That's correct. If you are only after playback, however, you might not have to wait that long since there are already a few alternatives: 1. Open http://your server:9000/stream.mp3 in the Safari browser. You can start the stream, put it in the background (yes, QuickTime can multitask) and then

I don't have a transporter (wish I did!) so take this with a grain of salt: For PC listening (where I sit through most of most days) I had been using my PC's SPDIF out to a receiver, with ralphy's excellent squeezeslave. Sounded pretty good through nearfield monitors. Ralphy came out with an ASIO

For some reason, scanner.exe arbitrarily starts up and runs on its own with no input from me. I have a large library, so this drags my (Win XP) PC to its knees and I can't get any work done. (It also makes me nervous to hear my hard drive pounding away with a live Internet connection.) This

My Squeezebox doesn't seem to turn on anymore, even when the server is running. I've tried unplugging it several times, plugging it in somewhere else, everything. Remote control doesn't seem to do anything to it either. Any suggestions or is it now just a cool looking paper weight? -- thekidct

First, are you sure the brightness isn't all the way down, so it just looks like it's not turning on? If that's not the case, you might try removing the wifi card inside. It seems to be a common failure. Sometimes it can just be re-seated, but usually it's a failed card. It's at least worth a

I'd try checking out the power supply as well. Maybe the wall wart power device has gone bad and can be replaced. How you would go about checking this, absent another SB3, I have no idea. When it is plugged in do you see a red light coming from the Optical port on the back? -- toby10

I do see a red light in the back when it's on. The unit is actually warm when it's plugged in so I think it's getting power. One other thing, when I go to Web Control, it doesn't show the SB playing anything even when I try to make it play something. -- thekidct

The first time is always the longest. If you've added a bunch of tracks to your library just scan your whole library again and you'll see that foobar will just update the tracks that don't have replaygain yet, so the next time will be quite quick. Minute or two per album on my PC. -- lrossouw
