I use SB3s and the Duet listening to fiddling = 100:1 setup and go,
although no squeezenetwork and only locally

Howard, I have been following your ongoing problems, and I understand

I'm in agreement
I have four receivers and a controller. I can honestly say that I have
spent in total about 30 minutes setting everything up. This
included a WHS out of the box. That was about two months ago.
I spent considerably longer re-organizing poorly tagged MP3s, but this
is hardly the fault of Slim
I have a SLMP3 14 SB2/3's and a duet and have been using them for 5, 6
or maybe even 7 years.
Ratio is probably 100'000:1
The only fiddling I do is getting things like MusicIP to work.
I remember to good old days when the reason an update wasn't working
could be solved by Sean putting a chip
All I can say is WOW!
Seems that the folks that are really getting along well are the ones
that avoid the 3rd party stuff and in some cases SN. Of course I
really like the SN feature and XM radio.

Sorry slow to respond. I don't spend that much time online.
I've had my SB3 since November/December 2005 and I'm very happy with it.
I don't know the listening to fiddling ratio, but I do know that
there's been very little fiddling and very much listening :)

I have 2 SB3s. I regularly use SoftSqueeze and remote streaming at my

Like most others here, my fiddling is by choice. My most recent bout

How long have you been using a SB?

make it work?
Me: 2 months ratio: 1/10

6 weeks, 100:1 (listening to fiddling, it could well be even higher, it
isn't as if I have been keeping a careful track of my listening)
Just about none of my fiddling has been connected with fixing problems,
it has almost all been to do with installing interesting new plugins and
applets
1 year. 100:1
What andynormancx said. Tinkering with plugins mostly. My SB3 and SB2
just work - whether wired, wireless, connected to a homeplug+switch etc.
Very happy with them.

I been a SqueezeBox/Transporter user for about 1 1/2 years.
Ratio: about 50:1 listening time to fiddling time.
I do believe that most of my fiddling time has less to do with
SqueezeCenter and more to do with the computer and OS that I'm running

SqueezeCenter is reliable and doesn't seem to need maintenance, so
fiddling seems to be entirely optional. Have had 3 SBs for about 2

Hardly any of my fiddling is to fix problems. It usually has to do with

Very little time spent fixing problems (except for a recent spate with

Have an SB3 (1.5 yrs) with controller (1.5 months).
Mandatory fiddling: probably 150:1
Includes installing original SS and doing periodic updates along the
way to now be at SC 7.1. Also includes time setting up a dedicated
server somewhere along the way.

Almost two years. SB3 first, then had to have a Transporter, more SB3s,
then a Duet right when it came out.

Like most that have posted almost all my fiddling has been of my own

I'm interested in finding out about the DUET because it's what I have.
I may be
Duet owner for 3 months
Fiddling occurs in spurts. I had a lot of trouble at the beginning,
about 1:1 for about a week. It would then act up every 1-2 days for a
couple of weeks, but I could usually get it to work with a few minutes
of fiddling, and then could listen for a couple of hours. Now
Got my first SB3 one year ago and the second one 6 months ago.
Fiddling (customization + plugins testing) to music listening ratio was
around 1:1000.
Upgrading my ReadyNAS with SqueezeCenter nightly betas in february was
a bit tricky at first, so I think the ratio went down to 1:100 during
this
Mostly listening, very little fiddling over the past 18 months. And the
fiddling almost always turns out to be because of quirks in my system,
problems with my computer, etc. I've got two SB3s and the Duet and all
three have worked great out of the box.

Seems like I've had my stuff forever - probably because I don't want to
remember when I didn't have them. I think I bought my first SB3 about
3 years ago, unless they weren't out then, in which case it was 2 or 2
1/2 years ago. Bought a second one about 6 months later.
