u can be with him, but that really doesn't matter.  you were able to
figure it out b/c ur technically minded.  many users aren't.  if this
kind of comparison was available it would at least be something a user
or their sbs install could report to logitech support as somethng to be
looked at.  it may or may not resolve a given issue, but surely it would
be wise to ask, for instance, "hey, why is your DB file a gig?" when
most peoples don't exceed 75megs or so if that happened to be the top of
the overall median avg.

i'm amazed you were able to figure out the issue on the infrant.  had
it happened to me, i seriously doubt either i or logitech support,
without such auto-feedback, would have been able to figure it out.

my original reason for getting a SB was to listen to my radio station. 
it has never been reliable in this regard.  some days its rock solid,
other days its unworkable, rebuffering like a cadet in OCS.  meanwhile,
winamp has never, NEVER had any kind of sustained, repeating issue, i
can always get the station on wireless on my laptop even in my yard. 
the SB simply isn't as robust.

i even got andy to include the "force proxy" feature (duplicating what
it does if you sync multiple players) for just one player, and even this
did not fix the issue.  people even questioned if it was happening (it
was) and frankly i gave up and just deal with its lameness in this
regard.

but before i did so, i did suggest in these forums, for the first time
by me, an "auto-feedback" feature where the SB and/or SBS could report
back what what is going wrong to logitech, and that could be used not
only to troubleshoot/support, but improve development b/c the devs would
see what was having problems!

some people just don't want to believe the SBS paradigm isn't perfect,
and they poo poo a logical, sensical idea as this, but sniping at it
with lameness like "it'll only apply to those who opt in."  well guess
what?  lots of apps and operating systems, including microsoft work with
data from "only those users who opt in" and i don't think they do it and
spend the resources to do it b/c its worthless.  automatic error
reporting is GREAT for getting programs to be better.

and if they had it, i daresay the issue with listening to a simple
stream from my radio station would at least be properly diagnosed if not
totally fixed/resolved, which to this day, it still is not.
