That would be Meridian. I think it would really help people if Sooloos warned user that that service was down prior to the start of ripping / importing ... may be a traffic light: � Red (down) � Amber (busy, heavy usage) � Green (good) This would also help differentiate between the service being "down" and "no data" found for this album.

When the database is down then the system hangs for a while before defaulting to a "not found" state. I was importing some albums last night and the data went down at around 6.35pm (UK time). I exchanged a few comms earlier in the week with M support about this. They are definitely aware. I agree with Ian that we really need some kind of status indicator. Even if this is somewhere on the M support site. It's not ideal but all I can think to manage this is tag albums to re-edit when database is back up. Rgds, Nick

And presumably, given it is a long weekend in the UK, will not be back up until Tuesday... In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.

Has anyone ever seen Jeff Tracy: or Bob Stuart: in the same room...? Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new. Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.
