Yes, I already supposed it would be something with localization.

Great to see this will be fixed and radio stations too. I hope I do not have
to wait too long for the first dot update. Will it be posted here or do I
have to try an update on my Soundbridge regularly?

I also would like to give a second review of my "playing with my new toy
weekend". That would be more orientated towards: Benefits and drawbacks in
using Soundbridge with iTunes vs, Slimserver. And my personal "what I like
to see implemented into Soundbridge".

I don't know, whether you (and the subsriber to the list) like this to be
posted on this tech-list, as it is more targeted at users and not at
developers.
