OK, did some cursory testing with codec in mind. It appears that I gave some inaccurate information the first time around. Codecs are definitely a determining factor in this problem. What I can do: -With an Mp3: Anything. Any combination including all three devices at once. I can switch to other mp3s and mess with the playlist. Everything plays, no crashing. -With the Squeezebox and my phone synched: Mp3 or AAC (Apple Lossless) files. No problems here at all. -With the Squeezeplay and my phone synched: only Mp3; switching to AAC (Apple Lossless) causes the album art to show, the track timing to run, but no sound to come out of either device. When I close iPeng, the music starts playing on Squeezeplay. When I open iPeng again, the music stops and iPeng eventually crashes. To fix this I need to clear the playlist before it crashes. Then it crashes again. Reopen and play an Mp3. -With all three devices synched the behavior is the same as when I just have the Squeezeplay and the phone synched. -Lastly, the Squeezebox and Squeezeplay play nice together with AAC or Mp3. So, there is a clear solution: don't use AAC if I want my phone and Squeezeplay to work together. But I encode much of my music on an external hard drive in FLAC, and then store it on my computer in AAC so I can get it onto my iphone. This way I have my library backed up, I have high quality music, and I can still use idevices and share music with my flacphobic friends. My questions now are... 1) Why is this happening/Is this expected? 2) Is their a potential fix? 3) Would it be different if I was using FLAC for my lossless music? I can see that you are very dedicated to answering the many questions you receive, and to improving the product based on user feedback. Thank you! And thank you for an excellent product... even if it is giving me a bit of trouble at the moment.
