Not non-existent, but probably a little (or a lot) broken. > On the other hand, the Squeezebox server is much easier to customize, > and it gives you access to the music resident on your PC, as well as > internet stations.

I'm not sure mysqueezebox.com offers any advantage apart from not having to run a local server. Some things, such as services like Slacker, still use myqueezebox.com for authentication (it's a pretty odd arrangement, and prone to falling flat on its face, but that's the way it works), so there's still some communication with your mysb.com account. There's also some strange dependencies for menus that nobody really understands - installing and placing "apps" on the Home menu that may require the use of mysqueezebox.com even when the Radio officially thinks it's connected to the local SbS. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71020 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
