Hi all,
Ive been a long time LMS user with SlMP3 and Squeezebox frontends.
Recently, I added a couple of Jogglers as controllers.
Its all fine when it works, but it doesnt quite work most of the time.
I think its because the hardware is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Also, my familys

Around Chirstmas time, I bought 2 Jogglers.
After initial learning curve, I got them both set up well and the family
were enjoying them.
Things have declined since then. :-( No one touchest them any more
because they are both so unreliable.
Sometimes the display is just very unresponsive.
