Thanks for replies everyone. I will download Squeezecente sometime today. No doubt as a silver surfer I will be on here asking questions. I already have a robertsWM-202 wifi internet radio, but it is not possible to listen to live 365 or last.fm, so a squeezebox will open new doors for me.

Thanks for the response. My iTunes library and the Squeeze Center are on the same box (a decent 3 year-old Athlon dual core PC). I think my disks may be slower than they should be (long story, but maybe twice as slow). I suppose this could account for the issue, but the whole things seems
