I know the samples are low quality-- they're samples. Hearing 30 seconds of most of the tracks on a album is the advantage of shopping music on the net. This is all the fault of the high-speed wireless capability. I'm listening to music on the stereo via the SB3 while controlling it with a wi

OK so it sounds like what you really need is a "Radio Tune In" option for SqueezeNetwork so you can quickly play something. Currently the only way to add something to play on SN is via the Favorites page. I will open an enhancement for adding this. -- andyg ---

You'd probably save yourself some trouble just listening to those 30-second samples in Windows Media Player, since you're already on your PC. They're low quality and IMO not worth the trouble of finding the URL and pasting into the web interface for play on the SB. -- andyg ---

I apologize if my explanation was not clear. Please forgive this long-winded one. Pandora introduces the user to new music by including information and links to Amazon. From their FAQ, they use the Genome project to "play songs that are musically similar to what you've told us." It happened

I came to love Jazz and discover high-end audio because of my MusicMatch player and account. It plays a genre and I click on an artist or album to learn more. I now own CDs and equipment (SB3) I never would have considered without this exposure. Only two feature developments stand in the way of

I think Dan just added universal binaries to the trunk for flac, mDNSResponder, mov123 and sox. I think the only binary you'll want to snag off the link shown above is lame. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://foru

I also use iTunes playlists. But my multiple players (4 SB2s) are all hard-wired, so it's not a network issue. Unless Gigabit Ethernet is too fast! I think that an earlier post in this or a similar thread may have tagged the real issue: Skip. I've been avoiding using Skip (hitting the FFwd button
