dim. My wife has a mathematics degree from Oxford University (which I
think qualifies her as Not Dim), but she's not that enamoured of our

I'm using 7.6.0 on a Sheevaplug.
With 7.6.2 you mean the dismissed beta version? (it looks like they
are going for the 7.7).
Does it really solve my problem? You know, installing a dismissed beta

Might be picking up one of these, original Slim Devices SB3's.
If I upgrade the firmware to the latest release, will it be the
equivalent of the last of the Logitech branded SB3's or are there
internal hardware differences?
Also, can I upgrade the PSU for it by using a SB Touch psu which is

Hi,
I've had my squeezebox classic for a few years, and recently discovered

There is absolutely no hardware difference. Even the older Squeezebox 2,
which is internally nearly identical to the SB3, can run the latest

Is it right the SB3 and Touch voltage and input plug are identical
too?
In other words can I use a Touch PSU with the SB3?

I've also looked at a few Android apps and found SqueezeCommander to be
well worth the small price.
Rather similar to iPeng, which is no bad thing.

It can be a generational thing ? They have been told that they can't.
The young girls who wear down thier thumbs on cellphones all day would

They are also to smart to be audiophiles, and a squeezebox can be a
