Comments on: Jinzora 2.6 or How Annoying Can One Thing Be? http://elwoodicious.com/2006/09/19/jinzora-26-or-how-annoying-can-one-thing-be/ Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. —Voltaire Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:37:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: james http://elwoodicious.com/2006/09/19/jinzora-26-or-how-annoying-can-one-thing-be/comment-page-1/#comment-1311 james Fri, 29 Sep 2006 11:38:08 +0000 http://www.elwoods.org/home/2006/09/19/jinzora-26-or-how-annoying-can-one-thing-be/#comment-1311 Hmmm, I have the home page configured to show genre and clicking on a genre drills into the artist and that renders fairly quickly. One of the reasons it might be slow is that it is using tables the page won't display anything until the last table tag is closed and in the case of a lot of data that means some waiting. I am surprised to read over at your site that the developer stated it needs a ton of horsepower as I am running it on a PIII 1GHz with 512MB on board and for the most part is pretty snappy. One of the reasons I chose Jinzora was that it is one of the least resource intensive applications out there, granted importing is a drain but after that everything is low impact. I've been eying the slimdevices for a while and might break down and get one in the next year or so. The only thing I didn't like about the server software was that the interface outside of the device (streaming to work) was kludgy. What I want is a UI that best approximates J. River's Media Center and so far only Jinzora has got that covered. Hmmm, I have the home page configured to show genre and clicking on a genre drills into the artist and that renders fairly quickly.

Importing into Jinzora is basically impossible. But, unlike you, I found it nearly unusable after importing my 25k song collection. Its home page wanted to list out all the artists. Ha! Where do these guys come from thinking that this works? http://slacy.com/blog/index.php/2006/09/05/jinzora-still-blows/ The developers even stop by and try to help me. Ummmm, yeah. I'm using an old copy of Netjuke, but like you, want to write something that actually works. Have you tried slimserver? http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html I agree 100%.
