hi GeeZa-- I'm the Nokia770 skin guy, so I'll answer to that and let others talk about the rest... You'll need Slimserver 6.5 for the Nokia770 interface. Pick up the latest nightly build of it from here-- http://slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/6.5/ You might as well do it now...it's free! And you can stream directly to your 770 before your squeezebox even arrives: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimserverAndNokia770 also, subscribe to the rather ginormous Nokia770 thread here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 that thread has become the de facto standard for announcing changes and enhancements to the skin. Also, remember that you can access *all* slimserver skins simply by fully qualifying them. This way you can use Nokia770 on your 770 and a different skin, e.g. KDF's excellent Fishbone, on a laptop or PC. http://localhost:9000/Nokia770/ http://localhost:9000/Fishbone/ good luck with your new toy! #!/ben -- bklaas bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24020 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] New user alert!
Hi all, Just wanted to say that I ordered my Squeezebox this morning and am very much looking forward to it arriving. Giving up iTunes after all this time (about 3-4 years) is going to be a big change for me. :-) But I'm looking forward to pastures new and finally having decent remote control of my music (wake up Apple, Front Row isn't it!!). So can anyone advise this n00b on essentials? I've already been told that AlienBBC and SongScanner are must-haves. Plus I do (as chance would have it) own a Nokia770 so I guess the skin for the server interface is also a must. Also any potential traps/things-to-watch-for for someone coming from OSX iTunes? My music is mostly Apple Lossless, AAC, MP3 and AIFF. Actually one question I do have is what people have found the best method for re-ripping protected AAC files? Obviously I'm going to need to convert all mine. Anyway, sorry for rambling. One of the key decisions for me choosing a SB3 over the Sonos (which I *almost* bought - booo!) was the comparative friendliness, openess and general knowledgeability of this forum (I've lurked for months). So I hope once I'm up and running I'll also be able to contribute. :-) -- GeeZa GeeZa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24020 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Going to do an ABX this weekend between ALAC and FLAC
Thanks, Cepheid. Yes, I was aware of the ALAC and the FLAC bugs (I voted for the one!). I'll mainly be listening for decoder differences. I don't have golden ears (I'm 48, so silver...perhaps tin by this time), though my brother does. My main concern (if you can call it a real concern) is mov123. What exactly does this do? Does it do the decoding itself? Or (as I suspect) does it pass the data off to the actual decoder (Quick Time in ALAC's situation)? I'm seriously considering ALAC (multiple iPods, building a complete Apple solution at home). That's why I'm doing the ABX. My FLAC sounds very good. I want to make absolutely sure that, for my ears, I'm not stepping down with the ALAC/mov123 combination. I ought to start another thread about how much my Squeezeboxes have changed music listening at my house. Before, digging through 100's of CDs for something to listen to, etc., etc. I just quit, basically. I listened 99% of the time on my iPod(s). Now, I have music on all the time--especially with MusicIP Mixer's kick*ss playlist creation. I love my 'Boxen!

Just so you know, AIFF and WAV are both uncompressed formats, and they're both just wrappers for PCM data. The difference is that WAV is little-endian while AIFF is big-endian, and they use different headers. The data they contain should be identical however. (And when I say identical, I mean actual identical bits, just in a different byte-ordering. ALAC and FLAC are not identical although they should decompress to identical files, but AIFF and WAV are, essentially, as close as you can get to being identical without actually being duplicates.) If you hear any difference between the formats it would be due to bugs in the decoders, not differences in any of the file formats. Do know that there is a bug that affects ALAC files that causes the first few tenths-of-a-second to be cut off from songs. A similar bug affects FLAC that causes the last fraction of a second to be skipped. -- cepheid cepheid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3845 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Well I'd opened a ticket with support concerning this issue and they have acknowleged the bug and are chalking it up to bug # 2095 - and then they closed the ticket. So far it's just a few of my cd's that are affected with this problem so I can jsut rip those to aiff for now. The last e-mail i got from support stated that "From what I understand, the developers are reviewing the details for an upcoming update." We'll see what happens.

I've seen this with 6.3 - I think more than before but who can really tell. In one instance, server health was running and I noticed that the timer tasks where out of spec.

[slim] Re: Squeezebox keeps dropping out
I also have an SB1, and when I first got it I encountered exactly the same problems as you (e.g. the intermittent "reboot" of SB). Even though my wireless signal strength was very high, like yours, I still put the problem down to interference. Indeed, trying different wireless channels affected the frequency of the reboots. Given that I'm UK based, I can use channel 13 (not available in the US). I've found this to be by far the best and most stable channel for my location. I've also got a pair of +5dB antennas on my wireless router to try and pump out a stronger signal and overcome some of the random "blips" that kill my SB1. I've not had problems for quite a while using this configuration. I still get the occassional drop-outs, but it's limited to once every couple of weeks now - rather than the initial once or twice per hour. At the time I was debugging it, I couldn't detect any other wireless LANs in the area - I think one of our neighbours has a cordless phone or something :( Since then, however, I've started to notice a couple of other wireless LANs popping up, but so far these don't appear to have increased the number of drop-outs on channel 13.

[slim] Squeezebox keeps dropping out
My squeezebox 1 keeps dropping the network and going back to the setup screen and automatically going through the find network steps. It does this about every 30mins or so (not a regular timed occurence though) even though my wireless network strength stays at a constant 90-95%. I am running with Slimserver v6.2.1 as v6.2.2 does not detect any music on my system. Though this problem has been apparent for about the last 6 months but getting steadily worse. -- meryvn meryvn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1903 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23994 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Sb2?
Having seen an SB3 in "real life" for first time last night (round a friend's house, the same friend who introduced me to slimp3 and SB all those years ago ;) I'm totally going to get an SB3 now :) I was basing my opinion on the pics I've seen of SB3 on websites and stuff. Gotta say, though, that the pics don't do them justice - they really are a whole lot smother than I had envisaged! Slim Devices - get some more pics of the SB3 up for marketting purposes!

azinck3 Wrote: > You can follow the black tape suggestion, or alternatively, you can > manually disable the remote codes for an individual player under player > settings -> remote. Well, the black tape/disable the codes suggestions will not work reliably because the squeezeboxes are a long way apart and the bounced IR signals do not always register on the furthest unit. Also, they are at opposite ends of the room so if I blanked one sensor then you would have to point the remote over your shoulder as you looked at the other squeezebox. It seems like something that could be done in the code - once one squeezebox has indicated that it has started to receive something then the others could be locked out for a few seconds?
