Hi I'm enjoying my 30 day Napster trial and I am considering a subscription. However, I'm put off by the way my personal music library is presented on the SBC. There does not seem to be a way to list the music by album, only by artist. A PITA when many of the albums are by various artists.

No. Squeezeslave only talks to SC using slimprotocol, it does not access music files directly. When a new player is created, it defaults to bandwidth limiting enabled at 320kbps, if you don't have lame installed, SC thinks it's playing okay, when in fact it isn't. Try changing the SS player
