I experienced this as well. I was pretty psyched to get my SqueezeBox last week, but it did this (stopped playing at the start or end of a song in my case) a couple of times. Stability is definitely the highest priority for me, so this is ashame. I am returning the unit, and I am a bit bummed, as it seems cool in most respects (the other glitch I noticed were flickering pixels at different brightness levels - a problem noted in another thread).
Maybe when this freeze problem becomes known and fixed, and if a hardware or software fix is available for the pixel issue, I'll reconsider. For now, I am putting my old AudioTron back in service. Too bad, since I like to support open source products. -Joe kefa Wrote: > neither of the bugs listed above seem to address the issue I am > experiencing.
