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.

By any chance are you switching between LMS server and MySB.com
online
server? If yes, Favorites are stored on the server to which you are
connected.

yep, it takes a while to get your hand around this. The critical thing
to understand at the moment is where the radio gets its music. There
are TWO possibilities:
1. mysqueezebox.com (this is the Logitech Media Server (LMS) in the
cloud rather than sitting on a computer at your house). You can listen
to internet radio, music services such as Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM,
etc. (some of these require a separate paid account).
[To add more confusion this used to be called SqueezeNetwork and LMS
used to be SqueezeBoxServer (SbS), SqueezeCenter (SC).]
2. Logitech Media Server (LMS). This is installed on your local
computer. It does everything that mysb.com does AND it allows you to
load your own music files on your computer and play those as well with
your Radio. In setting up the LMS on your computer, you do have to
click on the icon in your tray, click on control panel, then the
Account tab. Here enter your mysqueezebox.com credentials and hit
apply.
If you have your own music files you should click on the library tab,
and give it a name (e.g. Gary's Music Library) and most importantly
click the ADD button and locate the music folder on your computer
where these music files are located. This is your media folder. Best
to have all music files in one location (can be separate
subdirectories, but the top directory should be something like c:\my
music, etc.).
3. Now the confusing part. Your favorites on your local LMS are NOT the
same as the favorites on mysqueezebox.com. The good news is that they
sorta are. That is, when on LMS and you go to favorites, you should see
a listing for on mysqueezebox.com and you'll see them there. This
assumes you set up your mysb.com credentials in LMS as mentioned
above.
But the other confusing thing is that if you are connected to LMS and
then save a favorite, it will save it on LMS but NOT on
mysqueezebox.com. But you'll get the hang of this.
If all you do is listen to internet radio, you should probably always
just connect to mysqueezebox.com. I'm not at home with my Radio, but
you need to figure out how to add a HOME menu item to the RADIO that
says switch to mysqueezebox.com so you can easily find it. Currently
its hidden in something like settings advanced networking. If you
are on mysqueezebox.com, you won't see the option. To switch to local
LMS, you select my music and it should offer you the name of your
local music library (e.g. Gary's Music Library).
Good luck. And you'll find lots of help here. just ask. And once you
get the hang of all this, it will not be nearly as confusing!
