    switching between Libraries - seamless or ?

    OK, two posts in the same forum means I have a new toy ..Love it, especially since wi/fi - internet radio is the only real answer to defeating big city AM interference .. Got my firewall and connectivity issues with SB server straightened out ( my media machine also runs Twonky) ..

    Here's the scenario : I start listening basically connected to mysqueezebox.com ..I have 6 presets assigned . I then switch libraries ..presets become inactive ( they still 'beep') ..and Internet Radio seems to want to go thru my library/server ..Ok, fair enough ..need to tell L'il Snitch that's OK ... BUT ..

    How do I switch back to mysqueezebox.com ?? Switch Libraries has NO option shown to do this, or to unselect my library .. Basically I need to power down and reboot ..which brings mysqueezebox.com and the presets back to life ..

    I've read thru some threads on alternatives ( e.g. add to favorites on SBC and use these..) .. I just think I'm missing something ..would be ideal to be able to switch libraries 'seamlessly' ..

    Thanks

      You should be able to connect to mysb.com via Settings > Advanced > Networking > Switch to mysqueezebox.com. I say "should" because some people seem to have problems with it. I don't understand why it is buried so deep in those menus, but if you plan to use it a lot you can put it on your Home menu by selecting it under Settings > Home Menu.

          Thanks ...haven't had time to wander around in the depths of the menu ... will check that out ... I'm leaning toward staying connected to my server, as it's up 24x7, based on other threads in this forum .. I might as well, because my PS3 and Denon stay connected at all times, with no issues ..

              If your server is on 24x7 there is no reason whatsoever to connect explicitly to mysb.com. You can get all the mysb.com services via SBS, and many fewer connection headaches.

                  Thanks ..found it and reconfigured radio and my thinking to use the server .. fixed some issues w/ little snitch and 'hanging' disappeared .. And, if my media server (Imac) crashes, I've got more important things to do than listen to internet radio
