For years there have been two ways to use squeezebox devices - 1) "out of the box" - direct to a "web server" mysqueezebox.com, where you get an account, add favorites, use services like Pandora, etc. In this configuration you don't need a "server" running on a piece of hardware (e.g. PC, Mac, etc). But, with this method, you can't play music from your "library" (ripped and downloaded CD's). But it's a perfectly good (up until now) "internet radio" player. 2) The other method is to install Logitech Media Server, free, on a piece of hardware in your home. Alot more functionality, even back in the earlier days, much much much more so now. Its my understanding that when the squeezebox line was dropped, so was further development of mysqueezebox.com, but to their credit, Logitech (and Michael) keep it up and running for legacy purposes. Meanwhile, LMS has flourished in stability and functionality thanks to the develpers here and this community. So, mysb.com will never be fixed to solve issues that come up. It seems the radio stations are starting to switch to the "secure" https from http. Mysqueezebox.com will not play https (although some may "play" because the stream is redirected to a http). The frustration that you are experiencing is the same as a friend (250 miles away) I had setup using just mysqueezebox.com, complaining to me his stations were dying. I sent him a raspberry pi running picoreplayer (under $50USD) to stop the complaints :). So, it you have a pc, mac, NAS, etc for now, just download LMS (I think you can get it from mysb.com - ??) and give it a try. Go to the "Logitech Media Server" category in this forum for help.
