How does it work?!

Hi - I'm a recent convert from Siplifymedia and Orb Networks. My primary use is streaming by wifi to my Ipod touch. With Simplify and Orb I had to start Winodws and then startup those respective programmes. With Subsonic, I simply have to switch the PC on and, even if I leave it just at teh Winodws account loging page, Subsonic streams to my Ipod. It's brillianrt - but how? Just interested really.

In the windows install the Subsonic install program adds the subsonic server as a "service" to your installation of Windows.

"Services" can be set to start when Windows boots up so that's why you don't need to run extra programs on your machine because once you've started Windows Subsonic is already running.
