I just purchased a Squeezebox 3 (wired) which sounds great and exceeded my expectations. My Slimserver is running on an old Dell ssf with XP Pro (dedicated). I only have ~100 cd's on it so far; just wav files (used EAC).

What is a good folder layout for Slimserver? Since I'm new to all of this, I'm pretty sure that I will use FLAC and I haven't figured out what to do about tagging. I don't seem to have any problems playing the wav files; dropout, slow start of next track, or some of the other problems I've read about, so far.
Also, I will have album art for everything (large and small jpeg). I want to keep the performance I have now as I add to the library. I will be using the web interface from a remote computer to talk to the Slimserver and not the console. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack
