Hi everyone, I own a SlimDevices (yes!) Squeezebox 3 (Classic) which was running fine for the past few years. Since 3 or 4 weeks it randomly reboots. Sometimes every 10 minutes, sometimes every two or three hours. Has anyone got similar problems? Does anyone know how to debug this? Are there any

Might be the power supply (wall wart). Or it could be simply a loose connection, try *jiggling* the cable end of the power input on the SB3, see if it loses power. toby10's Profile:

It can also be a simple mechanical failure in the plug, so don't toss it if it's that, then it's probably easily fixable with a soldering iron. Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297

I'm not as active on the forums as previously, mainly due to a young family but I still love my Squeezebox set-up too. Listening to it is a daily part of life, I listen to a lot of music still and we often listen to music with our son, its always a big way for me to unwind and put my headphones

I agree, I made debugging more complicated by trying numerous things to get it working again, however, something created the initial problem, which I guess was a problem with the AAC feed for that particular BBC station. I then started changing and just confused things. Either that, or one time

Hi folks, I did a bit of a spring clean on my music collection over the weekend. I moved some music that I have not listened to in a while, to a back up drive. I have since tried to add some new music to my music folder but when I started the scan, it's been running for hours looking for the

The way it _should_ work is to run a new and changed scan when you add new tracks, and a full clear and rescan whenever you delete something or move its location on the drive, say, to a different folder. Sometimes the new and changed doesn't work even when it should, so in those cases you

Thanks aubuti, I aborted the scan,stopped the server, restarted it and completed a new scan. It completed in less than 20 mins. The previous scan seemed to be stuck on one file. I could see this happening when viewing the scan on the control panel. Thanks for your advice

I'll show my public love too. I bought a Boom and sync'd it with a server running on a media center Windows based laptop. Saw the potential for it, bought a readynas RAID array and switched the server to there; put the SqueezePlay client on the media center. So I have Squeezeplay in my mainroom

I have all my music stored on a network attached RAID array, over 6000 tracks. I'd like to create some playlists now, I've never much used them in the past for either Squeezebox or other MP3 players. What are people using to create playlists and save them away? I assume something that would be

I rarely hand select my playlists any more. My collection has gotten too big, and Squeezebox makes it too easy to discover tracks I've forgotten I have. Most often I use MusicIP to generate playlists based on the acoustic fingerprint of one or more seed tracks. Kind of like Apple's Genius mixes,
