both excellent points. p.s. I think MOG has started up in Australia and it works well with squeezeboxes (add in myapps at mysb.com). And the cheap paid version (4.99 in the US) is enough to make it work on your SBs. I moved from Spotify to MOG. Seems to be same selection, but works better with SBs with less hassle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95885 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
