Seems that Apple have moved to Java SE6 with Snow Leopard and people are complaining. Maybe they will fix the problems in the first update together with Flash which went backwards. Perhaps I'll just sit tight. One day I'll learn not to update software until version .1 Viv

is that just a Microsoft invention? Interestingly the old 3.7 Softsqueeze does load properly - I installed it from the Extras menu in SC's web interface and the .app downloaded nicely. Must be some difference between the versions 3.7 v 3.9b1. Does that help narrow things down at all? Viv --

No, 7.2 wouldn't work on Snow Leopard and had to be replaced with 7.3.4 as documented in the SqueezeCenter forum. My initial post was therefore correct, that SS 3.9b1 wouldn't work on 7.2 under Snow L but incorrect since SC wasn't working either.
