Re: [slim] Browse Years
1. Is all your music stored somewhere below: F:\My Music ? If setup like you have done, SlimServer will only detect music that is either: - Found below F:\My Music - Part of a playlist 2. Is it just the Browse by Year that doesn't work or do you have the same problem with Browse by Genres and Browse by Artist ? 3. When you perform a rescan in SlimServer it is possible to select tree different options: - Clear library and rescan everything - Look for new and changed music - Only rescan playlists The latter two can cause problems if your timestamps in the music files aren't updated correctly.

Re: [slim] Still possible to buy SlimDevices (not Logitech) SB3 in UK?
FYI I bought two SB3s from Ebuyer, which although showed Slim Devices logos on the site, actually had Logitech logos on them when I received them. But I had to RMA one of them as the remote did not work, and they then ran out of stock, so just refunded me. I then bought a replacement (and an additional one, as I liked the SB3 so much) from datakits.co.uk. Both those had the old style logo! Interestingly they are the cheapest place to buy at the moment. And I tried to get another firm who I had used before to price match, and they wouldn't price match; was given some line about how the supplier said Datakits had no stock and are trying to disrupt the the online UK market. Very odd. But I had no probs, the Datakits order came on time, with two SB3s with nice old style logos.

Hi I've a question about having both MP3 and FLAC files of each track present in the same music folder. Can the server scanner be made to pick up the high quality (FLAC) file if present (ignoring the MP3), otherwise resort to the MP3? I run both because other users on our network can only use MP3 with various other players. The bulk of our collection is on MP3 at the moment but am re-ripping gradually to FLAC. I assume both would have to be in the same directory with the same filename (apart from the file extension). A great product - running softsqueeze now - hope to get the real thing soon...

I think you just need to be diligent in cleaning out the mp3 copy when you rip a Flac version of the same album. I would keep the Flac and mp3 libraries separate, which should make this kind of maintenance a lot easier. Create an empty music folder and point SlimServer at this folder.

[slim] Squeezebox using as Alarm Clock
Hello, At the moment I've a crappy radio alarm. I was looking for a nice solution to wake up by my favorite music :). The option of buying a Philips Ipod Dock is obsolete, because it has not enough space and poor sound quality. So I think the SqueezeBox will be perfect for this job. In my bedroom I've a receiver with 5 satellite speakers (Sony) connected. The problem I'll get I think is that the receiver has to be the whole night on with speaker volume on. This is not very pleasant,because the speakers give some noise (not much) when I turn the power volume high and no music is playing. Is there a way or product that my Pioneer Receiver switches from standby to On when the alarm starts or another workaround? Best Wishes.

If this is the case, performance on the server machine may be causing the problem. If it's a remote track, then the problem could be in a whole bunch of places -- your connection, your ISP, one of the routers in the hops between you and the the service you're using, or the service may bogged down and not keeping up. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this one... maybe someone else can chime in. -= Jim Hi Jim, The track is in my iTunes library and stored in Apple Lossless Format. I'm using Windows XP and when this happens I have nothing else running.

[slim] I really like my Squeezebox, but...
'MusicPal' (http://www.freecom.com/ecproduct_detail.asp?ID=3593CatID=8060sCatID=1147458ssCatID=1147458) is an awesome idea. I've got two squeezeboxes in the house (both connected to Logitech Z4 speakers. When are the new lords and masters actually going to come up with an optimised speaker bundle for use at an intro level with the squeezebox?!) and they work perfectly. I'm running the Slimserver on a Windows Home Server with more music on than I can listen to in a week (it's a consolidation of everything me, my wife and daughter own) as well as having Pandora streaming through it. But the other day we had friends over and wanted to sit on the deck and listen to music from the system. So much moving of cables for the squeezebox and speakers. I'd love a WiFi Boombox that talks to the Slimserver as a fully functional client, sounds good enough to use on the deck and can run off the mains or (rechargable) batteries. Maybe include a USB or card reader so I can plug in music on an iPod or a Zune if we're camping. As time goes by there's going to be more and more competition (assuming that SoundExchange don't kill the music) and more niche players... Logitech/SlimDevices certainly have the smarts and the capability to pull something like this off - shame MusicPal got their first. Depressingly a lot of people I show my Squeezebox set up to end up buying Sonos because of the all-in-one solution. MusicPal offers another pretty good reason to love the concept and go elsewhere. Me I'm sticking with the Slimserver for now... but need to find a better way to get music on the deck ;) -- OffBeatMammal OffBeatMammal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10360 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac
I've had enough of windows of my server. I detest it everytime something goes wrong. Thinking of getting a mac to use as my server. (I use macs mainly anyway). Mac Mini's are too expensive, iMacs are overkill so I'm thinking of picking up a used G4 powermac on ebay, something like a 400/500mhz. Anyone running slim server with a similar spec powermac? how's it perform? -- markwm markwm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12366 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I don't know a lot about how this process works, so I've sent a note over the the tech support group to solicit ideas for you. I believe it uses Quicktime for the initial decode, and that was recently updated... did you upgrade? Any chance the problem started with the new version of QT?

Re: [slim] Multi-format rips of same track
Hmm, pity. Your comments make good sense for easier maintenance though. I wonder if what I'd like to achieve could be done using user specific permission attributes on the MP3s to deny SlimServer read access on these files. With the SS service started by a unique user (per what's done on Windows for reading network folders). No good of course on simple systems like XP Home Ed.

Re: [slim] I really like my Squeezebox, but...
Squeezebox, T-amp, SLA batteries, LS3/5as and lots of duct tape. You have a SlimBoombox ;) Seriously, I agree, but I think that Slim will be coming out with a low-cost all-in-one soon. The architecture favours it (it's designed that way!), so it's a matter of time. The only issue I can think of is the possible revenue hit to the SB3 - only audiophiles would buy the SB3 for £200 when you can get a simpler (worse sound, crappy screen) version with speakers for £150. Will this increase overall revenues?

Re: [slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac
I bought a refurbished Mini from Apple (1.8GHz Core Duo) and it's AWESOME... only $600. You could probaly get a 400MHz G4 for $250-300 but then you'd porbably want to add a processor upgrade. (I have a 400MHz G4 but have put in a single 1.8GHz G4 upgrade into it... it also works as a great server). -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac
I bought a mac mini off of craigslist - the prices seem to be a bit better than eBay - though they vary more widely. I've seen several of the older mac minis (G4) go for 3 or 4 hundred dollars on craigslist - for a 1.25 Ghz machine! It is super quiet too. I think that a mac mini would make an ideal slimserver box. I've not used slimserver on the mac mini though - I'd already set up an inexpensive Linux server before I got it... -- kkitts kkitts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
