When you go to My Music does it offer to switch you to your local SBS

If yes, when you select SBS server it does not connect?

Could be an excessive CPU use issue due to a bug, but it also could be a

OK so now I'm thinking of using something else to control the SB Touch.
Any suggestions ?
Also Any idea why connecting the SB with a coax to my Coax swicthbox it
freezes that switchbox ?
No such problem with any of the other 4 connected coax.
Using the same cables for all devices.
