Re: [slim] Playing cd's
Thanks for the great plug-in bpa. It's been a failing of the system not to be able to play a CD without first having to rip it, only then to find out the music was not worth the time & effort in the first place. One quirk I have found is, if I play just track 4 (cdplay://-t 4) on any CD I only get 35 seconds worth of music? all other tracks play out completely? Is it me or has any one else found this.

To answer my own question, apparently I need to purge the existing music database and then have SC7 rescan my entire iTunes library to get all the newly added artwork to show up both in SC7 and on the Controller. That DOES work, but do I seriously have to force a complete rescan every time I add a bit of album art?

They wanted the hardware to be as flexible as possible. There is audio hardware in the controller for the button sounds, so adding a 3.5mm jack would have been fairly trivial. Having the controller as just a controller at the moment is the _official_ stance. This may change at a future point.

Make sure you've given your player a name. When re-arranging your disks, you very likely changed the music folder setting. On the same page you should set a player name - if there was none, then this will lead to looong delays on the player interface. This bug is fixed in the upcoming 7.0.1 release.

Re: [slim] How to get Artwork?
Peter, This new script should do what you want... just change the flacBaseFolder variable to point to the your FLAC folder. Alternatively you could just use a file comparison program (such as Beyond Compare) and do a differences of just jpg files in your iTunes Music folder and FLAC folder. Then sync the new jpgs to your FLAC folder. I use Beyond Compare a lot for syncing different files between my iTunes and FLAC directories. Also, as far as testing any changes you want to make to the script... create a playlist in iTunes called "Test" and then change the bUseTestPlaylist variable in the script to true. The script will only work on the tracks in the Test playlist. - Jason herts101;284906 Wrote: > Just used the jsmathers script and it works really well.

[slim] Controller browsing Issue
Hi, I am running the Stable 7.0 SC on XP. I been having an issue with my controller. If I try to browse a directory structure within the music folder after the controller has been sitting for a minute or two, more often than not, the controller will freeze. Sometimes it will un-freeze and let me navigate the upper menu, but after it freezes once it will never allow me to enter an "artist" or "album" in the "music folder" again without turning off the controller. It does not appear to be a wifi issue. I have tried it in the same room as my WAP and have tried it in other rooms while wifi SB's have been streaming FLAC. Also I can usually turn off the SB via the controller while this is happening. I can also successfully browse the "music folder" directory structure with the standard remote while the controller is "hung up" Any comments or suggestions? cheers and thanks. -- sfraser 2 Chan.

Re: [slim] Problems setting up receiver
I received my 2nd Duet today (I always planned to have 2). I wanted to see if I would have problems setting up the 2nd receiver with a wireless connection as this would then confirm a firmware compatability issue with my router (Linksys WAG54GX2). Well, this was a different experience! I had the 2nd receiver setup (using the controller) in a couple of minutes and it was able to connect to SC on my music server with no power cycle reqd of the receiver or router. I wanted to compare the network settings (using Robin Bowes SBR Config tool) for the 2nd receiver with the 1st to see if there were any differences and these are listed below: Receiver 1 not working...
