I think at some level, it's wireless for both ziggyb63 and nptohc. Just
something that's irregular enough to not show up on a test reliably.
Okay, first ziggyb63:
I'm going to estimate mixed b/g real-world network speed as 9Mbps. The
fact that your server is connected wirelessly is a very big
I don't think its the wireless.
1. Multiple people with the problem
2. One of them runs only wired.
3. I run wireless, but never have this particular problem except when
running synced. I mean not even once.

CatBus, thanks for giving me the impetus to try to debug this issue
Encoding is Apple Lossles, sample size 16 bit, sample rate 44.1kHz via
iTunes (iPod is still used in the household), bit rate varies per track
from ~200-1000kbps+ CBR, as reported by slimserver.
Various version of iTunes
I have often had this problem - basically ever since 6.5.x
The previous version seemed to be a lot better - but the issues I have
had so far this year:
1) 1 Squeezebox out of the crowd that are synced up will randomly stop
outputting audio (but the device and display indicate it is playing).
Transcoding to FLAC is a good thing. This means that the SB3 is always
playing files that used the same encoder, and any decoding bugs are
less likely due to so many users sharing the same encoder. I was
thinking your bug could be caused by the SB3 not knowing how to decode
for an oddball MP3

Hmm, this only happens to me when I sync the 2nd SB3 with another one -
if this was a network issue, I would have expected to have these issues
when playing un-synced, that is, playing normally. But I don't, I can
play quite sucessfully for hours on end un-synced on this SB3 (well,
both actually)
Hrrm... it's flaky?
Yep. Very. I have the same problems the original poster described
(although not quite as frequent) along with the typical almost in sync
but not quite problem.
On the bright side, someone is working on improving the sync on the
developers forum! Hurray!

For what it's worth, using the network test plugin on the SB3 that
'stops', I can get up to 3000Kbps at an average 'quality' of 100% - it
starts dropping off at higher speeds, but it's still an average of
90% at 4000Kbps. Would have thought that was adequate.
I'm just going to wait, see what

Sure, and it is completely pointless... Sort of.
A couple basic assumptions:
1) I will have -something- making some noise at home -- radio, tv,
etc. Radio or SB are cheaper than TV. My only radio is my
receiver... which doesn't have an antenna... so SB at home will play.
2) I -love- last.fm
Hi all,
Newbie to these forums, my 1st questions. Am running 6.5.2 and have
synchronized one of my SB3s to another SB3, both wireless. All is good
for, say 10-15 minutes, then the synchronized one suddenly stops
playing. The one it was synchronized to still continues OK, but the
first one appears
