Is Anyone using the Aurender add to library feature?
@rockrider, Thanks for the information. Based on my current thinking, I also prefer to KEEP my libraries separate and not all combined together. For some reason, I like my streaming favorites to be together and not mixed in with everything else. ...

Failed to enqueue. Any ideas?
@tomaswv, great news.  I am thrilled that it worked.Your error message, 'Failed to enqueue', indicated to me that you were having communication issues between your devices.  The reset of everything solved the issue.   This sometimes happens to ele... 
Failed to enqueue. Any ideas?
Sorry, one more thing.  Please turn off ALL devices, router, modem and Cambridge 851N units, etc. for 2 minutes.  This means UNPLUG from the wall. Restart the modem first, then the router and then turn on the Cambridge 8510N.   I am hoping this co...

Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio
Several years ago, I mentioned to my retailer that I was using a powerline adaptor and he said I should replace it with an Ethernet cable. I said it was ’impossible’ because my living room is on the opposite side of my house from my router and the... 
Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100

If you do not get any warning when you plug in the Lightning cable, you should have sound, but make certain you turn up the volume control. Update to the latest version of iOS.re-boot your phone. Does this work? 
McIntosh, your experience?
