Hi
It has been 2 years since the Radio and Touch announcements (sep '09),
and still no sign whatsoever of any new hardware in the pipeline.
Your guess is as good as mine, but is the SB hardware at the
end-of-the-line or what ?

Gary, I must check that; it may be that the problem is ok on the CD rips

Now that the Revue and Squeezebox are getting fused together via
Squeezebox-server/LMS, Logitech will kill Squeeze the day that they
pull the plug on Revue. And that day is just around the corner.
The only positive sign I see is that the few software

All that said, do you see a problem with the SS version and firmware

BTW, besides the WOL issue, I am now having lots of 'rebuffering'

Also, have you used something like netstumbler or vistumbler to see what

I hope the day doesn't come where I regret not stocking up on SB Touch's

To remove the stand on the Touch, you need a Torx driver though, don't

They accept it due to the low numbers so far.
For iPeng they did already state that they would not allow it.
Their contracts with their content partners would not allow letting

Another observation the iPad is considered a player of it's own not tied
to a specific software , so I can juggle it between iPeng and
SqueezePlay both SBS/LMS and mysb.com sees it as one player.
And I have one Mikael's iPad on mysb.com ?
