[slim] Is there a way to rename favourites?
Hi, I have gotten used to saving my own Tune in URL Internet radio stations as favourites, in order not to have to do the tuning in manually every time (there might be a better way to saver them?).

Re: [slim] Range of selectable volume
Sorry to raise an old thread, but it seems a relevant starting point. I am using SqueezeCenter 7 and two Squeezebox 1s (firmware 40) with the 0-100 volume control. However, the relationship between the volume setting and perceived volume output seems all wrong to me: (a) not much happens as you drop from 10040, output drops from 0 to -10dB (b) reasonable control between 4010, output drops from -10dB to -25dB (c) far too coarse control between 100, output drops from -25dB to -50dB I have measure the output and plotted this in the attachment, where the (linear) volume control setting from 0-100 is shown against the (log) audio level output from 0 to -50dB - see Actual Respose line. You can see that, whereas it should be a straight line relationship in this lin/log chart, it is actually a curve, indicating the volume control drives the control voltage of the voltage-controlled gain section linearly, whereas it should be driven logarithmically. I would suggest that (as shown by the Preferred Response? line) the output should drop by 0.5dB for each volume step - linearly throughout the range. Is there a plug-in to fix this, or would a software update be needed? Having only 100 values, a simple look-up table would suffice, surely? Any volunteers?

Re: [slim] Double Listings in Albums
A common problem I'm afraid. A search of the forum would probably turn up a few related threads. This will undoubtably be a tag issue. iTunes is a bit sneaky and adds its own tags - particularly inserting Disc number tags on compilation albums. I would recommend examining the tags carefully in a program such as MP3Tag - and delete all itunes comments, and disc number (unless you want that!) Also ensure you don't have multiple versions of ID3 tags. Once you are sure you have clean tags then do a rescan of the library. Of course if you must use itunes as your library manager you may have to stop it re-writting the tags.

Re: [slim] Remote Control Feature Request
Thanks. I didn't realize I wasn't clear. I will try to be as explicit as possible: My questions: 1) It is not clear how to set up favorites to the remote buttons [1-9] in the instructions. No where can I find in the instructions it stated that holding button 2 on the remote will play #2 in your favorites in squeezecenter for example. This is what I want explained. 2) Does this differ based on whether you are logged into squeezenetwork versus squeezecenter [slimserver]? For example, if you use squeezenetwork [which I do mostly] and press #2 on the remote, will it take you to #2 on your squeezenetwork favorite. My concern is I am not getting a consistent result when I press and hold a number key down whether I am in SC or SN. What my goal is to push a number key on the remote and have it automatically start playing a specific favorite in SN without having to use the arrow keys to scroll. I am using the beta of SN/SC and was trying to also help debug if there is an issue.

I am using the beta of SN/SC and was trying to also help debug if there is an issue. Hope I am clearer here. Well, I only use the SN portion of my SB3 (no computer streaming) so there may be differences in this remote usage between SC SN. However, I believe it works as follows: You press favorites on remote, then pressing a number on the remote is ALPHA. So if you wanted your favorite station jazz.fm you would press the number 5 button (5 = J-K-L). When you reach the favorite you want you must press play. The number buttons are basically search shortcut buttons, not play buttons. After J-K-L it will look for anything with a 5 (numeric). The problem with this is that (currently) your SN favorites are arranged in the order in which you selected them as favorites, not alphabetically. You can move them around via the SN web interface to be alpha if you choose. I edited the station name of all of my favorites adding a genre for easier searching categorizing, then organized them by that genre them. Ex: 181.fm Smooth Jazz became Jazz 181.fm Smooth Jazz This way all of my genres are alphabetical and searching is easier, I just press 5 for J (jazz). SN is supposed to be adding editable/customizable sub favorites categories for our use so we can organize our favorites in say 10 separate folders as we see fit. For me making 10 different genre folders would make a LOT of sense and is long overdue. But this is just a future plan for SN, not available now even in beta.

Re: [slim] Double Listings in Albums
As your library grows it is vitally important to have a single tagging format. If you download much music you'll find a variety of tagging. Are you using cover art? As a separate filed cover.jpg or is it embedded? If you have BOTH of these then you can end up with duplicate entries. I use MP3tag to tag my files. When I first started I have thousands of files to fix. Eventually, I cleaned it up and everything shows up like it should.

Re: [slim] WMA on SB3 natively?
From the wiki: wiki Wrote: Native or Transcoded? In the Slimserver/Squeezebox world, this can be an important difference. The various models of Squeezebox can handle different file types internally, so given (for example) an MP3 file can decode it into music within the box. Other file types can't be handled within the Squeezebox and are transcoded, i.e. decoded in the Slimserver into another format that the Squeezebox does know how to handle (see also: Transcoding). SB2/3 natively handles MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC and WMA (except WMA Lossless): earlier models just MP3. See HardwareComparison. Another significant difference for a Squeezebox is that you can fast-forward or rewind with a format that can be played natively, but not one that is being transcoded. Are you trying to play WMA Lossless by any chance? You also need a hardware player (but I see you have an SB3) - you're not trying to use Softsqueeze as well are you? If you are still getting a message about ffmpeg, check your file conversion settings aren't set to transcode WMA into another format. -- Siduhe Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43799 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] WMA on SB3 natively?
You may also need it if some radio stations that you listen to only support mms transport and not http. I have a recollection that aome radio stations (espcially talk sports) used a special WMA codec called Voice codec and this codec was not supported by SB3 - this may still be the case I'm not sure. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43799 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Audioengine 5
I am interested in either the A2 or the A5 and I took the opportunity to listen to them in a shop today. The A2 speakers are tiny, no bigger than most computer speakers. BUT - I didn't find they sounded particularly bad compared to the A5. They sounded a little boxy and constrained compared to the A5, but not bad. Certainly loud enough, certainly enough bass - I found they were bassier than the A5. You definitely don't need a sub with these things. Now of course the A5 sounds effortless. I did find their input level trip point a little high, I had to really crank the input volume to get them to turn on. This would mean the Squeezebox alarm fade-in wouldn't work, it would only kick in when the volume reached near maximum so it would start late. On the other hand, there was a bunch of stuff on the A5 that I'd be paying for but couldn't use - USB charging jack, secondary inputs, 120 VAC power outlet. And that bright blue LED would be distracting in a dark bedroom. I found the A2 finish better than the A5, a glossy piano black, very smooth, much like the SB3 black plastic and the remote plastic. The A5s looked cheaper actually, a matte plastic, some fit and finish blemishes and not the nice finish the A2 comes in. The back panels on each are very impressive, quite solid and with a considerable amount of connection options. The two speakers are connected together with conventional speaker wire, meaning you could use a custom length. The A2 has a metal volume knob on the back, the A5 a plastic volume knob on the front which feels cheap. Obviously I'm leaning towards the A2. I could be very happy with that sound actually. The A5 sounded better - but with a couple of caveats. I may not be able to justify the price difference between the A2 and the A5. -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.

Re: [slim] Should Internet radio AAC stream work?
It is transcoded into Flac. The display routines show the format of the original stream as that will reflect the actual quality. The way AAC and AAC+ is handled is a bit unusual but it enabled the Song titles to be displayed. There is little point in saying a 64kbps AAC+ stream is a Flac stream - the quality will not be there and the user may then complain that the Flac stream is not working well. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox review: Laptop Logic
Great feedback, and like I stated - there is the option for regular ethernet connection. BUT, this is marketed as a wireless streaming device - so that's what the article is geared towards. I run high security on my laptop, router NAT, and Yoggie Pico security device - port forwarding MUST occur for me. If you are not worried about firewall settings, that's your data. Not mine. And you're right, I should restate on lossy vs. Lossless transfer, it's what I meant, and realize I should change that comment. No CD in the box is a welcomed addition, and completely understood relying this product makes use of an active network - you probably 99% have access to an internet connection as well to download it. It isn't bad, it was just noted. While it can process 5.1 files, it will not output 5.1 through an audio file that isn't encoded with it (as a standalone processor might). I'll make note that you need to have a 5.1 DTS reciever and 5.1 WAV + flac file to take advantage of this. Taking advantage of the slimserver network and utilizing a seperate computer in sub. for a squeezebox was awesome!
