Slacker gets stuck in a loop and Pandora skips mid song (I mentioned this a week or so ago). Only fix is to uninstall and reinstall the plugins in LMS Settimgs. Very strange. Only happens with my pCP LMS not on the LMS I run on a Mac mini (7.9.0 on the mini) Any idea what's causing this?

pCP 3.22 running well. Did a clean install last night. One minor glitch, not sure what I did wrong. Before I installed LMS I mounted the LMS Cache that I have on a USB ext3 partition. The install of LMS put a new Cache on the pCP boot disk (/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/slimserver), so 2 caches, with
