Playing Last.FM radio on Squeezebox outside UK, US and Germany
Due to usage rights Last.FM only supports music streaming on Squeezebox in United Kingdom, United States and Germany. For the rest of us this is a real hassle!
As a paying customer I never settled with this idea, and have struggled to find a way around these limitations, and with some extra testing I finally discovered how I can trick this 
Troubleshooting Squeezebox network connections
Troubleshooting network connection errors on your Squeezebox is hard! Once the Squeezebox Duet is fully configured it is important to remember that you actually have two devices connected to your network: The Squeezebox player/receiver and the Squeezebox Duet controller!
If you eg. change network provider, router etc. you can easily set up your controller again, but you will have a very hard time reconfiguring or connecting to your Squeezebox receiver SBR as it is still configured for you old network!
In many troubleshooting situations the easiest and fastest solution is to do a full facotry reset and reconfiguration (as the full setup only takes about 1-2 minutes). Follow the steps provided here!
IPhone summer
Summer vacation and IPhone is a good combination. Here are ten of my favorite IPhone Apps for a great vacation while travelling in Norway:
- Ship Tracking. Keep track of ships nearby!
- Star Walk. For nice summer nights. The most incredible IPhone App I have ever seen!
SqueezeBox Server won’t scrobble to LastFm
For the second time this week, I saw that my Squeezebox Server won't scrobble my played (and loved) tracks to last.fm! I started investigating, and in the server log of my Squeezebox server, I found the following errors:
Setting up Gmail on Windows Mobile 6.1
Accoring to this article, it should be rather straight forward to setup Gmail with IMAP on WM 6.1. I manged to this on my HTC TYTN II when I was running WM 6.0, but after upgrading to WM 6.1, I never had the choice during installtion to avoid automatically retrieving setting, so I was forced into a POP-setup, which has never been any good i combination WM6 and Gmail.
