Anyone using Squeezebox server on Mac OS X?

I've been using it with my Mac for the past year & a half. It works perfectly.
What you really need to do is have your music on an external drive (and backed up to another). That way when your collection grows, you simply buy a bigger drive.
Also, if somone swipes your computer, they'll probably miss taking that external drive hiding under the desk :-)

I use the squeezebox server software with a Mac mini - it works just fine.

I'd look into LVM. This allows you to add space to your music library in an easy and transparent fashion.

Although it's not as nice for organizing files, you can always just add a symlink in your music library directory that points to extra disk space.

Yes, you're right, I can relatively easily add space to my old Linux box. But the limiting factor at some point may become the horsepower of the machine, although it doesn't take an enormously fast machine to function as the Squeezebox Server. And there is also the desire to consolidate some of the functions of various computers I have scattered around the house for simplicity and ease of making backups.

Traudio, do you use a Mac OS X desktop or Server version? Did you have MySQL previously installed on your Mac? Did you just install the Squeezebox Server on the DMG or did you build the Perl Source Code?

I haven't tried it yet, but when I get a chance I will simply try the DMG and see if that works. I was just wondering if anyone had any pointers or encountered some unexpected gotchas.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael,
I'm not really sure what all you're asking, but it's just a regular iMac in a spare bedroom, with a couple of external hard drives on Firewire 800.
I just downloaded the Squeezebox Server software, installed, pointed it towards my library and that's about all it takes. It's very simple.
I got the iPeng app on my iPod Touch (great app BTW) and run everything from the comfort of my couch as the music is sent wirelessly to my Modwright Transporter.
