Thanks Jörg for all your support.

is your server running on Windows?
This sounds a lot like the “Virus Scanner Issue”. It most often happens with McAfee but some other virus scanners are also affected.
Please exclude “*.MYI” files from virus scanning, if you are using McAfee have a look at this:

Also, please make sure that your iTouch doesn’t enable the screen saver while the album cache is still being synchronized since this will stop the download.

Another (though more rare) possibility would be an issue with illegal characters in one of the tags (Album name, Artist name, Year) that causes the server to break off the transmission. Note: “Foreign” characters are NOT illegal, illegal characters include control codes and the like.

How to solve? Downgrade to some older versions or what? I have fluched the cahce a number of times without any result.

Sorry, I’ve written that wrongly, I did not want to say “Squeezebox Server” but “Squeezebox Controller”.
I know the server does it differently.
The server setting does not affect the CLI interface which iPeng and the newer Squeezebox models use. This is actually a known issue or to be precise I believe Logitech doesn’t regard it as an issue but it’s supposed to be by design.

As I said: there is nothing iPeng can do about it since I can’t dig into the database remotely.

What happens if you select a song from the current playlist?
I still believe this is an issue with the software player on the Vortexbox. All iPeng is doing (in this case) is sending a command to play the ALBUM and then to skip to the correct song. It sends these two commands wrapped into one message so they get executed immediately by the server.
One thing you could try is to set “play single tracks” in the iPeng settings and then set the player settings on the server to “play other songs in album”. This means playing a whole album will not always work but most of the time and maybe the server handles it better then.

I do see a setting under the MyMusic tab that allows you to include Composer, Conductor or Band/Orchestra in the Artist list. I always keep these unchecked. If I do check Composer then on the Squeezebox Server I see both Artist and Composers on the top level Artist list AND Albums by the Artist and Composer when I select an Artist. In this case the iPeng interface reflects this correctly. But if I uncheck that Composer flag the listing on Squeezebox Server shows only Artists under the Artist list AND only Artist Albums when selecting an Artist. However on the iPeng, the Artist list is correct (only Artists shown) but if I select an Artist I still see albums with Artist and Composer. Not what I see in Squeezebox Server.

I apologize for the length of this explanation.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

This adds these selections at every level of the Artist tree so if I click on Composer it does mimic what I see on the iPeng after selecting an Artist (seeing additional albums under the Artist as Composer). But on the Squeezebox Server it also list ALL the composers under the top level Artist list and this does not happen on the
