Exactly! I've taken exactly this approach myself after losing out on valuable listening time to an effort to recover after installing a version of SC that didn't work well in my environment. Also, the entire family relies on this system now, so I'm not the only one impacted. FWIW, I think the Duet has become quite stable at this point. As I've mentioned in other posts, my brother just purchased a Duet and had absolutely no troubles setting it up using 7.3.3, and he is no computer expert - though he knows he has me to support him if all goes south. To the OP - best of luck with your new setup. Sorry to hear that the squeezebox products weren't able to meet your needs. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver. SuSE 11.0 Server running SqueezeCenter 7.3.3, MusicIP, and SqueezeSlave. Current library stats: 27,698 songs, 2,304 albums, 439 artists. http://www.last.fm/user/maggior Looking forward to new Porcupine Tree, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, and The Beatles Box set. September will be an expensive month :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67040 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
