Squeezeplay cannot play WMA (i.e. asx URL) natively. I think LMS on
Netgear does not support WMA transcoding.  So WMA stream will not play
on the Squeezplay client nor will the WMA stream play if other players
which can play WMA natively (e.g. Touch , Radio, Boom) are synced to the
Squeezeplay player (i.e. because LMS has to transcode to support WMA on
Squeezeplay).

I'm not sure but I think squeezelite might be able to play WMA natively
under Windows - if it can then I suggest you could replace replace
Squeezeplay with Squeezelite/Jivelite combo.  This would be better as
squeezelite supports AAC (as does Touch and radio but not boom) and so
would not require LMS to transcode.
