Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Manual SB Radio firmware update - how?
Hi, everyone. I have to confess to being totally confused by the technical talk on this forum. 'Sorry. I bought a SB last year and was so disgusted about getting it set up I didn't use it for months. But now I have it set up to play Internet things like sports talk, Old-Time Radio, and news. I go to the "Favorites" file on the SB and it shows me a list of stations I've saved and I select one. Most of the time it works okay. Sometimes the stream won't play that day but will on another day. I don't understand why this happens, but I am familiar with the C.Crane WiFi radio and know that sometimes the radio needs to be reset by just unplugging it. I have never been notified that I need to do an update and wouldn't know how to do that unless it prompted me. I never go to anything on my PC (as far as the SB is concerned). I have the little icon on my bottom tray on my PC (Windows7) for the Logitech Media Server but I never open it. Should I? Any simple basic information would be much appreciated. I am not anxious to call Logitech Customer Service as they sure didn't help me when I first bought the SB. Thanks so much. B.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Where have my Favorites gone???
Boy, I'm sorry to be so dumb. I don't know anything about any server. I just turn the SB radio on and My Favorites aren't there. But does LMS mean the little turquoise "note" icon in my Startup tray for Logitech Media Server? I have never done anything to it. Was I supposed to change some settings on it? The first time I turned my SB on this morning, it just wouldn't work for anything, but after awhile "My Squeezebox.com" came up for the 1st time and I found my Favorites under it. I guess it's like my C.Crane radios ... I just have to play around with it and try different things. You all have been wonderful. I will call Logitech Tech Support this afternoon or Monday to try to get myself more educated. Thanks again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Newbie; a few questions to start
Thanks so much! I followed your instructions and found what I'd saved on TuneIn! Wonderful. Also thanks for the info on Favorites on the SB. I think I will be fine without worrying about making folders. I don't have that many. Thanks again.
