I'd guess that itunes has the art only in its data base. It sounds like that when you ripped your CD's the album art was not put into the songs. If each album is in its own folder you can put a copy of the album cover art in each album folder with the file name of "folder.jpg" and then do a full r

If you need a short 3.5mm to RCA cable you can find them at monoprice.com 1.5ft is only $1.62 (Item #5596) or 3ft is only $1.33 (Item #5597) I have ordered many cables from here and they have all been high quality. This seems cheaper and easier than trying to cut and make your own. -- CUB91 -

[SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox server on Linkstation in Safe Mode?

I have a 2Tb Linkstation Pro NAS which I store all music on. Since firmware version 1.40 (now 1.41) it runs Squeezebox server. However I don't seem to be able to update the version of SB server in the Linkstation firmware, it is currently running ver 7.5.1 - r30836 which does not support Spotify (

Exactly. That the Touch -"will only talk to devices than can install and run a copy of Squeeze Box Server"- is a basic characteristic of all Squeezeboxes. Many NASs are 'too fussy' -- or more precisely, too closed and/or too underpowered -- to run SBS. These NASs may be fine for their intended use

Something is clearly wrong if a 192k MP3 sounds better than a properly ripped lossless file. Have you tried burning some of your WAV's to a CD and play them on your CD player to see if the lackluster audio follows the file? -- toby10 -
