[SlimDevices: Radio] Songs restart after approx 30s - 1minute

2010-07-13 Thread GiantNibble
My Squeezebox Radio has just developed a problem which is driving me mad. Whatever album/playlist/artist I select to play, the SBR starts playing 1st track, then after 45s-1min the track restarts from beginning. If I skip to next track, the same thing happens on next song. Same thing happens with

The Radio's software was crappy as it came out in October 2009 and close to nothing changed since then. Indeed some things even became worse. Don't expect basic features to work. Logitech is either not willing or able to fix this mess for more than 8 months now, so it would be kinda surprising if
