It seems that the radio is just not seeing your files. Several things could be wrong. A bit more info will help. 1. First, within the SbS on your MAC, do you see all your files, etc. in the web interface? You might also do a "clear and rescan" all music files to make sure your SbS has a clean database of all the music. Might as well go ahead and install the 7.51 as mentioned before you do this step, and then "clear and rescan" your music library. 2. Are your music files on a harddrive in your MAC or are they on an external (USB) drive? If an external drive, it is certainly possible that the drive letter mapping has changed, and SbS no longer "sees" the files. 3. Is the MAC wired to the internet (ethernet connection) or is it connecting with WIFI? If so, is it possible to connect the MAC directly to your router with ethernet? If both the SB Radio and the computer running SbS are wireless, then you have to wireless hops that have to be made. It is best if there is only one (that is Internet > modem > Router >wired>Computer > WIFI > SB RAdio. 4. Is the SB Radio connected with WIFI? If so, what is the WIFI signal strength (should be somewhere under information menu) 5. Another useful thing is to make sure that everything is connected by doing the following: a. turn off/unplug everything (computer, modem, router, sbradio) b. turn modem and router and let all reboot and connect to internet c. then turn on computer and reboot. let it run SbS and make sure it is running and accessible via the web interface d. Lastly, plugin SB radio and let it find your internet connection. This step #5 will typically help insure that your SB radio is seeing your router/internet. Good luck & let us know. EDIT: And one other thing, can you play INTERNET RADIO through your SB radio? That is, is your problem only with playing your own songs, but you can stream internet radio just fine. If this is true, your connection to the internet is probably fine, and it is something related to SBS not seeing your files. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78256 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
