Along the same lines as MrFantasy's post, note that Harmony remotes are also part of the Logitech family. So rather than do some bundle deal with the N800, they're probably working up something similar with the Harmony remotes on the Jive platform. That way they have tighter control over the pairi

I've been able to do some further diagonsis. When skipping forward during Random Mix, the ReadyNAS has to add a song to the upcoming playlist. This is where the dropouts are occuring, as Mark speculated. Changing the number of upcoming songs really won't matter, as it has to fill up the buffer

You don't need to load any software on the N800. The Nokia770 skin comes with slimserver, which is the software that runs on the computer that holds your music library, and serves the music to the squeezebox. When setting up slimserver, select the Nokia770 skin as your default. The N800 comes with
