If I understand your question correctly, you can have LMS read your iTunes library by using the iTunes integration plugin that comes with LMS. Look for it on the Plugins tab in the Settings page of the LMS web interface. Alternatively, you could simply point LMS to the folder on your computer wh

Some more info would be helpful. Are you listening to a local LMS or mysqueezebox.com? If LMS, is your server wired to the router, or is it also on wifi? Is it cutting out on local music files, streaming services, or both? Is there a possibility of wifi interference, be it from other wifi networks

It happened because it lost its connection to the server and was trying to reconnect. When you went to bed, was it connected to your local LMS, or to mysqueezebox.com? If it was LMS, it could be because the computer running LMS went into sleep/hibernate/shutdown. Or it could have been a temporary

Do you mean as in sending the audio from a movie or tv around the house? It is possible, but there is usually some latency, so the audio wouldn't be sync'd with the video. Not a problem in the rooms without the tv, but probably unbearable (or at least sub-optimal) for trying to watch the video/mov

The wiki (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/) seems to have been down for at least a week or so. If you need to re-download LMS, it's still available from the usual site: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/ . But just to be on the safe side, you should really keep a backup copy of the LMS package anyway

Glad the pointer was helpful. I think a lot of the cost of the Vortexbox Appliance (VBA) is associated with it being a works-out-of-the-box solution, and from your self-described discomfort (or, shall we say, lack of complete comfort) with computers that may be worth the extra money. I actually en
