Always educational to follow up your own posts:) After attempting to install the code provided here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=618422#post618422 And "service stop & start", and then "tuning in" to problematic iNet stations (RadioNZ National, BBC Radio4, BBC Radio3) I got the following errors: [root@mythtv squeezeboxserver]# service squeezeboxserver start Starting Squeezebox Server: [11-03-28 00:09:52.6415] main::init (323) Starting Squeezebox Server (v7.5.3, r31792, Mon Jan 24 08:18:00 MST 2011) perl 5.012003 [ OK ] [root@mythtv squeezeboxserver]# 110328 0:09:55 [Warning] '--skip-locking' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Would this be a misconfigured mplayer install or an SbS problem? Where to to debug? Also, a separate issue, there seems a fair amount of confusion where to put custom-convert.conf: should it go with convert.conf in /etc/squeezeboxserver/ or should it go in the SbS's root directory (/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/)?
