Thanks. I've set the port to 9001, but I don't want to test it 'till I have to -- I don't want all the trouble of waiting and worrying for it to connect :o I'll report back when the next reboot occurs. mandryka's Profile:

Thanks and understood. Their stream was better to my hears back in May. I am comparing with another RTBF station, PureFM where it's obvious: the stream quality of that other station is much better. I am afraid they are mostly dedicated and testing their stream to iPhone/iPad user. E.g. it is

Try an Xilink reset: remove power from the SB3, then point the IR remote at the player and hold down the 1 button on the remote. While still holding down the 1 button, re-apply power to the SB3. NB: Sometimes a third hand is helpful for the above maneuver.

Hmm. Check the server log (in the web ui go to Settings Information tab Logitech Media Server Log File) and post anything interesting -- such as error messages -- here. Is the progress bar on the web ui doing anything? Was the Classic working correctly before? How about the volume level?

You need an App :) There's a free one from Logitech and iPeng from me (not free). Search the App Store for Squeezebox. If you run the server, everything else you need is WiFi --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and *New: Logitech UE Smart Radio* as well as

You can add tracks to the end of the playlist. That's the idea behind iPeng party: it's a party app that does allow your guests to add tracks but not to change or destroy your overall playlist or otherwise manipulate your player (synchronization, volume,...) --- learn more about iPeng, the
