[slim] SB3 and Linkstation - my dream almost realised
My SB3 - without doubt my best purchase for years, with possible exception of my seemingly dated IPod which gathers dust as I no longer live in Central London. What an all-round pleasure the SB3 is proving, albeit my family concerned with my obsessional transportation of armloads of CDs out of the living room (as for all those broken bits of plastic casing...) And strangely I'm leaving my PC on 24 hours, Slimserver ticking away on the impossibility that someone other than myself grabs the new remote downstairs. Strange because, when looking for a wi-fi music player, I was determined for a solution which excludes my power-hungry PC. Hence the Linkstation, still in its box. On reflection, not sure that its cost outweighs the PC power bill, though it's another piece of kit with another set of flashing lights to have on my flight deck, and I'd enjoy migrating my recently re-ripped lossless files from the PC. Except now I'm not so sure. I've read several reviews and followed threads about using NAS devices and associated cumbersome installs, poor performance, updates of Slimserver etc. And with never having used Linux, the Slimserver install is daunting even with seven pages of detailed instructions. So do I proceed down my ideal power-saving Linkstation route, or do I return it for a refund? My feeling is that I'll ultimately be disappointed and relunctantly revert to using my power-hungry PC with numerous trips upstairs to start-up and shut-down.

[slim] Re: SB3 hanging after song in Random Mix Mode
Almost ready to file a bug report here.. First off, playing the same song that caused the SQB to enter the endless playing state at various positions in the playlist had no impact. flac -t on the file showed 100% correct. I tried the pause test as suggested in the previous post. I tested on windows XP SP2 with the source 6.2.1 package and a SQB 2. I played a track. I waited for 20 seconds remaining (19 to be exact), and pressed the pause button. I waited until the screensaver kicked in. I am using the Now Playing sceen saver while playing, and None when not playing. After the screensaver kicked in, I waited another 60 seconds, and then pressed the pause button again. The SQB 2 I was testing with immediately lost its connection to the server and the screen went blank after a few moments of displaying the lost connection notice. I checked the server, and it said the player was playing. The web interface was fully operational. I am now going to do some limited debug checking to get a better view of the environment when the SQB losses its connection, and to see if eliminating the screen saver solves the poblem. I believe we have what we need to file a bug report.

[slim] Re: Wake up slimserver (Wake-on LAN) through wireless network
I've just raised a bug sheet for this issue. Please vote for this... Ethernet to wireless router, then wireless to SB2. XP settings on the network card set to allow PC to be woken by WOL packet, and Admin Only checkbox also checked. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure WOL on network card, as above. Set Power Saving settings on the PC to make the PC go into standby after 5 minutes (or whatever). 2. Put the computer into standby (either by automatically or manually will produce the same result). 3. Turn on the SB2. This will wake up the PC. Build a playlist (doesn't matter how - either using browse albums or random mix or whatever). Start listening to the music. Actual Results: After the pre-determined length of time set in Power Saving, the PC goes back to sleep. Once the buffer empties, the SB2 stops playing. Expected Results: The PC stays awake until the SB2 is turned off (by using the power button on the SB2 remote). Once the SB2 is turned off, the PC should then start the standby countdown as usual (dependant on whatever else is running on it, of course!). In other words, the SB2 should do something on the PC that keeps it awake. P.S I love my Squeezebox. After Xmas I'll be loving BOTH of my Squeezeboxes!

samlw Wrote: Hi, Are there plans to add native AAC support to the Squeezebox? Not the DRM version - just plain AAC. I bought my Squeezebox expecting to be able to have a central music library accessible by both iTunes and the Squeezebox via SlimServer. However, I want to store the music uncompressed. So this rules out MP3, which seems to be the only common denominator format between iTunes and SlimServer. FLAC is not supported by iTunes. And AAC is not directly supported by SlimServer. (And no, I don't want to install extra software modules like LAME to convert my uncompressed music to high quality MP3!) Why doesn't the Squeezebox simply support AAC in firmware? Is there a licensing issue? The Roku SoundBridge products have such support as far as I can tell... Thanks, Sam In response to this post, and other later posts by yourself, and possibly others (if I got them mixed up), I'd like to say the following: 1. AAC is not lossless (normally). Does even Apple support lossless AAC? 2. My ultralight laptop, running at 500MHz, manages to transcode 224kbit AAC and route it via a 11Mbit/s wifi to the SB3, which is also on the same wifi network. I can't imagine what underpowered server can't manage the same? Are you perhaps transcoding to another lossy format, rather than AIFF? Or is the server under load from spyware or other demanding things? 3. Transcoding one lossless format to another must be even less demanding than transcoding 224 kbit AAC like I'm doing. 4. Implementing some way of seeking through transcoded material would be a good idea. Personally I would be happy with a way to move a marker through a bar representing the song. (Like on the iPod). Being able to actually hear anything while moving is almost useless anyway, I think -and is what would be the hard part to implement, I believe.

Sorry, false alarm (I think). It appears that my neighbour changed her wireless channel this evening - must have been the same time that I was installing the windows updates. I've changed channel, and things seem to be back to normal (although my SBG had some spurious pixels on and needed a hard reboot before it would work again).

[slim] Re: Native AAC Support
seanadams Wrote: NAS disks often have very weak processors - just enough to move files around. Often they're 200MHz or less, without the necessary memory / CPU cache / ALU to run codecs. Lossless maybe, but lossy codecs can be quite heavy unless they're tuned for the architecture. OK, thanks for the info! I wasn't aware of this, and in this case such machines are probably not really suitable to run real server-side software such as Slimserver. (Which has a working set of 35MB, and total usage of 55MB on my XP-machine.)

[slim] Noise at track change since FW update for 6.2.1 on SB2
I've just observed some rather nasty behavior from my SB2 which I've only seen since recently upgrading to 6.2.1 and upgrading the firmware on the SB2. When switching tracks with albums that previously played fine I'm getting a loud pop/click burst of static from the SB. This is with 44.1 khz LAME VBR encoded MP3 files. The files play fine on all of my other devices. I'm utilizing the analog output stage from my SB2.

[slim] Confused about how to configure album artwork
Hi! I am using SlimServer v6.1.1 on WinXP. I would like SS to display album artwork. I keep my artwork files in a single directory named: D:\Gallery\Pictures\Album Covers\ According to the help text: there is an option in Server Settings, Additional, Interface for setting filenames for Artwork, Artwork Thumbnail, and for setting a central location for artwork files. I can see the settings for Artwork and Artwork Thumbnail, but I'm unable to find a setting for central location (and entering the full path in the two aforementioned textboxes seems to prevent SS from using variables in the filename). Please would someone help me to understand how to configure SS to use album art with filenames of the form ALBUM - ARTIST in the above-named directory.

...how about a little hint on the if and when with regards to support for subscription services (Yahoo or Rhapsoday). I would think native WMA was the first step.
