I have jreceiver and trio set up on a windows xp box. Everything seems to be working. My question is, what are the benefits of using Jrec and trio together, other than being able to have more than the rio limit of songs?

Having Jeceiver setup so doesn't really make any difference to me in operation of my Rios.

Thanks

All these people using JReceiver and no-one can tell me why I should use it other than the the 10000 limit of ARM? Do all of you use it for no good reason?

Well I really never used trio without jrec and went with it because that was recommended. Before trio I was using a Rio Central so again had no use for arm.

However, what I like about jrec is the ability to create dynamic playlists, automatic scanning of my music directory at the same time every morning and it's overall stability.

Jreceiver was available prior to Trio. Jreceiver overcame some ARM issues:

1. it crashed if more than 2000 entries in a menu item(album, artist,playlist). Jreceiver limit the list to 2000.

2. had no internet radio (shoutcast) capability.

Jreceiver can be a pain to install, and support is not great at the moment.

Trio has made things easier to use, the queue and play and synchronisation the main ones but it still relies on either ARM or Jrec 0.2.4(or later).

If Trio moves on to support another server, it may well be that eveyone will move over to this.
