    Problems with Napster (wrong config?)

    Hi,

    I'm new to the Squeezebox world. Today I've got my Squeezebox Receiver. And I got it up and running with the Net::UPAP Receiver Configuration Tool. But now I'm still facing problems with Napster. My installation is as follows:

    Squeezebox Server on Mac OS X.
    Squeezebox Receiver connected via WiFi.
    Android Phone with SqueezeControl-App.
    Registered to mysqueezebox.com

    And as I said: It plays all the music from my Mac (Server). And it also plays music from some apps like "Live Music Archive". And it also connects to my Napster account. But whenever I try to play a song it tells me ""Track for download only, can't be played". I read in other threads that Napster had some problems around new year's. But they are supposed to be fixed. So I guess it must be a configuration problem. Or are there still problems with the Napster network?

    By the way: My Napster account is a German Napster accout (if that matters).

    Greetings,
    rewers.

    Unfortunately yes, Napster still hasn't sorted this one out.

    Is this an all new account?

      thanks for the quick answer.

      no. the accout is pretty old.

      does logitech say anything when the problem is supposed to be fixed?

      greetings.

        Ok.

        It's a Napster issue. We're using their latest and greatest API (as
        they've been asking us to do so for months...) - which obviously is still
        pretty buggy.
