Could it be that the SB will play WMA but Softsqueeze won't or is it
the case if Softsqueeze doesn't neither will the SB

Softsqueeze does not decode WMA - it needs Slimserver to do it.
On Linux this is normally done by ffmpeg or mplayer. These app will
work on a MIPS processor but decoding will be slow as MIPS processor
does not have hardware Floating Point support.
Ffmpeg or mplayer could work for WMA files but
Thanks for the information BPA. So long as the Squeezebox can play it I
am happy. That is what I set it up for. I just didn't want to have to
re-rip several hundred albums.

It might be worth using mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en) or similar to
examine the tags on the offending mp3 file. It could be a case of

Don't forget azinck3's comments.
By default WMP will put protection on files you have ripped into WMA.
Squeezebox cannot play protected WMA files.
Did you explicitly turn off protection in WMP when you ripped your
files ?

As I understand it, that is very unlikely to happen. Slimserver is
open source, but Pandora is closed source, and so Pandora cannot be

Problem resolved. It ended up being a firewall issue, not with

based on a significant hard disk clean-up effort.

The MP3 option requires the lame application to be installed. Lame is
not installed as part of slimserver - you have to download your own
copy (version 3.96.1 is good) for your OS and install it.

Ok, I may have been a bit hasty. Using Mplayer seems to work fine, but
as you go further into the play list it starts to jump and becomes dog

What procedure are you using to upgrade?
