Thanks for pointing out the ramdisk will work with the leftover space that cannot be addressed by windows, I thought this was not possible but after reading this; RamDisk - Using More than 3GB ram on 32 bit OS | PCHijack It's all pretty clear to me. I'm switching back, win 7 makes my head hurt. Will wait till SP1 and try again I suppose.

Quality settings are under the delivery tab and the remote tab (content delivery). Servioo doesn't launch more than 1x ffmpeg process if I launch sequential files. It does keep the last process going (according to a search of the forums this is by design, not a 'bug'), I assume it's so that you can easily resume and might also help...

The only tagger which works more or less by itself in my knowledge is the Picard tagger by musicbrainz.org (still in heavy beta, yet quite usable.) It scans your files, autotags files with a (useradjustable) overlap with known files and gives suggestions for other files.

Okay, well if we're going to proceed, you're going to need to help me understand a bit more about the 2 specific points I raised. Specifically... 1. Why do you say that you need one tuner per channel? Even if I assume you have some legitimate reason for that, the practicalities become important. In other words, I have no idea how...
