Just in case you haven't already discovered it yet, you can customize which items appear on the Touch's home menu via Settings Home menu. Also, SBS 7.6.0 (currently alpha/beta) allows for some more customization. I know it allows re-ordering the home menu, but I don't remember if it also allows customization of sub-menus. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84273 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I also looked at the manual at MySqueezebox.com. It only survived the 'No LazySearch' conversation when I demonstrated it was possible to type it in on the screen but I failed to find a 'Play Next' (insert into current playlist, next) option when pressing and holding 'Add' on the remote added it to the end of the playlist. We'll give it a couple of days as it's new and I'm sure it does things we haven't figured out yet but at the moment I suspect one of us, not sure which one yet, will be suggesting it goes into a 'mostly listen only' room.

Don't just bin it. There've been a few folks here whose V3 display panels have died.

That looks an interesting solution but I have a number of Squeezeboxes scattered around the house and garage - 4, well 3 now v3 and 1 v2 - with another second-hand v3 on its way via eBay for another room. All bar one of these are generally synchronised. I'll be buying something to fit into this system so I'm locked into Squeezebox.

As per my original post, I tried it with a different power adapter. This one is one of several we have so it was easy to check with a different adapter. I've been trying to think when it last worked and I have a feeling it may have been before the last upgrade I did to 7.5.2 which was a few days ago. I'm clutching at straws here as all the other Squeezeboxes are fine but if something went awry during the firmware upgrade would a factory reset have resolved that?

[slim] It's Dead Jim :'(
I just noticed that the display on the Squeezebox Classic 3 in the kitchen was off. Further checking reveals that the unit seems to be dead - no display, no light on the TOSLink (I'm not sure there would be if it wasn't playing music), no visibility of the unit on Squeezebox Server. Factory reset (+ key while powering on) doesn't do anything and I've tried a different power supply to no avail. It hasn't been dropped or even moved so I guess it's just given up the ghost. It has the Slim Devices logo on the front so we've had it a while. Am I correct in thinking the only thing I can do with it is put it in the bin and see if I want to buy a Touch? Thanks.

Is it wireless. If the wifi card dies the unit won't power up, but you can remove the card (it's loose, not sodered in) and either use it with a cable or get a replacement.

I'm in the UK and by the time I add in import duty etc. it will be a lot more than that. Amazon.co.uk don't have any unfortunately. Somewhat ironically I bought a second-hand one yesterday on eBay but that was for another room. There are a few more on eBay but now I know they can just die without any warning I'm a bit wary of buying another second-hand one.

Re: [slim] It's Dead Jim :'(
The exact same thing happened to me. One day my SB3 worked. The next day it appeared totally dead. Removing the wireless card didn't help either. I have an Apple Airport Express card which I've used as a wireless extender. I connected it to my stereo and, by using Apple's free Remote app, can control iTunes with my iphone and again stream music to my stereo. It seems to work fine and for the $3.50 cost of the cable have basically replicated my SB3. (The Airport Express card lists for over $100, but is widely available on eBay for about $60.) -- DAVIDGR DAVIDGR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84273 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
