caszw: I have a SqueezeBox Radio (SBR) with firmware 7.5.1 r8837, the latest 'final' version offered. I use the headphone jack to drive my stereo system and it sounds very good. Assuming the 'speakers' you intend to use offer a 'line level' input they should work equally well. The only issue

thx Ron Stordahl for your answer, the sound good, can't wait until I can connect it to my sb radio. about the reboot and the noise, that must be an issue that the speaker are 'powered on' when your are rebooting the radio, must be some 'wrong input' to the speakers from the sb radio. -- caszw

Actually the very loud annoying noise on reboot also occurs when using regular earphones, so it has nothing to do with 'powered'. Just plug in a headset and you can confirm it's the SBR that is doing this. I will be interested in your findings. -- Ron Stordahl

Yawn. Doesn't it get boring? Every time someone complains about the Radio not working with MYSB an the very same few people claim it's working with a local server. So what? Who cares? How would this matter to those who expect the thing to work without wasting money and energy in a local server?

I'm using MSB.com. For the last few days, I've used the workaround that has been suggested on Bugzilla. It involves leaving the radio on. When I'm finished listening, I stop the stream. I have the screensaver for stop set to the digital clock and in 30 seconds it looks like it is off. I have
