I just ran into this problem today, exactly as described above. I don't normally listen at the server (Linux), but tonight was an office-cleaning night. I was very frustrated at this, but your suggestion fixed it right away. Thanks a lot! Anthony -- Anthony --

Erland, Yes, I can change tracks without any problem, at any time. It really does seem to be working fine for me. I will look at my system further to see what might be allowing it to work... Ok - this is a little weird, when I right-click on the Softsqueeze shortcut icon on my desktop, I get the

SoftSqueeze has been playing continuously for the past 16 hours on my Ubuntu 7.04 machine now, without a hiccup - so it is possible to make it work! Maybe I am just lucky - as I know very little about Linux. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *M

One other 'feature' is that if I'm playing say track 8 of an album, then click 'previous track' three times, Softsqueeze will stop responding to buttons (and after a short while stop playing), but when I relaunch it, it will play from track 5 (as though Slimserver got the requests for 'previous tr

Erland, Your problem might be different than what mine was. SoftSqueeze would hang on me at any time, usually within two minutes of the first song I tried to play. The progress timer would not be incrementing correctly, and then the song would stop, and the SoftSqueeze screen would freeze or go b
