Michael: Thanks so much for all of your assistance.
I'm trying to understand how I set up LMS on my *Windows 10 PC* so that it is not reliant upon a connection to mysqueezebox.com. Simply trying to plan for the eventual disappearance of mysb.com. I currently have LMS 7.9.1 installed. I'm having trouble trying to find a step by step set of instructions to set it up. Someone on the forums sent me a couple of screen shots showing his/her setup screen where a simple selection on startup will activate or deactivate the mysqueezebox.com connection (I'm attempting to attach the link here). Is there something that you can point me to that will help me? I'm not a network person so I'd need something very basic. See message #104 from kidstypike at this link: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108930-Cannot-Connect-to-mysqueezebox-com-from-Squeezebox-Radio/page11 Thanks, Dom (ciarmer) On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 5:06 PM, Michael Herger <s...@herger.net> wrote: > Are you a Logitech employee or independent like us? >> > > I'm still a fulltime Logitech employee, though no longer in the music > business.
