Cool - that's good news.
Regarding internet radio -- my problem is only with some streams, and I
get "chipmunks". I spent some time today with my non-programmer limited
abilities trying to figure out convert.conf and how to setup a custom
version. I set up this in custom-convert.conf:
mp3 mp3 squeezeslave 00:00:00:00:00:01
# F:{PATH=%f}R:{PATH=%F}B:{BITRATE=-B %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
[lame] --resample 44100 --silent --mp3input $FILE$ -
...turned on additional logging, and got this in server.log:

<snip>
The problem stream shows it is playing, but no audio. Other streams
that worked with this player now behave the same. Any advice would be
much appreciated. I've temporarily removed custom-convert.conf.
Regarding features and Windows:
It would be great if two (or more) SS players would sync in more cases.
I think you posted once that this was in issue. In my case, I can sync
2 SS players when playing my library or internet radio (the ones I don't
have a problem with). However, I can't sync 2 SS players when playing
Slacker. (I know the issue with Pandora.) Haven't tried others like
Shoutcast, etc. Don't know if that is addressed in your latest
version.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
