Any chance of implementing a TRUE real-time browse of the music folder tree? I'm realizing that this is how I generally find and play music anyway and SlimServer, with its semi-broken cataloging of tracks just gets in the way. It seems to use some odd combination of tags and directories rather than just directories. I see a number of directory trees being flattened at some point in the tree. For instance, instead of seeing a dozen directories (albums) under D:\Music\Ultra-Lounge\ I get 118 mixed up tracks when I browse to that directory. It might also be nice if it could break out of the "Music" folder and permit browsing of all drives and directories. For instance, if I tell SlimServer my music is at D:\Music, then it means I can't play a tune through the Squeezebox from E:\Rips until it's moved into the music folder. It just strikes me as oddly inflexible when directory browsing would be so simple to do. I'd even go so far as to suggest that it would be a very welcome option to have the ability to completely turn off the database/caching of tracks by SlimServer and give the user the ability to _only_ browse through directories (once again - actual directories and files, rather than SS's best-guess interpretation). This would enormously simplify both the interface and the work that SlimServer needs to do. -- JJZolx ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

All I was suggesting is that the difference in DAC's could be a major part of the picture. His daughter could hear a difference and that is one major component that could help explain the difference. I never said directly that the SB2 was inherently superior (in fact going out of my way to give the listener in question the benefit of the doubt).

Maybe the DAC isn't $.99 (as if that really matters anyway). In my comparisons, the SB2 analog out isn't as good as a high end CD player's analog out.

Re: [slim] Re: Unwanted 'synchronisation'
The behavior you describe is consistent with my speculation of what might be happening. When SlimServer completes streaming a track to the SB2, it should close the streaming socket for that track. This is an indication that there is no more data for that stream (the data itself does not contain an end-of-stream marker). If, and only if, the streaming socket has been closed, the device sends a decoder underrun message when it finishes decoding the audio - this can be several seconds to minutes after the socket has been closed, depending on how much audio fits into the SB2's input audio buffer. The decoder underrun message is an indicator to SlimServer that it should start streaming the next track. I'm speculating that the server isn't closing the streaming socket for some reason, resulting in a severely delayed decoder underrun message. The patch with the debug output hopefully will help me figure out why. --Vidur radish wrote: Thanks for looking into this Vidur.

Is it possible she just prefers the sound of the $0.99 DAC in your CD player over the high-end DAC in the SB2? :-) In all seriousness, there will always be differences unless both sources are supplying the same digital signal to the receiver. Because the CD player has a different DAC with different characteristics those differences are just the way it will be. Can your daughter explain which sounds *better* to her and why?

Re: [slim] What can I do to get the best sound?
Andrew, Different vs Better is a tough one. Just because your daughter can tell the difference between the two doesn't tell you which is producing the best sound fidelity to the original lossless source. I'm not being critical here. I'm just pointing out that sound preference is a VERY subjective thing. I have seen blind listening tests where people graded actual bit-perfect recordings LOWER than the same recording in a lossy format. One explanation the reviewer came up with is that possibly you could here imperfections is the master that were masked by the lossy compression. If you have a good receiver with digital inputs and a good DAC, try running each device seperately on the digital connection and see how they sound. They should sound identical to each other. One thing I neglected to ask you is what type of CD player are you using? Do you know what type of DAC chip it is using?

Re: [slim] Re: Unwanted 'synchronisation'
The debug log definitely shows that the SB2 seems stalled from sometime
after 22:40:16 till 22:46:39. The former time is when we finish
streaming the FLAC track to the player, though it may be many seconds
before the SB2 actually finishes playing the track. The latter time is
when SlimServer receives a decoder underrun event from the SB2, implying
that the input buffer of the device is empty and it's ready for the next
track. Again, there should be a delta between the first time and the
point where we get the decoder underrun event - this represents the
audio in the SB2's input buffer which can be several seconds to minutes
long, depending on the bitrate of the audio and the bandwidth of the
network. However, that delta definitely shouldn't be over 6 minutes.
A question - were these two players synchronized and then unsynchronized
anytime prior to grabbing the debug log? I've attached a small source
code patch that provides a bit more debug output. If you need help
applying the patch, feel free to contact me off-list at vidur | at |
slimdevices.com.
Greg, the log you posted to bug 1289 isn't as clear about what's going
on. If you're able to recreate with the attached patch, I'd appreciate it.

My Classe DAC1 decided to die two weeks ago and I had to connect the SB2 to my Bel Canto Evo2i using the analog outputs and I got here a big surprise. The sound's quality is more than acceptable! it is pretty good! I will now do my best to promote this excellent product in my country.

Re: [slim] What can I do to get the best sound?
Andrew, A couple of questions come to mind: 1. Are the SB and the CD player hooked to the same receiver? 2. If so, what type of conneciton are you using (analog or digital/Optical or Coax) for the CD Player? 3. What type of connection (analog or digital/Optical Co-ax)) are you using for the SB?

Does dbpoweramp preserve file structures? ** Yes Max it will preserve file structures. I have my lossless files stored in a directory structure, i.e., Artist\Album\Songs and by default dBpowerAMP will preserve that structure but the program may be configured otherwise. Be sure to use the "dmC File Selector" portion of the program for mass conversions. Excellent directions and examples are included on the website. -- Jeff52 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Recommended Solution for Sharing FLACs w/ MP3 Players
I believe this product lets you select the FLAC files you want to send to your MP3 player and then will do the conversion on the fly and convert them to MP3 for your player. This allows you to not have to mirror your FLACs as mp3s. A downside of this is that it is windows only. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/sveta-portable-audio.htm -- tvoil ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: FW: [slim] Re: Problems/Frustration with Softsqueeze/SSH
Tom, I saw that the other day. It looks very exciting. Imagine, with just a little interface work we'll be at the point where a laptop-type device will be *really* useful in automobiles. It could replace or greatly enhance dedicated entertainment systems (wouldn't it be great to be able to access your entire collection over a broadband connection?) and GPS/Nav systems (with the added benefit of having them up-to-date, interactive and made more useful by the addition of real-time traffic data.) Heck, shouldn't there be a system whereby one can quickly send out a notice of an accident or a traffic slowdown that will instantly pop up on the moving maps of other similarly-equipped drivers? Or perhaps one could automatically upload telemetry data that'd be aggregated and processed to generate maps that display traffic speed for everyone, and that data would be used to compute course changes if more efficient routes were available? The possibilities are endless, and boggle the mind. W/r/t the how-to, I'd suggest that three things be addressed in a step-by-step manner. 1) Finding, downloading, installing and setting up the SSH server on an XP system. There's a lot of command-line stuff that's not very clear to your typical GUI-user. A small example - the "-l" flag sure looks like "- ONE". If you're not messing with this stuff every day, that little issue could shut you down completely. Also, I believe that the accounts/password transfer examples are written for an NT system - the steps don't line up exactly for XP. 2) Configuring a (typical) firewall for access. You witnessed my struggles here, which could be avoided by a simple picture (or clear examples like "put 22 in the box for forwarding port".) Typical users would even struggle to determine the IP address of the machine running the slimserver - it might help to lay out a way to find that information easily (is that obtainable in some way other than resetting a SB and walking through the setup manually?) 3) Configuring softsqueeze to access the slimserver. A screenshot would be nice, but even a box-by-box walkthrough would be helpful. The biggest problem from my perspective was that every resource I found for setting up SSH and/or the softsqueeze assumed that one had a strong working knowledge of UNIX, and therefore skipped over, or gave very cursory treatment to, steps that would be obvious to someone with that background. As always, just my $.02. Best, Tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas B.

[slim] Status of full UTF-8 support?
Since the topic of accented characters comes up so often - what's the status of UTF-8 support? My workaround with doubletagging doesn't work so well, mainly because it has to be done by hand and is thus extremely error prone. Until UTF-8 is ready I'd be happy with a solution that let's me discern different songs/artists in a remotely meaningful way, maybe via an automatic transcription. OTOH, that would need access to a dictionary, which might get even more complicated ... oh boy.

There's a few of us trying to do this sort of thing at the moment. * Download and install dBpowerAmp Music Converter at: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm Use the program's file selector to choose all of your flac files and let the program convert them en masse to a separate folder or drive. I have lossless files on a USB external drive with mp3 files mirrored on my main drive. -- Jeff52 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The big thing I notice is that several of the hiccups I had with the SB1/SS6 combination (and even sometimes with SoftSqueeze2) are not present.

I can browse around on the unit itself, even calling up internet radio stations, without playback ceasing for some time. Which SlimServer version are you using? How much of this is simply due to the difference between a 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s wired connection I don't know, but the SB2 just seems overall faster, more responsive and more solid. SB2 has a much bigger buffer memory which will continue playing for a while even if the server crashes. This was a little confusing, when it happened for the first time. But this also helps playing, while some intensive or slow tasks are blocking the server. Audio quality is great (coax S/PDIF) and I /love/ the display! We should be using one of those in our own products. :) And I can finally rip DTS CDs and play them back in surround...

I decided that it was worth it to just mirror my FLAC files in mp3. The entire mp3 mirror at --preset standard takes up less that 1/4 the space of the FLAC library. Then I don't have to go through any particular gyrations to quickly load a few dozen odd mp3s onto a portable player as I'm running out the door. -- JJZolx ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] My SB2 arrived yesterday !
First of all, I would like to congratulate Slim Devices team for their excellent work, both for the design and for the the service's qualities. - First good impression was to discover the quality of the black case. I ordered a platinium one and decided to switch for the black one, further to Slim's proposal. I am really impressed by the feeling of quality given by this low cost device! - Second good impression was the setup of the system. 10 minutes and the slimbox was working on my wifi network! - Third good impression was the sound quality. My Classe DAC1 decided to die two weeks ago and I had to connect the SB2 to my Bel Canto Evo2i using the analog outputs and I got here a big surprise. The sound's quality is more than acceptable! it is pretty good! I will now do my best to promote this excellent product in my country.
