Try dLAN plugs (e.g.Devolo) to get you round the blackspot. Basically
they will give you a LAN using mains wiring and can be used in

Something like

If I shut off Volume Adjustment on my Squeezebox the problem goes away.
Sounds like this is a bug in the code that interprets iTunes volume
adjustment tag.
As a side note, I learned a few things about iTunes. The volume
adjustment tag is stored in the mp3 and the iTunes library (itl and xml

Biomech is right that that this is due to controling the 770 instead of

This is regarding bug # 259. What about using IP multicasting to

data stream.
