Logitech Media server has had many years since the old Slim Devices days to work out all the bugs associated with player control software. I ,like others here bought the original Slim Devices Squeezebox and I can tell you the software back then was loaded with bugs. Today,LMS stands as probably the best software in its class even though the hardware is no longer manufactured. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jimmypowder's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61215 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
