S.,

OK, got it. It sounds like there's a proprietary/design issue as well.
Thanks for the thorough explanation.

Well, it's unfortunate that the SB3 cannot/will never be able to load
(or even save) a custom configuration however small without connecting
to a server. I'm not sure whether or not it would be feasible for a user
community to establish some alternative web hosting sites that would
allow at least some (or even a great deal of) user customization beyond
the mysqueezebox.com's 'Favorites' menu and handful of app
installations. If so, I'd think it would have happened already, given
the problems reported here with the SN->MSB. Perhaps it wasn't
previously clear that 'mysqueezebox.com' would not develop more quickly
(for example in what has been done with Plugins with SS).

Does the Touch then perhaps have the hardware needed to first allow and
then and save configurations between restarts (say a URL list of 12
favorites, and a display tweek or 2 beyond firmware)? Thereby
eliminating the need for additional Server connections at every start
after an initial setup? If so, too bad they somehow lost the supply of
displays for a 'Classic II'.
