I've got 4 sqzbxes and now use rhapsody as my primary source of music--maybe 80% of the aggregate time (the other 20 being with mp3tunes locker--I've got all my cds digitized and sitting on an external hard disk but rarely use slimserver anymore (!) but that's a whole 'nother story.). It works

I generally have periods where Rhapsody works fine... and then periods where it's buggy as hell, even though my desktop plays back fine. That said, I tend to always be in a constant state of beta testing (using SqueezeCenter 7 right now and connecting to SqueezeNetwork Beta too)! *shrugs* I

Once again, I'm receiving the Internal Rhapsody Error...unable to authenticate... message when trying to use Rhapsody. I've been a longtime SB user and supporter, but I'm tired of the endless frustration in using it with Rhapsody. Even when there isn't a full blown error, there are constant

And yes - I also get occasional drop outs, skips and hang ups with Rhapsody on the SB3 that do not occur with the Rhapsody PC client. I think that the buffering of the SB3 is more sensitive to network disruptions. Or perhaps it is a firmware bug. Or a server-side issue. Still it works ok most of

Personally, I've been giving Rhapsody quite a workout lately (including plenty of whole albums, queued up one after the other) and I have had no problems at all. I do sometimes have drop-outs with last.fm, but I'm yet to experience that with Rhapsody. -- smc2911

I used to have a lot of problems with Rhapsody and other services before I changed ISP's. After that the SB3 performed flawlessly. Recently, I switched ISP's again for one offering more bandwidth at a cheaper price. All my old problems came back and after a few days I switched back to the

I have had no problems with Rhapsody. Ive been using it since the really old days of RealSlim so the integration was very important to me. No issues. I'm running wired though, didnt see if you were running wireless. Ive tried Roku, its not a stable device. -- JimB

FWIW, I'm running wireless and have had two different ISPs. Also, I have plenty of bandwidth. What confuses me the most is why is it that I can sit here and flawlessly stream rhapsody through the rhapsody player in my laptop but if I try to play it on my SB2 via the SqueezeNetwork, I have
