However if you run into wireless problems it will compound them. In short, you're asking for trouble. Each wireless packet will now have to go over two hops: SS - wireless router - SB. You increase latency and decrease speed and throughput each time. As I said, in certain situations this may work without any adverse effects - every time I post this I always get a few people saying works for me. Be that as it may, if yourself or a neighbour buys a 2.4 GHz phone or sets up a new wireless network on the same channel as you it may not work for you anymore. You already have a cable going to your modem-router, be it phone line or CATV cable, what's one more going from the router to your SS box? You don't have to run it all over your room, just place the SS box beside the router and run a short wire in the back.

A different, maybe simpler approach (if you're running Windows) would be to install MP3Tag - that has the capability to output reports on your music library. It ouputs directly from your filesystem, instead of your DB, so you have to add a time allowance for it to scan. I use MP3Tag all the time, but I haven't tried the export functionality.

Even WMP refuses to play them after this happens giving an error message that the files are corrupted. Yes, the file sizes change. WMP is the latest version Very odd! As I said, I wouldn't expect the SS scan to modify the files (but I don't know the code, and am only guessing; who knows how scanning WMA files works?) I wonder what would happen if you set the files to be read-only... would they still get corrupted? (In which case I'd mistrust either the readonly setting (in Windows, trust b*gger all!) or your hard drive!) Would the scan itself fail (because it needs to change a file, but can't)? I suppose there's also the possibility that some other process is corrupting the files; say, if you're running another music app that's changing files on the fly (possibly via a well-hidden configuration setting). (I remember once doing lots of damage to my WMA tags by foolishly letting WMP try to fix them for me, but I'm fairly sure I explicitly asked WMP to do it.

So here is how Net::DNS finds a DNS server. The default is 127.0.0.1 so if it can't find another server using any of these methods it will use localhost. /etc/resolv.conf ~/.resolv.conf (home dir) ./.resolv.conf (current dir) RES_NAMESERVERS environment variable These are all read from top to bottom, with anything found overwriting a previously found item. So if you have the environment variable RES_NAMESERVERS set, it'll overwrite your normal resolv.conf value.

[slim] Re: Apostrophe in song title causes duplicate listing?!
Blarg, the system just ate my earlier post. Short and sweet version: I had this problem and fixed it. Problem was exactly as described, single quotes in song titles or in album names caused duplicate display in, e.g., album song lists. Super annoying. Always two appearances of the culprit - never 3. Examining the URL of the twins showed the filenames were identical. I have tried to attach a jpg showing the problem. My setup: server 6.3, SB 2, 2 slimp3's, macos 10.4. Simple rebuilds of the sqlite db (or manual deletion followed by rebuild) did not solve. My music files are in /Users/Shared/Music. My home dir, /Users/my-login/Music/iTunes, is symlinked into /Users/Shared/Music. On closer inspection of my settings, I found the problem was, I gave the slimserver two ways to find my music files. I told it to use iTunes to find my music library (hence telling it to follow the second path named above) as well as manually specifying the path to my music via the Music Folder option (and I gave it the first path named above). I think the server might have gone down both paths to add files in. And furthermore, I think there is some code in there that is normalizing the file names to avoid dupes due to symlinks, and that that code is failing for pathnames containing single quotes. The code bit is clever, but IMHO this is a bug -- if the code bit had not been there, the problem would have been a lot easier to diagnose. I'm not saying remove the code bit, just make it work properly. Incidentally, I seem to remember earlier versions of slimserver did not follow symlinks properly so you had to specify the root music folder manually.

[slim] Re: Beginning of Song Gets Cut Off
what kind of receiver do you have? It really sounds like the receiver is malfunctioning - it seems it is losing the s/pdif signal when it goes silent. It's not something I've heard of but I can think of a few possible ways it might happen. You might want to try the optical connection instead. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26307 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Also do you see any indicator lights on the receiver changing as the sound comes in and out? -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26307 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It really depends on the quality of the DAC in your receiver. Which depends a lot on the age of it, since DACs get better following Moore's Law, new designs are a lot better than old ones, even fairly high end. The SqueezeBox 3 has a pretty good DAC. I would expect it to be better than a four or five year old 'theater receiver' I would not expect it to be better than something like a Meridian Control center, but the Meridian costs at least $8,000 How many of you use RCA? First of all, there is little point in asking such a poll question. The user community is not the same as the folks on the forums and mailing lists. So it is not at all clear what the answer would mean, even if you got a decent statistical sample. Do you mean how many folks use the SqueezeBox analog output RCA jacks? A lot, probably the majority. Or do you mean how many use the RCA jack for digital out (S/PDIF)? A lot of folks do that, but I do not expect it to be a majority. I have tested both the coax/rca digital out and the toslink (optical) link to my external DAC, and I can tell absolutely no difference between them.
