I've had Squeezebox/Slimserver for a while and have been quite happy,
which means my wife has been quite happy with it.  Last week my server
took a dump, and I rebuilt the OS drive (the data drives were
unaffected).  Yesterday I reinstalled Slimserver on it, first
downloading the latest version (7.1).  Slimserver then updated my
Squeezebox to the latest firmware.  I pointed Slimserver to my shared
music folder and to its original shared playlist folder.  All looked
normal.  The Squeezebox jumped right on the server and displayed
normally.  I didn't try to play any music with it, knowing my wife
would soon test it completely.

Tonight we tried it.  Fail.  It plays exactly 60 seconds of a song
(whatever song we select) and then repeats it - the same 60 seconds. 
Just try to listen to the first 60 seconds of any song 20 times and see
if you don't subsequently want to run an icepick into your own ears.

There are a number of other symptoms of whatever problem this is:

1.  Any selection of a new song doesn't take effect until the 60-second
"window" passes.
2.  Any selection of a new volume level, or "pause", or any other
setting, doesn't take effect until the same 60-second "window" passes.
3.  When a new song is selected, it too then plays for 60 seconds and
repeats, presumably forever.

I counted myself pretty competent with Slimserver.  I see no settings
that are out of the ordinary.  I've tried disabling the service, but
this does not stop the player from repeating 60 seconds of whatever
it's playing ad infinitum.

This may be of help.  This is repeated in the log every minute:

Please help.  Wife is looking very upset.
