But, the OP is talking mostly about connection issues. There are far smarter folks on this list than I that might be able to figure this out, but I'm wondering if some of this may have to do with which of Rhaposdy's servers (in combo with whatever ISP you use) your music is being served through and how sensitive ones particular setup is to that combination and its dropped bits, etc....whatever causes these types of gremlins to happen.
The wide variability of experiences with Rhapsody (mine is about 99.8 % reliable---it'll go for hours and hours w/out interruption) within this community suggests that there is probably more than one variable that's at work.....Which is, of course, the frustrating part. I agree, though....Squeeze + Rhapsody is a fabulous combination, especially when you throw Pandora in the mix as a sort of "music finder". Like something you hear on Pandora????........stick it on your Rhapsody playlist and, voila. This is totally cool stuff!!! ajkidle;522410 Wrote: > For my 2 cents, I'll agree that Rhapsody is temperamental on the > Squeezebox.
