I've tracked it down to the VortexBox being the problem.
I've been wrestling with it for 6 months now, it never works for more

It will play for 10

Ok, my Vortexbox / SqueezeBox Touch setup has been very buggy. Always
has been. Very frustrating. Sometimes works great, very often it doesn't
work at all.
VortexBox and SBT are both connected to the Verizon router with ethernet

There's also a router of course, which is connected to the internet.

your edits, then save. You'll need to run a clear and rescan for LMS to
pickup the tag changes (look for new and changed is not enough).

a cheap switch run with completely static ip
not involving the router, no internet but the local playback should work
fine.
Hmmm... That would be fine once I've ripped all my cd's, but in the
meantime I of course need the internet to provide album art and track

very likely it's not the VBox.
Suggestion from a friend is that the Verizon router may simply be
crappy... is this possible?

local computer,
install SqueezePlay and choose that as player. Do you still get
dropouts with squeezeplay. Just trying to isolate VB server vs Touch
itself
Good thought, thanks.
