i see the problem now... when first buffering, it only shows percent. BUT when it actually starts to play, in the right corner, it shows seconds. if i hit now playing (which i need to since i use the analog vu) i can see the seconds again at a later time. it would be neat if when its initially buffering, it would also show seconds buffered, as opposed to showing seconds only after it starts playing momentarily.

Glad your ISP seems to have improved. :) well, i would guess it would, but since i don't know exactly when SD introduced the change, and since i don't know exactly what was goin on when at adelphia/comcast, i can't say for sure. but if SS could buffer more, (like winamp can), then i would assume it would have been better. b/c at no time did winamp ever have a problem, isp issues or no. now, maybe SS doesn't buffer as much as winamp does, i don't know... but it surely buffers more than SB can. my only point in all of this is that IF there is trouble at your isp, that you may not be aware of b/c surfing or winamp or whatever else you use is fine, you MIGHT run into an issue with SB, b/c the SB is not robust enough to compensate for it. thats what i'm taking away from all of this anyway. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.1 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29287 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
