Anyone using Squeezebox server on Mac OS X?

Traudio, can you be a little more specific when you say that Squeezecenter 7.6 is "totally screwed up" with Lion?

I am still using Snow Leopard until all of my ducks are in a row to make the upgrade and retain full capabilities for getting back to Snow Leopard if necessary. I have enough important data and server services, and these depend on several cron jobs that I've established, etc, so I will likely have to do some tweaking after I've upgraded to Lion.

In the meantime, I'm still using Squeezecenter on Linux because it continues to work just fine, although I still am planning on transitioning it to the Mac because the Mac is a MUCH more powerful machine than my old Linux box.

Thanks again for your info.

I have upgraded to Lion, updated squeezebox and am not having any issues at all. I did have to upgrade the squeezebox and re enter passwords etc. initially.

I'd like to use my older g4 mac mini 1.25GHz as a music server (running Squeezebox server) on my home network. The mini will be installed in the router room and not in the listening areas. I'll use a couple of Squeezebox Touches & a Squeezebox radio. I understand I need to install Squeezebox server on the mac mini & I'll have an external hard drive attached to the mini with the music files on it. I'll be using another computer to rip CDS & do downloads, etc. How do I set this ripping computer, which at the time is a iBook G4 (and will be hooked up via ethernet to the network), up so that the rips and downloads go directly to the external hard drive on the mac mini (are there settings on the macs)?

I couldn't get my squeezable to recognize my Mac based system. Logitech support was non existant

No problems here with a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and now Lion. One annoyance, though, is that the preference pane only runs in 32 bits, so I have to wait for it to restart the Preferences app in 32 bit mode every time I want work with the preference pane.

Caudio2011 - As far as automatically saving a file ripped on another computer to the one running the server, I have not tried this, but you might try mounting a shared folder from the server computer on the desktop of the ripping computer and directing the ripping program to save the output to that folder. Not sure that is a good idea because of the slow speed of moving the data across ethernet, relative to the speed of the rip being done. I haven't bothered because I make backups at the same time I move files to the server computer so it would actually slow the process down to rip the files directly to the remote server computer and then move a copy across the network again to the backup disk.
