The solution was to move to Perl 5.8.8 It took me a couple days to go through all my software and make sure I would not have problems with other programs running perl 5.8.8 (It's amazing how much stuff has perl dependencies!) but last night I made the bold move and installed 5.8.8. >> So if nothing else, now you and I are looking at the same slimserver. >> I have many selections with artwork, and many without.

I absolutely love this module! And the best part is it is more functional than the squeezebox, and the mvp costs a third of the price. I really appreciate the work that you have done on this, and continue to do. And also, of course, I appreciate the help! -Dave
