Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
I went through my music collection and decided that my whole collection (100s of cd's) would be impractical since many of the cd's I have outgrown over the years. Many of them are phases my wife and I went through. All that would happen is alot of skipping over music and it would make the Transporter cumbersome to use not to mention the amount of time it would require to rip. Although I appreciate the music for what it is, it would not be my first choice to sit, relax and enjoy. I was able to burn 50 for now and have two additional drawers (about 50+ more) that might be burned in the near future but are not top priority. The cd that I use to demonstrate the stereo to company is Eric Clapton Unplugged. I find that the guitar is very crisp and clear and his voice is recorded in a way that gives a sense of a well defined space. It comes across as very three dimensional with a super stable sound stage. The music also appeals to a wide variety of people. I tried it through the Transporter and found with the volume on the Transporter at the max and with an increased volume in my stereo it sounded quite impressive. I played the CD in my Cd Transport with my DA converter and switched back and forth between it and the Transporter. The differences were very slight. My CD Transport/DA combination is slightly richer and requires alot less volume from my pre-amp. The average person not familiar or as picky as I am would never be able to tell the difference or would not be able to tell which of the two is preferred. Overall, I am very satisfied. Regardless of many reviews that I have read, I did not anticipate it would even come close to the equipment that I am using. It still will not be used for my demos but will certainly satisfy me for daily use or when wife wants to listen to a particular cd. I consider this to be a very positive addition to my system and a piece of equipment that brought my system up to date. -- artintampa artintampa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49578 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
I sent my older son the info you gave me yesterday since he was off work and he's a computer programmer. He set it up for me. The computer now only records the cd's in FLAC and it he set up LAN. I am not sure he's set up the subdirectories to separate the FLAC from the mp3s but baby steps. I burned several CD's last night. My company owes me some time and will take half a day tomorrow to burn more. I will have limited amount of time this weekend to do it since it looks like great beach weather here and have a busy gym schedule.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
All your music files need to be in one directory. See pic of my office setup (note my files are all in E:\All Music Files (p.s. at work I'm using the beta of 7.7.0 which is called Logitech Media Server instead of SbS, but your SbS > Settings should look almost the same, without the check boxes for video, etc.) Of course, underneath this high level directory I have other subdirectories. In my case, I have: E:\All Music Files\FLAC\ and E:\All Music Files\mp3_aac_ONLY\ And under each of these subdirectories, I have \Artist\Album\tracks So you could rip your FLAC files to the FLAC directory and your mp3 files to the mp3 directory. They will all show up in the SbS music library (that is, once they are in the right directory, you'll still need to do a "scan for new and changed" or a "clear and rescan" for SbS to "find" the files). There is a multilibrary plugin, but you probably should get all the basics working first before you try that. There are a couple of options for playing ONLY your flac files. Under "my music" you can use browse music folder option, and you can browse to the FLAC subdirectory and play songs/albums from there. Or, you could edit the "genres" of the tracks and add something like "Art's Rock" "Art's Jazz" etc. as the genres. But again, for now, you probably need to get comfortable with a good ripping routine, figure out tagging, etc. and how to make sure the files are organized so that SbS sees your library. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.10) > SbS 7.6.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
What directory should I be ripping into for the Transporter to find it. I honestly just put it in the E drive. I did this Sunday after a birthday party late/tired and a few glasses of wine so my heart wasnt totally into it and I had my two sons also giving input. It was my first time I had this last weekend to attempt this. My son has his file in Zune and the Transporter finds it effortlessly. Is there any ways for me to distinguish the ones I am going to rip from his on Zune? The music on the Zune file is all mp3 and I will be ripping FLAC and it would be nice to be able to pick the higher quality music when i want to listen to it. P.S.

As far as I know, most people serious about getting accurate rips use either EAC or dbpoweramp. I find dbpoweramp easier to use. And both these rippers use "accuraterip" which is a nice way of comparing your rips to 100s of other people automatically to insure that you have a bit perfect rip (and this also speeds up the ripping process). Winamp is fine as a player, but I never see it recommended as a ripper. I suspect the reason SbS is not finding some of your rips is that they are not in the right directory (the music directory where SbS is looking). And of course you have to do a new and changed music scan for SbS to pick these up. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.10) > SbS 7.6.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Happy to hear it "just works" as it should. I have the older Transporter as well. The new one is exactly the same guts without the control knob, so you're not missing anything with the older version. Yes, get your CDs converted to FLAC and you'll very much enjoy the resulting sounds. I use dbpoweramp, and although not free, was money well spent.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
There are several reasons for the Transporter. One of which is that I own a system that most would consider a bit above average (magnepans, two aragon 4004 amps, Theta CD Transport etc etc). Although it is more conveneint to entertain during the holidays and parties with Pandora (set it and forget it). I also have an HTPC my son built that is hooked up to the TV and to my stereo system. I have an extensive collection of CD's that I do not use nearly as much simply because it is easier to turn Pandora on and forget it. Ripping the CD's into my HTPC would allow me to easily access the music (which now I have to dig for). The transporter would make changing from CD to CD or Artist to Artist much easier. For convenience reasons it will be running Pandora quite a bit of the time (as I do now) but when I want to sit/relax 'one on one' with my stereo I will be using the HTPC and Transporter.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
Art, I had a working Transporter and I was messing around with some of the connections. I got into the same situation you are in, tried to play from any source and the VU meters would jump and freeze with no sound. I tried firmware reloads, xilinx resets to no avail. I finally did a factory reset and went through setup again. That fixed the problem. -- ghostrider ghostrider's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18959 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
I hear you and understand. I'd say if you can't get some sound tonight or in the morning that given your tight schedule you return it. It is under warranty with logitech, but the amazon 30 days is pure and simple. The warranty is good, but may be more hassle for you. Don't know what you are really trying to achieve in terms of total system, but I can tell you that as much as I love my Transporter, I wouldn't have bought it IF the TOUCH had already been released. You could buy the SB Touch, and if you wanted even couple it with a good DAC and have a VERY, VERY nice system. I use a Touch, coupled with a Benchmark DAC I at my weekend place. Something to consider anyhow. But, again, I'd keep trying on your Transporter for as much time as you have left to think about it. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking. There is a small chance that the transporter is defectivebut I'm not really feeling that is the problem. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.5) > SbS 7.5.4 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I am so sorry to keep pestering. I have 30 days to return to Amazon. I am going out of town for 4 days. With my work/gym schedule, by the time I get to this again more than 11 days will have elapsed. Let's say the 30 days elapse/cant be returned to Amazon, will Logitech take over and cover me? Do I mail it to them or repair/exchange?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
happy to help. Again, I'm almost sure there is something simple going on here. Just not sure what it is. I have had the "no sound, but playing" issue once or twice with my transporter over the last 3 or 4 years, but in all cases it was solved by the xlinx reset (remove power to transporter, point at it with the remote pressing "1" key, then restore power to TP, while pointing at it with remote). I know you tried this, but if the xlinx reset worked, you would have seen something flash on the Transporter screen telling you that it was doing the rest Anyhow, let us know how it goes p.s. I think the warranty on these things is at least one year, so I assume you have some time to play with it. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.5) > SbS 7.5.4 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
yep, i'd be prepared for a long wait when you call. In those kind of situations (fortunately not with logitech as I haven't had to call them), I put the telephone on speakerphone and then go about my business working on the computer, watching TV, or something volume is handled digitally in 24 bits so does it very well (lots of posts on this forum about the issue if interested). General rule of thumb, keep the digital volume of the transporter (or other SB players) at 70% or higher, then use the volume of your amp/preamp to adjust from there. Then you can use the CONTROLLER to raise volume or lower volume without getting out of your chair. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.5) > SbS 7.5.4 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
and for now, focus on internet radio or pandora. the messages you're getting from podcasts could be other issues (wrong address for podcast, etc.) keep it simple until you can get some sound from the transporter. Sorry to hear of your problems setting this up. I had my transporter up and running, playing music within about 5 minutes. I'm sure there is something simple on your end...just a matter of finding it, which does require some systematic diagnosis, so we don't want to be changing too many variables. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.5) > SbS 7.5.4 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

OK. so your transporter and duet is connected to mysqueezebox.com (and not the SbS running on your local computer). This is fine (for pandora, internet radio, etc.). So for now, I'd leave connected to mysb.com and try to get some sound out of the transporter before moving on to other things. I'm not sure you fully understand the difference between running your local SbS on your own computer and running via mysb.com (SbS "in the cloud"). But before we get to that, let's focus on getting sound out of the transporter.

I have used the duet strictly as a source for Pandora (since the duet is never going to play 'audiophile' quality of music). I bought the transporter for my home system so it will improve the sound and make downloading music to my htpc running windows 7 more logical. The Duet has always worked flawlessly. I downloaded SBS to my htpc (which had several songs my son downloaded previously... i believe using Zune) and the transporter was able to locate all the music and allowed me to scroll through the files effortlessly. The transporter will not play (only display) any of the music being from the internet (internet radio/pandora) or from the htpc (it also clearly displays all the artist/music on my htpc). It will also not display any podcast only shows '404 error'. So getting the information to the transporter doesnt seem to be the problem. Getting the transporter to allow streaming seems to be the glitch. -- artintampa artintampa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49578 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
not related to your problem, but I think you're not using sync the way most would think of it here. Sync means you have two or more SB players "synched" to play exactly the same thing (perfectly timed). What you are reporting is the Controller shows what the transporter is playing. That's correct behavior (and not what one would call synching). The Controller can control any SB player (the duet receiver, the transporter, SB3, boom, touch, radio, etc.). So within the Controller menu, if you've chosen "transporter" as the player (under choose player), whatever is playing on the transporter will show up on the controller screen, and you can control the transporter (choose songs, change volume, etc.) Another test on your problem. Can you move the transporter temporarily so that it is connected via ethernet cable to your router, then do a factory reset on the transporter. Just trying to reduce the number of variables (wifi, etc.). And yes, the transporter is a very nice addition to a music system. It is the central point of my system. -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.5) > SbS 7.5.4 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.1 > Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
I originally didnt have it synced with any other device. When I realized that it was sharing information with the duet controller, I took the battery out of the controller (to absolutely assure there was no sharing of information with any other source). Afterwards, I synced it to the controller to see what happens. The controller always displayed what the transporter was playing (of course until I took battery out). I made sure it was not synced to the Duet (and it wasnt) and I retried.. nothing... I honestly couldnt be more frustrated. This is a piece of equipment that would have tied alot of loose ends of my audio system together into one place. -- artintampa artintampa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49578 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter wont stream
I received my transporter this last Friday hoping to set it up throughtout the Labor Day Weekend. The entire set up went flawlessly (this thing just about sets itself up, found squeezebox.com, internet etc). When I try to play anything it will display the artists name, time left on song, the VA Meter will change position but no music. If play is pressed again, it will advance in the time counter, the vu meter will change position but no music. Pressing the pause button does nothing. This occurs with Pandora, Internet Radio, even when it hooks up to my computer (I downloaded/set up the required slimdevice program), when I try to stream podcasts it gives me 404 error (not streaming). I hooked up my Squeezebox Duet above the transporter, with the same wires etc and it runs flawlessly. I connected directly the the ethernet cable, I contacted the cable company to make sure there isn't any blocks of any kind, we have no firewall. My router is from Brighthouse and we have Lightningn (the fastest they offer). When my son logs into the router it shows 'error' each time the transporter tries to connect. I do not want to return exchange it just to find out I will have the same problem. I have done a factory reset, hit the 'brigtness button' in order to update firmware, unplugged it for the day, replugged each with the exact same result. Very frustrated and giving up here. -- artintampa artintampa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49578 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90180 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
