[SlimDevices: Radio] Why the need for 2 Server Types

I love Squeezebox - as far as I am concerned it works a treat - especially with apps like Napster, where basically you have access to every bit of music!! What I don't understand, is why there are 2 servers available - which basically make the whole interface a complete nonsense to inexperienced

Where's the problem? It wastes bandwidth, both at my end and at the radio station. But more importantly, if I turn off the Radio, go downstairs and turn my Roku SoundBridge on to the same station, I don't want to be pulling two streams at the same time from di.fm. The station detects that and

An idea (for yet another workaround) press the big knob or + to bring up the context menu and remove from playlist What happens now ? Does it still buffer the stream , it might still use bandwith for it's comm with mysb.com ? -- Mnyb

It's probably a combination of the way our DSP mixes stereo to mono and the audio from the station. If both channels cancel each other out, or mostly cancel each other out, this will happen. It could be an encoding problem or some other problem at the station's side. -- andyg

Thanks for looking into this. That makes sense. Just by hearing the sound I could guess it was kind of decoding/processing issue. But when I got the typical support answer pointing third party as culprit it was kindof insulting my intelligence. Thus, I pointed how wrong the answer was. Now I got
