Experience with Mach2 Music Server?

Cfluxa, I have the Mini configured not to sleep.

Is your network password protected?

Mine is. If my network was not password protected, I would not have to re-enter a password (at least that's my understanding), but I choose to have it password protected.

iTunes plays the entire "CD" if I select gapless play. That process takes six clicks of the mouse to accomplish.

If you know another way around these issues, then please be specific rather than just telling me there should be no reason it has to be so. That's not particularly helpful.

Darrell and Kevin have devoted a good deal of time answering questions and offering advice.

Glad to hear for you it's very plug and play.

As I said earlier, YMMV.

Yes, Tvad, referring to the Mini on the noise. I use the internal HD which I guess might be quieter than some external ones. But as you pointed you you sitting only 3' from it makes quite a difference.

I also have to re-enter my password to the Mini for Screen Sharing after my *laptop* which I use to control it remotely goes to sleep. As with Tvad, the Mini never sleeps, which is how it should be setup.

There's no way around this but it is really not a big deal.

Exactly.

The Mach2 server uses a solid state drive. No spinning disc. There is no noise from the Mini unless the DVD drive is being used to rip a CD.

The external drive would probably not be audible from 10' away during music playback.
