Your problem sounds similar to mine. I don't know what is causing your problem, but maybe if you look at my problem that will give you some clues.
I have a WRT54GS router too. Before that I had the WR*K*54G (That's NOT the same as the WR*T*54G), which was terrible. The WRK54G was a piece of crap. The WRT54GS seems to be better. After quite a while of very irritating playback problems, I just figured out that the problem goes away if I'm wired by ethernet cable to the router. My squeezebox and an external drive (with mp3s) are both attached to the wireless router. Ideally, I want to have the wireless connection from ly laptop to the router. The laptop (W2K) running slimserver has a WPC54GS Notebook adapter also from Linksys. The problem was present over a range of slimserver updates. I described my problem in a lot of detail here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=13451&highlight=wireless+album My problem files always display correct ID info on the squeezebox too. But the problem is very consistent: it plays the first 10 seconds, then jumps to the next song. The problem always effects a whole album, every time I have checked. I'm curious if your problem affects whole albums. Actually, rereading your original post, I think you could be having my problem plus an additional problem. For me, I think this issue is my last problem with the squeezebox before I can say I'm in musical nirvana. I've been tinkering for months to get it to work, and most of the time battleing multiple problems that have bizarre properties as I upgrade the components and the configuration of my home network. I was surprised that a problem like mine seemed to be resolved by connecting by ethernet to the router. So I've only just realized that it's a wireless problem. I don't have any ideas yet. In my case, it doesn't make sense that only whole albums would skip. I can't find any rhyme or reason to the albums that are affected. Often, it's about 1/2 of an artists ablums, so it's really annoying. So some questions for you: Does the problem go away if your computer is wired to your router? When you have a track that won't play, have you ever observed the whole album to have the same problem? -- bejammin075 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
