Hi, Yesterday I bought a Squeezebox Classic, to be able to wireless connect the music on my MAC with my stereo. After using it for a while, I found a few problems. First, I turned off iTunes support, but for some reason SqueezeCenter insists on scanning the iTunes library and the music in there shows up on my Classic. How can I stop it from doing so? (The real music is on an external drive). Second, when the Classic is playing music and I turn off my mac, the Classic tries to reconnect indefinitely to the SqueezeCenter. Is there some way to teach it to turn off (which seems more logical to me), at the moment I have to pull the plug to make it do something useful (that is, I want to sleep and do not want to put the mac back on).
Is the firmware on the Classic also open source? There are a few thinks which I do not really like: -It doesn't remember the last menu position from which I played a track, pressing the left button on the remote always returns to the main menu, instead of the previous location. That makes browsing and exploring my music very difficult as I always have to navigate back to where I left. -Sometimes (especially after it has just started playing its first song) it simply refuses do react to anything I do. It seems to be waiting for some server response, but doesn't realise that when I press the left arrow that it can completely forget about that response. I'm not interested in it anymore. -The music forward and backward buttons do not always work, although they do not seems to have any other meaning at other locations in the menu. -Search queries are not remembered. -"Alive kic" does not match "Alive and kicking". Seems that the space is treated as part of the query instead of as a keyword separator. -Skipping songs is very slow, probably because the Classic tries to play the song immediately. I think it would be better if it first display the title and then tries to actually play it. If I hit next before it can buffer/play, it can as well forget to do that and try again for the next song. It would probably improve how responsive the Classic feels. -The same holds for skipping back. I always have to press back twice for each song and it always plays the first block of audio data, no matter how fast I press the back button. First handling user input and than trying to play the song would probably improve that. If the firmware is open source, I might be able to fix some things my self. If not, I hope someone from Logitech is reading this :) Thanks in advance.
