people that you don't ferociously hate. Not even for a technical savvy

Most of the real annoying issues are related to MYSB. Obviously the

p.s. There are several NASCAR specific stations and podcasts via the

Never tried them myself, more an F1 fan myself, but I know I've seen

My only complaint is the back-up alarm, otherwise I have no problems.
I don't have a sbserver (I only use mysqueezebox.com).

I can't recommend it as a gift yet, or even for a guest bedroom. I was
going to order two for reasonably tech savvy friends, but decided
against it.
The UI is hardly intuitive; people can pick up an iPod and figure it
out, but not the SqueezeBox.
Integration with iTunes is still fair, at best.

True, although pretty meaningless. Firstly too few ratings, secondly
all positive ratings done a few days after purchase and from people who

MySqueezebox.com didn't exist before the release of 7.4.0. So it's
impossible you used it for 4 years. Its predecessor was
squeezenetwork.com, but this was a slightly different type of beast.
I assumed that went without saying. I haven't noticed any change
