I don't mind to see bugs and report them...been in SW testing all my working life ;-) However I still want to emphasis on the fact that from a human factors perspective it's not very nice to switch servers "under the hood". If it is not possible to have the user select a certain server in the settings menue of a box I'd expect some more visible hints and warnings when downloading the server software. A "boxes might try to hook up to a different server when you install this build. Make shure you have a valid account" would do the trick. What I seem is a very bad implementation is the behavior of the box when it tries to connect to a different server: instead of repeatedly telling me that my eMail-Address is invalid (while I didn't know the sucker is trying to connect to test.mysqueezebox.com rather than to mysqueezebox.com) the message should say: "invalid eMail-Address, make shure you have a valid account and eMail-Address set up on (in this case) test.mysqueezebox.com". This would have helped a lot! Regards, Juergen
