Haven't used SqueezePlay for a while since switching to Squeezelite but I never had any connectivity issues running it on Win 7. I don't recall it being necessary to run it as Administrator. Try switching to mysqueezebox.com: Settings Advanced Networking Then switch back to My Music.

Re: [slim] FM radio vs. Streaming for sound quality

2014-04-22 Thread Apesbrain
Given that broadcast FM stereo is capable of audio performance roughly on par with the LP there is no correct answer to your question. (I don't know whether cable radio offers the same performance.) It's probably safe to say that for a station geographically close enough the FM signal will
