Re: [slim] Thinking about sending two SBs back.
I appreciate everyone's comments. Thanks! Forgive my semi-rant above, but I am trying to give candid feedback on this product from a first-use perspective. While I appreciate the technical capabilities of the SB fans on this forum, the masses do not possess these skills and thus any answer with the word linux (or any of its derivatives) is not a solution for me, and most people. I hope the folks at SD do read this thread. I think the product has some major issues that need to be addressed for this product to survive. It will take Apple five minutes to make a competing product that works with iTunes, works well, and doesn't require setting up a linux box to use. And it will come in a really nice box -- which, btw, SD did well with the little black and red drawer inside its box. Take Sonoa, for example. The big advantage to the SB is that it is cheaper than Sonos. Sonos, on the other hand, just works and is easy to use. Again compare the ipod to various other mp3 players that are probably better and cheaper, but more difficult to use. The ipod is destroying them. Anyway, I guess I had four basic comments in my original post: 1) the remote lacking 26 letter buttons; 2) the Rhapsody search results being horrible; 3) the SN being slow; and 4) no direct, off the shelf, NAS connection. Re 1), no I don't use my cell phone to text. I have both a berry and a regular cell phone. I use the berry for sending email and SMS. Also, this gripe with the remote needs to be taken in context with the SN slowness and the crummy search results problems. If I have to press the 7 button four times and have to wait two seconds between presses, that is 8 seconds to enter one letter! Then, if I don't enter the complete name (e.g., Carole King), I get back 275 search results (see the Rhapsody post mentioned above). Ugh, then I need to start over. Next time, I just enter the full name (which takes about 2 minutes to do and two years off my life) and wonder whether I really want to sign up for Rhapsody. I presume whether I sign up for Rhapsody matters to the folks at SD as they probably get a piece of the action. Re 2), I read the Rhapsody thread and I appreciate the complexities of the problem. That said, the thread was from April. Where is the fix? I see several great suggestions, both recognized by Real and SD, so why does the product still have this problem at Christmas? Re 3), don't blame Verizon FIOS. It is not a slow ISP. And if it is, it is state of the art. The slowness is SD's problem if they want to sell the units. They need to figure out a way to fix this. For example, why does every letter I enter need to go back to the SN? Why can't I enter a whole word and have it then get sent as a bundle back to the SN? Sort of the same way that I am entering this post -- the whole post gets sent at once. I don't expect it to instantly start a song or log into the squeeze network, but there should only be a couple of times, when I experience latency. Not every time I press a button. Re 4), I don't know linux and don't want to. I just want to buy a music player. I don't want to leave my computer on all of the time, but would be happy to leave a NAS on all of the time. Whether this makes sense or not doesn't really matter because it is driving how I spend my money. Which I am happy to give to SD if they make a product that can fill the need. Sonos does, but it is more expensive. I am willing to give up the fancy remote of Sonos for less money, but expect similar features -- like the ability to read music directly from the NAS without any hacks. Again, sorry for being critical of the SB and SD, but unless you can tell me that my issues above are wrong, these really are unacceptable problems in a third generation product. While this product is great for people who are hard core techies, it will never survive with non-techies who don't have an IT department unless these issues are fixed. -- MattB MattB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41393 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No, your issues are not wrong, they are perfectly valid from the consumer/clinet point of view. And you have right to vote with your wallet. Sonos unit offers some goodies that you consider important. However, they come with the price (I understand more than double). You may not realize it, but the techincall difference between the two is more than just a fancy remote. However, as you have noticed, this product is (has been) geared towards the somewhat technical crowd that tends to get involved, or have needs that match the product. For example, I don't care for internet feeds all that much. Prefer higher quality sound and to listen to the music of my own choioce. I also poses technical ability to get out of the box functionality from SB in about 5 minutes. So for me, SB is perfect and offers much more value than sonos. After all, how often one makes $300+ for a 5 minutes of work. Now, if you choose to still give a SB concept a chance, you might find out that some of your concerns are easily resolved. For example: - slow and non-responsive remote: I have re-mapped my amp's remote to control SB with its CD dedicated keys. It is way faster and SB reacts to it better that to the original one. - too many keystrokes: there's a plugin called 'Lazy Search'. Very nice piece that would allow you to get to your exemplary 7 character search in maybe 4 or 5 strokes. (it's not based on 26 key kbd, but on the theory of probability - 'smart involvement rather than throwing money away', at works again) - PC vs. NAS: right now, I'm listening to the music away from home that comes from 'buddy'. I left it on this morning when I left home. 'Buddy' is my music server, that I choose not to call either PC or NAS. So, no PCs or NOSs involved, just 'buddy' :). Seriously, you do realise that NOS is just a PC in a different skin and with the serious performance issues. So, if you are going to have something on, it really doesn't matter how it's called. Lots of people here have old PCs that are used as NAS's, always on and tucked somewhere away. But hey, if you still shoose to go different route, there's nothing wrong with that too.

Re: [slim] Can I plug an SB3 directly into my laptop?
A safe bet is to buy a very simple switch with ethernet only connectors, there are heaps of possibilites, D-link provides some very reasonably priced alternatives. Just make sure there's a dhcp server in the switch, if not, you will have to set a fixed ip address in your laptop and you don't want to do that. (At least I don't) Normally, You can configure the switch so that your laptop's mac address always gets the the same ip address, allowing the config of the SB3 to connect to a fixed ip address. I'm using such a setup myself with a D-Link DI-604 switch, because I'm having issues with wireless coverage Our house is too large :-) This is much better than using special setup and crossed cables.

Re: [slim] Can I plug an SB3 directly into my laptop?
A simple crossover ethernet cable is the most that you'll need. But you'll need to set the laptop's nic the SB to static IP addresses on the same subnet. (E.g. laptop=192.168.1.100, SB=192.168.1.101). I've put together a couple of SB setups wiring the SB directly to a mini-itx based linux slimserver using a very short crossover cable and static IPs. With the wired=wireless bridging on the SB turned on, I can even tie the whole thing (the SB AND the server) wirelessly to the local network. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41461 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Can I plug an SB3 directly into my laptop?
The downside with using the hardwired cabling is that you have to set fixed addresses in both the SB3 and the laptop, if the laptop stay fixed there, then that's fine and it will work... But if you're moving the laptop around you will have to reconfigure the ip addresses on the network card every time you hook the pc up to another hardwired network.

I CORRECT MYSELF: You can set an autoconfiguration ip-address on your network card (if you're running windows?) This means: if there's no dhcp server around, then you'll get at default IP adress that will apply when you're using the hardwired setup. And if you additionally configure the card to automatically receive IP addresses, then you will also get the IP address when there's a dhcp server around. In which way, the laptop will work at home with your squeezebox, and on the road with other networks. No reconfiguring at all.

Re: [slim] Can I play files not indexed in the library?
Someone else may come along with a better answer, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no with one exception. That is (assuming the file is in the directory/subdirectories pointed to in the SB server settings) you can browse/music folder to the song. This situation would happen when you've recently ripped/acquired new music files and haven't yet done a scan to pick up new music. Browsing to the file will also add the song to the SS database at the same time. This can be done from the remote. You can also do it using the web interface from a machine not running Slimserver if both are on the network and there isn't any security getting in the way.

Re: [slim] Music Library Problem
If you click the playlist name I think you should see a 'Delete' button and be able to rename the playlist. Then again, maybe it's not the same for iTunes imported playlists as it is for file based playlists. iTunes playlists can't neither be edited nor deleted. But they shouldn't show up unless you use iTunes integration. I'm also a little suprised that a clear/rescan type of rescan doesn't blow these away. I thought that everything in the database was deleted with such a scan. It definitely should.

Re: [slim] Can I play files not indexed in the library?
Thanks for the tips on the Tune in URL box. Didn't know it could be used with a filename. After seeing it work, I traced the HTTP headers from the Web interface and saw how the requests work at that level. Then I hacked a small Python program to do it from the command line. After a bit more searching, I found the HTTP interface documented under Help, Technical Information, The SlimServer Web Interface. Now I can play a file or add (queue) it to the playlist from the command line. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again. -- RayG RayG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41470 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimTray disappears
relation but I had tried out Slimcenter 7.0(beta) a while ago but removed it because it was too buggy. I'm using Windows XP SP2 Please try SC7 again - not only should it be pretty stable by now. But it also addresses some of the random crashes in the tray icon we've seen. Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SlimTray disappears
Thanks for your response but it turns out the problem was with Windows and not SS. I realized that other icons were starting to drop like flies after each startup. I found the fix here: http://winhlp.com/node/16 I'll probably give SC7 another try soon but for now I'm just happy to have my icons back. -- Turnandcough Turnandcough's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41475 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Any word of SB4?
Michael Herger wrote: (twice as good and half the price) What would double the SB's value for you? Well according to the Jive interface it should have a button on the front... (try Setup Squeezebox) I see the SB as just a component in my media network and it seems to be doing pretty well as it is. They could put in some of the Transporter features, but I'm really not too eager about that.
