[slim] Harmony Remote Users
Any harmony remote users out there know/remember how to setup their squeezebox on the remote, while making it think it's a multi-disc changer? I wrote a plugin for slim server that will create a CSV file for importing into your harmony remote that gives you quick/instant access to particular playlists/albums via one touch of the LCD buttons...but for the life of me, I can't find how/where to modify the squeezebox to allow for multi-disc usage. Hopefully someone our there can lend a hand...I hope I didn't write this plugin for nothing! (The plugin basically allows you to punch in a 4 digit disc number like 0001, and the squeezebox plays a specified playlist from that number) Anyways...any help is appreciated here.

[slim] Can stream MP3 but not WMA to Squeezebox
I've been searching the forums for a similar problem, but haven't found anything similar outside of AlienBBC problems. >From SlimServer 6.0.2 (and 6.1b2) on Windows XP SP2, I am able to stream MP3 but not WMA from the internet to my SB. There seems to be a problem when passing the stream from wmadec.exe to lame.exe. Since it's an SB, MP3 (from http://radioio.sc.llnwd.net:8465/) is streamed directly. However, when I stream WMA (from http://radioio.wm.llnwd.net/radioio_70sPop_med), it involves socketwrapper, wmadec and lame. Both streams do work in Windows Media Player.

[slim] Showing all songs takes VERY much time
Showing all my about 5600 songs (e.g. using the link under browse albums) takes about 4:40 minutes in Slimserver. On the Squeezebox it also take several minutes when browsing for songs. There seems to be some caching since the second time it takes between 10 and 30 seconds. But this is still a very long time. I use MediaMonkey to organize my music files and with MediaMonkey it takes only about 2-3 seconds (!) to display all songs. Is there some improvement possible in Slimserver? Since the songs are organized in a database it should be much faster to show a list of all songs. Since my hard disk is working very much when I click on the "all songs" link it seems to me as if the song list is not created from the database but that all songs are read from disk. Is that correct (and if yes, is that necessary)? I use the latest nightly build and have Windows XP Home, an Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz and 1GB RAM.

I'm going to revert this post to its author's original desires, and mine, of sending thanks and kudos to the Squeezebox2 team. I too received mine earlier in the week, set it up, and have been tickled since. I was leaving town for a couple of days, and my wife was returning that evening. I'd set up a large playlist, started the box on repeat all mode, and i received a phone call later in the evening at how nice a surprise the Squeezebox was. She loves her little Squeezbox 2! :-) Setup was a breeze, even with WPA wireless, and it just worked. Having used SoftSqueeze for long enough, the interface was a no-brainer. Even more surprising was how things that didn't make sense to me in SoftSqueeze suddenly made sense with the Squeezebox2 (the Power button for example). I really like the tough rubber feel of the black unit - its a wonderful change from cheap plastic or tin and it feels wonderful. The display is very nice too. While I've encountered a couple of minor glitches here and there (inputing a Space via the remote is not documented or obvious, alarm clock frooze w/the b2 server, unit was unresponsive to remote after alarm plugin fired alarm), these are very minor, to be expected in any complex product, and by no means discount the quality and value of the product. I mention these here only for balance. The device is so cool, I can now see having one as our alarm clock/radio/tune player in the bedroom, one in the living room for whole-house audio, and one in each spare bedroom for guest, etc..

[slim] Re: SB2 - It Does The Business!
As long as your ripper get the gap detection right, the SB2 will do this flawlessly. I rip all my albums using EAC, and the SB2 will play them back without even the slightest detectable gaps between tracks (assuming there isn't meant to be a gap!). It works perfectly. Apparently, gapless playback is part of the FLAC standard, so the SB2 couldn't claim FLAC support if it didn't get this right.

I have found that when streaming FLAC, there are often glitches on track transitions, not a gap, but a missing half second or so which sounds like a missed beat.
