I've been using SC7 (originally in beta) for a month or so now, and it's been rock solid. The improvements in stability and usability definitely make it worth upgrading in my opinion. I've had no problems with AlienBBC, but I did clear out all traces of 6.5.4 before installing, which may make a

Thanks Creeky, but - crikey - I think I might follow danco's advice and wait a bit. Much as I'd like to enter the fabulous new world of Squeezecentre, I might just follow the if-it-ain't-broke maxim. Or am I missing out, people? Is Squeezecentre 7 really that great, or has the change of name

If there isn't a bug fix or enhancement you've been waiting on, then there's no compelling reason for you to upgrade to SC7 at the moment. I can't think of any major new features in SC7 that I use that weren't available with 6.5.4. The clincher for me was getting hold a firmware enhancement for

I think I know why SqueezeCenter was not starting at login although start at login was shown as selected when I opened the preference pane. My guess is that it picked up start at login from the SlimServer 6.5 installation, and had never actually done the procedure to put an entry in the login

Hmm, apparently an exciting new piece of software has arrived ... and there's no mention of how you install it. Or am I missing something obvious? Or am I really at sea with a load of nerds? I have a Mac and am happily running 6.5.4. Anyone care to help by telling me how I get 7 on to my

Installation is same as for earlier versions. That is, the downloaded item is a .dmg . Double-click on it (it is a disk image) and run the installer. It's very different from the old SlimServer in its design. Most plugins for 6.x won't work on 7, but many of them have new versions for 7. I have

I have already run into a couple of problems, and also worked out what seem to be solutions for them (seem to be rather than are, because I would like to run things more than once to be convinced, and I am almost asleep now). Initially I couldn't get SqueezeCenter to run at login (installed for
