It occurs to me that there seems to be no error handling in the LMS code at all. LMS expects to get the track information back from mysb.com, and when it doesn't, it just fails. If it knew enough to look for the 502 errors and try again instead of just silently failing, we'd be in business. Is

This article is mostly on what iTunes can do. For some things iTunes can't do the article mentions that Sonos and Squeezebox can do them. I guess these folks haven't caught up with Logitech killing Squeezebox yet.

I'm afraid I don't have any links to share. I got this the old fashion way, face to face discussion with a Logitech reseller. On another note, I read that DTS bought over Phorus, a company that developed a technology to stream music from Android phones via wifi. DTS has marketed this IP as a
