This is a rarity for me doing music server maintenance during the day. I also had reconfigured my backup music server so it was not really ready to take over the full functionality of streaming the music. So I improvised and setup my portable music system to stream music temporarily.
I really forgot how much I had to do to get the music server up and running and insure it has the proper ports opened in my firewall hardware firewall to stream to Shoutcast servers and update my web server music page through the LAN.
I also had to make sure that the stream was putting out the HiFi & LoFi streams at the proper ports.
The other reason I went to my portable music system is that it had already synced up all of the music which is very CPU intensive and takes a while which is why sometimes you will hear a brief slowing of the song when I make changes to the playlist sometimes slows the song (this is why Iām looking at another way to stream music and will be implementing that sometime soon).
My backup music server I had not synced the music in a while and its still crunching the CPU performing that long task.
