This is a bit off topic first. Not completely separate - Porsche own 25% of VW (i.e. blocking rights) and F. Piech chairman of VW supervisory board owns about 12% of Porche and was CEO of VW up to 2002. Following the analogy in relation to SD. The VW Phaeton was a commercial failure - people didn't want to pay over $100k for a VW but the Bentley (also owned by VW) with the same mechanicals can't keep up with sales. The badge and pedigree seems to be important to show other people. If the same logic applies - Logitech should be able to sell - cheaper Squeezeboxes in new cases badged Logitech (Powered by Slimdevices) possibly with cheaper components (e.g. cheaper PS, DAC) - move the Slimdevices brand upmarket with dearer SB2plus using technology from transporter.

If you must pirate, for whatever reason, please don't do it in a way that remunerates the dishonest. Indeed, well said. You make an excellent point, and i do largely agree with you. But you could look at it another way; By using Bittorrent you are give the RIAA/BPI the excuses and ammo they need to continue on thier stupid crusade and using heavy handed tatics and overly restrictive DRM because we are all criminals and must be stupid at any costs (consumer rights). Using AllOfMP3.com could be considered a 'protest purchace' in many ways. If The RIAA/BPI could only just realise that this is what customers want. That said, i do prefer to buy CD's when i can. For me, it's not about the price, i would be happy to pay more - it's about quality, value for money, choice and the ability to play my music where, when and on what device i want. I'm not actually anti-DRM per say, if the record industry wanted to win people over they should force the music vendors to open up the DRM to allow people to use there music on all there devices, while still retricting the sharing for files. Such a system is not imposible - the music could be locked to my PC, allowing it to be played on my Squeezebox, ipod, PDA, whatever without me sharing it with someone else, simular to what thet are doing with HD content. But it's not just the RIAA/BPI's fault, the likes of Apple are wrong to lock down thier music to thier devices. If every vendor opened up thier DRM then Apple, etc, could actually gain some customers, such as the ones that have bought lot of MS Plays For Sure stuff but would now like an Ipod to pay it on. People would by more music too - If they starting making CD's that could only be played on one CD player, it market would fall through the floor. So by that logic, opening up DRM would make the download market properly explode. It would be better for consumer too, as music prices would have to become more competitive, the services would have to offer better quality and the player manufactures would have to concentrate on just making the best devices, as they can't rely on Jo Public having to buy device X just to play the $/£100's of music they have invested in. AllOfMP3 may not be the most ethical of companies and thier days may be numbered.

[slim] Re: Squeezebox-like device for video?
Thanks for all the answers. This has given me a huge start on looking at suitable technology. SadGamerGeek's solution is temping because it would force me to buy an X-box (such hardship!) although I would prefer to use a PS3 because I prefer to support Blu-Ray rather than HD DVD. The trouble is that right now the Xbox seems to be way ahead of PlayStation as far as media centre capability is concerned but I can't believe Sony can afford to allow this to continue for too long. Then again, maybe Sony can't afford much nowadays after all their battery-recall and PS3 shipment delay disasters! I won't clog up this thread much more, since I'm aware it isn't really SB-related, but I will say one thing re SadGamerGeek's poor streaming speeds over Wireless since that is something that in poor reception could affect SB2 users. I just did a bit of Googling and the new 200Mb powerline devices (conforming to the newer Homeplug AV spec) seem to be available now and not too expensive. Here's a link to the Netgear stuff (from the UK site, but I would expect that the same stuff must be on the other country sites): http://www.netgear.co.uk/wallplugged_adapterkit_hdxb101.php Although my wireless SB2 works perfectly, my experience of using 802.11g for connecting remotely to another PC to use some remote desktop software to control it is that even on an empty network with 100% signal, 54Mb connectivity, and the devices about 2 metres away from each other, the effective bandwidth is still way short of the theoretical 54Mb. I eventually switched to 100Mb wired to connect to my other PC and got at least a 5 times performance increase if not greater so I suspect that my effective bandwidth over my perfect wireless connection was 20Mb or even less. If the Powerline devices only deliver even 15% of their claimed performance then you (SadGamerGeek) should see a massive improvement. I personally hadn't realised how far the technology had come on in the last 18 months so I thank SadGamerGeek a second time for inadvertently encouraging me to go off and explore the latest PowerLine technology and discover such a pleasant surprise. Thanks again to everyone who steered me in some good directions. It seems I actually have a number of attractive options and I thought I had none.

[slim] Re: Visa and Mastercard Cut Off AllofMP3
Interesting thread. Personally, with CD prices so low these days, I have been quite happy to buy CDs to rip even when I already have an old vinyl copy. My interest in this thread is prompted by those albums that don't seem to be readily available on CD. To take one example, I have a copy of Psychic TV's Dreams Less Sweet on vinyl. There was a CD produced, but it seems to have been deleted, so what to do? I could go through the pain of ripping from vinyl, but I know that particular LP has a lot of static and cleaning doesn't seem to help much (true of quite a few in the collection). Someone is selling a copy through Amazon second hand for US$69.99 (no royalties for the artist there of course!). I could try to find it for BitTorrent but, although I have never used allofmp3, I notice that the whole album is available for dowload for $2.53. Very tempting (although it does seem to only be available in 192kbps...would a flac rip of the vinyl be better? probably not!). Ethical dilemmas abound! If I could buy it on cd for $10-20 I'd do it in a flash. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28858 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

What are people using for compact players with the Squeezebox? I have heard of people using setups as inexpensive as a set of powered set of PC speakers connected to the headphone jack on up to high-dollar audiophile mini systems. It all depends on how good you want your sound to be in the kitchen ... keeping in mind that kitchens don't typically make the most ideal listening environment with lots of hard surfaces, ambient noise, things that rattle, etc... Personally, I think a quality set of powered speakers would do you just fine if you don't also need the ability to play CD's or other packaged media or tune into over the air broadcasts. -- jeffluckett jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I made the decision that I would buy now - and maybe again in the future. I wanted another one which I could work with; modify etc safe in the bank. The future is bright - the future is orange. Sorry wrong brand - but you cannot predict what will happen - probably even SD et al dont rightly know. The transporter is a definite buy now, may not be able to again. But I suspect SB's will be around in some form or another for a long time yet; just not necessarily with the current level of loving care and attention in the development and assembly. It could be even more loving care and attention in which case I would buy another... If Logitech step in and make lots of changes, if there is a cheaper SB3 v2 coming out, if they rebrand the boxes and hardware, I would be suprised to see it hit the general market / distributors before end november. Logitech may still try a hard sell for Christmas - but even then there is probably not enough stock available for demand.

Kevin O. Lepard;148953 Wrote: Will it make any difference? Any conjectures? Buy a Slim branded device or wait for a Logitech device? If it meets your needs now, buy now. I own 3 SB2s and 1 SB3, and would really love to buy a Transporter. I would have no qualms about purchasing any of them. The dilemma is more subtle than this. I am *very* interested in buying a Transporter. The hardware as it stands now seems to meet my needs. But I need to know that the firmware update Sean promised (back when it was still his company), to add the digital FX loop and fix the vibrating knob even though you've only used the remote bug, is still going to happen. The danger of buying a Transporter now is that Logitech might quickly decide it's not in their product future and cease all development work - and hence no firmware update. So the answer seems clear: wait to buy a Transporter until I've seen the firmware update in the field. But by that time, it's possible that the Logitech bean-counters have forced some cost-reductions through and the hardware design has been compromised. There again, it's also possible that some changes to the Transporter might actually be an improvement. (One cost reduction I'd be happy about would be the removal of the knob altogether - it may be cool, but I can't see myself using it). So you see, I'm in a serious quandry, and suspect others may feel the same way. -- cliveb Performers - dozens of mixers and effects - clipped/hypercompressed mastering - you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

After stripping out the ALBUMARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST tags with MP3Tag, I noticed that I had another artist field in mp3 only tags called BAND. I removed that as well. Then I tried it again, and it was a little better, but still several hundred artists are gone (800 about). I then looked at my compliation albums that I ripped in FLAC, and there was another field, called ENSEMBLE, with Various Artists in it. I removed this as well from all files. I rescanned again, and it was better, but I still was missing 600 artists. I gave up, reinstalled 6.3 and rescanned again. Now, I have a bunch of albums that are cut up. All are various artists albums, and I could not figure out what the heck is wrong with them. I restored the old, unedited files that worked fine, and rescanned. Same problem. All my compilation albums messed up. I would have three albums with the same name, with 4 or 5 tracks in each one. All the tracks and artists were there, but I suddenly had 70 more albums. I was baffled, so I decided to remove all my playlists and rescan again. Once the playlists were removed, my libary returned to normal. I then put the playlists back in the correct folder, and had SS just scan the playlists. Everything was fine. Sorry about the long story, but I am getting to the point Finally, I reinstalled 6.5.1, removed the playlists again, and scanned. MY LIBARY DATABASE IS CORRECT!!

[slim] Re: Logitech to acquire Slim Devices!
But for the audiophiles who talk of their audio systems like they talk of fine wines, mechanical watches or art, this doesn't really work. Hello, all along this thread i keep reading how audiophiles like a product or don't by just looking at the brand name or the faceplate. Please stop that nonsense. I could be labelled as an audiophile, yet i've been listening to music from a computer for many years, using a pro soundcard or now the Squeezebox. I don't have fancy cables (1 or 2 maybe...), i have a Tact RCS but also some cheap DVD players, a turntable,...etc.. I make my choices by gathering informations (friends, forums, magazines) and in the end by listening. In France, a very popular item among audiophiles is a cheap Philips CD player, the 723 (cost +/- $120) and it got good reviews from HiFi mags. An audiophile is a person who loves music first and then seeks for the best to listen to it. Maybe you have met a fraction of the audiophile community that we call idiophiles, who come with big money and no clue at all about sound. I have met one who can hear the advantages of the green pen on a cd but can't realize that one speaker has a broken driver, another one with a full Tact system which gets worse every time i pay a visit, but they are a minority. I first heard of the squeezebox on an audiophile forum, by participants who had megabucks systems, and speaking of brand names, a thing called Squeezebox by a company called Slim Devices hasn't got great credibility, could have been Logitech as well. Your post triggered my answer but it's not specially directed to you, it was just the last drop.

They've offered to give 15% of their income to the record associations.. the record associations have just been greedy and not taking the money. They have a product, at a resonable price point. (a full 80 minute cd at the quality I like comes to ~$3-4$..) - and it's extremely easy to use. I.e. I think of something I want, I go to their site and add it; my slingbox server has a program which then automaticlaly downloads it.. - why wouldn't you use that? so far the record asssociations in the US haven't given us anything with anywhere near that usability. -mark adamslim;148980 Wrote: What are you doing giving these people money?

junien;147410 Wrote: Let me introduce myself. My name is Junien Labrousse, Logitech SVP of the Entertainment and Communication Business Unit. Greetings! Let me introduce myself: I've been a user of the SlimServer software for several years, loving it so much that I built a computer just to house my music library and SlimServer installation, researching and learning open-source operating system s (I chose FreeBSD) to do so. However, I've never been able to afford a Squeezebox. I use the software every day (in conjunction with the MusicMagicMixer after ripping my CDs with EAC and tagging them with the MusicBrainz tagger), streaming music from my home to my desktop at work. At home I have softsqueeze installed on the family laptops and they use it. So, while I absolutely hope you can continue to maintain and even improve the audiophile aspects of the current Slim Devices products, I've always hoped that there would be a low-cost alternative so that it could be more easily adopted by more typical, non-audiophile consumers (of course while still sounding great). I guess I just want you to hear from a customer who has been waiting in the wings for a lower cost product. I'm willing to sacrifice features of the current device so I can more readily get networked audio into multiple rooms of my house. Personally, I would sacrifice the built-in display and the digital outs. For display, just give me an S-Video, or even composite video, and I'll hook it into my existing home theater. Again, don't take the display and the high-end D/A converters away from the people that want them! Just hit me with a $100 product without them. :) In the meantime, I'm a very delighted SlimServer user. -- thing-fish [image: http://imagegen.last.fm/3line/recenttracks/thing-fish.gif] thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I think that's pretty cool that Olive embraced the 770 as a remote control. The statement Olive's new RONDO remote control interface works with any networked PC, touch-panel, or PDA. translates to it's browser-based. They're just using the 770 as a type example of how a browser-based remote app can be a nice way to control things. I applaud them for that. Also, I echo what KDF and aubuti said-- This is already available with Slimserver and Nokia770 skin. I've said this on other threads, but I've gone to great lengths to approach a remote control like experience with the Nokia770 skin by using AJAX for background calls to slimserver. FYI, both Nokia770 and Touch skins are very nice to use on a plain-ol PC, with the one caveat that IE is buggy, so you should use Firefox or Opera. Give 'em a shot.
