Attention Squeezebox Touch & Pandora users

I have this odd issue with my SBT when using Pandora. Some tracks cut off in the middle, especially longer tracks, and very often, it freezes at the end of a track, and indicates that it is rebuffering on top of the screen. This sits at 0% until I toggle back to the menu and restart the station, or skip to the next track. Since I use Pandora for backround, this is very annoying. Logitech tried to help me, but all of their tech guys assume I am using the Squeezeplayer for Pandora. Because I use my SBT with a Vortexbox Appliance (a music server), I cannot switch to the Squeezeplayer (or Squeezeserver, I forget) without really messing up everything. I have none of these issues with my server or internet radio. Any thoughts?

Now that I think about it, I've had this problem with my Touch as well, but it's been with MOG. I don't use Pandora that much.

Although I do sometimes get the problem of the song stopping in the middle, what I usually get is when the song ends, it just sits there and doesn't go to the next song on the play list.

I have no idea what causes it, although I've always considered the SBT to be a bit buggy. That's why I use a Sonos for background music and parties.

Rebooting the SBT usually fixes any problems that I'm having.

What version of the firmware are you running? I know that there is a newer version than the one that I'm running, but I can't upgrade because I'm running the server software on a Synology Diskstation and the newest version isn't compatible with the server software.

Hmmm. I use my squeezebox with a Vortex Appliance, and have the problem you describe with MOG but not with Pandora. I've found that I can switch to the squeezeplayer/server/mysqueezebox.com without really messing up anything.

Sometimes it's a bit of a mystery to me. I get these annoying re-buffers and stops, change some settings, and everything is great. Until it happens again.

Clearly, I offer compassion more than solution. :-)
