Thanks, dude. I've got another thread started in "Beginners" about

where i was coming from was the angle that once someone sets up the
basic squeezecenter the temptation to customize and tweak it is very

SC is open source.
I know that it's venting for the most part but I think the main point is
quite valid. I too am a loyal customer with three boxes and thousands of
hours of musical enjoyment under my belt due to the revolutionary

Y'know, this rant, with absolutely no information about the equipment,
or even OS, being used brings me back to my days of working in a
motorcycle shop. On Saturdays, I was often at the parts counter, and
there'd always be a couple of customers who'd want parts without
