imagination.  One day I'm sure I'll make
a few playlists, but I've been too lazy thus far.

Thanks.
