It should not make any difference. Always select Clear Cache after a

WPA2 works fine on an SB3/Classic. Sure there are no spaces entered,
particularly at end of passphrase?
Couple of temporary things to try...
- Try disabling encryption all together, see if it connects

No it should not. New and changed scans only pick up embedded artwork.
The scan only looks for changes in MUSIC files and if you add e.g.

need to do a Clear amp; Rescan then.
