It's debatable whether SlimServer is somewhat confused by having both id3v1 and id3v2 tags in a file, or whether the confusion is with the user. Many tagging programs make a mash of having both tags, so you often don't know what's what. Eliminating the id3v1 tag often eliminates the confusion. id3v2.4 offers a TSOP 'native' frame, which is the equivalent of FLAC's 'ARTISTSORT'. But I suspect that if that frame is prsent in a id3v2.3 tag, it would work just as well with SlimServer. Even if you don't use that tag you can use a TXXX tag of 'ARTISTSORT' to accomplish the exact same thing. Many ways to skin the same cat in SlimServer, which is nice... -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39161 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Local Radio?
I think poor reception is a frequent problem with WiFi devices that have Radio and do not have an external antenna. If you look at the Roku forums you'll see there are plenty of users who complain about the Roku's poor AM performance and who have to attach an external antenna for FM. I have the Griffin Shark2 and found without an antenna it gets all the local FM stations. It is not well documented but you can use an external antenna with the Shark2 and I use it with my local cable so I can get BBC stations with FM quality. IIRC The AM reception is not good but I don't use AM much and it is possible a long USB cable would enable a better position away from the various PC related PSUs. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39376 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Buffer fullness
There is a known issue with flac files compressed at more than -5 from what I remember. The actual CPU in the SB3 struggles to decode the flac fast enough to keep the playback buffer full.

No, Tiger itself doesn't get past this limit. However, there is something called the SpeedTools ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver that does (and doesn't require upgrading the IDE controller). It costs $25. I use it on my Mac Cube with a 250GB IDE drive and it works fine.

[slim] SB3 rebuffering and reset problems
I have used two SBs on my n/w for years with no problems but my new SB3 (ss6.5.4 f/w 81) is another matter. It constantly resets or stops for rebuffering. I know this is not my n/w setup as I have 2 other SBs v1 and v2 running fine alongside. It happens whether wired or wireless. It happens running from my internal server so not a broadband or ISP issue. I had assumed this is a hardware problem but searching the forum I see this is a recent common problem with SB3. I am writing this post for two reasons a) to find if anyone has resolved this issue and b) to assure people that in spite of what they being told this seems to be a real issue and not something to do with individual setups etc. -- inca inca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39402 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
