First, let me clarify to some of the folks that posted that I am not entirely non-techie. I have no issue with networks, wireless or other. I run and maintain a MPLS network and am *the* IT department (as part of my job)for our company of 250 employees spread over 4 locations. I have programed a few CISCO routers and baby, those aren't anything like the silly little LinSys routers some folks allude to. I've been adept at electronics and mechanical things all my life. I can sweat copper pipe as well as any plumber. I've always said there's nothing you can't do if you spend the time.
And there's the key to this. **Spend the time**. Yesterday, when I got off from work I, like many, stopped by home depot and bought a few plumbing items. I needed to change the handle on a toilet, sweat in a new hose bib and splice a CPVC connection. All easy enough, but afterward I want to LISTEN TO MUSIC!!! I never wanted the DUET to become another project. Period. No, not even for a moment. I think burning 500 CD's should be the project, not making the SB work. O.K., so yesterday, after listening to some of the advice here, I set up a Windows PC with SC on it. It's a 3.4Ghz P4 with 2GB of memory. Should work fine. And it did. Much faster, no hang ups, not glitchy. Nice. However.......I installed the XM plugin and still no XM on the controller unless you start it in SC. Also, and here's the biggest pain with the XM plug-in (and it's done it on both machines) when I run a scan of my music files it wipes out my XM favorites. Every single time. I have my favorites on a folder on the PC and not where my music files are so it's not that. I realize that when I run a scan it checks the favorites folder and the play lists so I'm guessing it does have something to do with that. I don't imagine Logitech will help me on a 3rd party plug-in, so any of you guys who like to fool with this rather than listen to music have any ideas? In closing, so far what I've gained by moving SC to a PC is much faster response (I really wasn't bugged by the speed of my ReadyNAS), not so glitchy of an UI (That is a bit nice) and nothing else. I still have the same XM issues and I have to admit to not having tried switching from SN to SB yet to see if that is still weird. Any ideas?? Thanks again and a great day to all.
