SC is running on Windows XP. Browser is running on Windows Vista. MusicIP 1.7.1 GUI running on Windows XP, minimized MusicIP settings in SC Server Settings is set to generate an 80 song playlist. remote desktop to the server (XP) box and start the Windows Task Manager Size the RD windows so that the Task Manager fills the window and you can work on the local (Vista) desktop. Note the memory usage of the slim.exe process on the XP box. In the SC browser on the Vista box click on My Music, Albums Mouse over an Album and hit the "M" icon.

I know that the Windows Task Manager is notorously off, but usually it is good enough to be able to spot gross trends with... Also, playing the MusicIP playlist does cause the memory usage of slim.exe to jump up and down but seems to be trending upwards overall - although very, very slowly. It goes up or down with each song change but seems to never quite get back down to where it was when I started playing. Here are the memory usage numbers for playing songs (no other activity from the browser, etc.): 114460 after song 1 has started 115280 after song 2 has started 114480 after song 3 has started 114576 ... 115164 ... 114648 ... 115060 ... 114596 ... 114808 ... 115350 after song 10 has started This is small enough it is PROBABLY due to Windows Task Manager reporting errors, but just in case...
Not able to reproduce this with the 10/1 build.
