[slinkelist] problems with slinkserv stability/queries about randomness

[Jay Pfaffman]

I'm running CDJ on a Toshiba laptop with a pentium 133.  I did a clean
install of Win95 & IE5 before installing CDJ.  It works great (lots better
than the 12MB 486/25 that I had been using), but slinkserv crashes every
few hours.

I did install some user-contributed program for slinkserver that was later
reported to be causing problems, but uninstalled it after I read that it
was causing problems.  That did make things better, but still not
reliable.  It's a bummer because it always seems to crash while playing a
CD that I'd rather not listen to all of.

Are other folks using slinkserv & slink-saver (the only reason compelling
me to use slinkserv) without trouble?  Should I do another clean install
of win95? Win98?  I do like slink-saver--it's much prettier than CDJ.

How does the random feature work?  I know how to make it go; I've even
programmed a button on my remote that does a "no christmas" search (that
was a happy day!).  My problem is that it often seems like I hear the same
CD---or few cd's with some frequency.  (I have almost 400 in my 205 and
240. But then maybe it's just my imagination.  One day I'm sure I'll make
a few playlists, but I've been too lazy thus far.

Thanks.
