You want the latest versions, 7.2. If you go back far enough in the forum archives you'll read some pretty negative things about every version that was ever released. :) > 2.)

Be meticulous in ripping your CD library to hard disk and be anal about keeping it backed up so that you never lose all your hard work. Before it's done you may come to realize that the most valuable part of the entire computer/Squeezebox system will be the time that you've invested in ripping your library and making sure that it's correctly and thoroughly tagged. The Squeezebox is far and away the most dispensable piece in the equation. If you decided to replace it next year with a PC or Mac plus a USB DAC, or else some other standalone player, then you'll be able to retain the most valuable system component - the library. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53648 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
