There are three pieces of software talking to each other; namely Squeezebox Server (SBS), Whitebear (WB) and Windows Media Player (WMP). So if you have SBS set to require authentication then there are indeed two authentication processes required: 1) WB must authenticate itself against SBS to browse the Content Directory, AND 2) WMP must authenticate itself against SBS to play MP3 music files [see note i) below] Notes: i) when playing music files transcoded into other formats than MP3, then Whitbear does the transcoding itself, so in such cases, WMP will not ask for authentication credentials ii) I don't recall exactly, but I think that when WMP asks for credentials, it has a "remember me" check box? So it should not be too bothersome in future. (But anyway, as I said, this is an issue between WMP and SBS, and Whitebear has nothing to do with it...) -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear.
