[slinkelist] CDJ Crashes (fwd)

Mon, 01 May 2000 14:19:36 PDT

Hate to flood the list, but here is my experience.  

Fast machine (AMD K6-2 300 or 450, 64MB) - no problem
running with slink-server and ADO-format database.  

Slow machine (P150, 32MB) - all kinds of trouble seeing the slinke 
and players, unacceptably slow loading database.  

Reverted to .lib database and stopped using slink-server
and have had no problems since - CDJ finds slinke and players every time,
database loads in under a minute (400+ CDs).

And why is the ADO-format database better again?
