[slim] FLAC files now very distorted - MP3s ok
If I play back any FLAC track it starts off ok for about 5 seconds, then becomes more and more distorted - just breaks up totally.

[slim] .NET conflict
I am running SC 7.0.1 - 19522 on Vista SP1 32bit. I have just had to install .NET 1.1(and associated SP and Security update) which is needed by McAfee backup and restore. After doing this I get a .NET conflict "An unhandled exception has occurred in your application .Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted" SC was working perfectly fine before I installed .NET 1.1, but now it is stopped unless I restart the machine in which case SC starts but McAfee backup will not start. So it seems to me that this could be a conflict between SC and McAfee Backup with .NET 1.1. Has any one seen this problem before? Is it possible to change the socket address for SC to avoid the conflict?

[slim] Controlling SS with iTunes?
I see there was a thread a few years back about controlling a SlimServer with iTunes, but nothing since. I wonder if this is now possible in any way? Apart from the fact that iTunes is a vastly faster interface than the SS web interface, I'm intrigued by the new Remote app for the iPhone, that lets you controll iTunes with a nice interface from the iPhone. There are many times when I do want the features that SS has, but much of the time, to be honest, I'm just using it to play music from iTunes--just a connection, in effect, from iTunes to a set of speakers connected to my stereo instead of my computer. It would be nice to be able to control this all through the faster iTunes interface. (It would also satisfy my girlfriend, who's not interested in keeping track of different interfaces just to hear music at home!) -- jest jest's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] FLAC files now very distorted - MP3s ok
Yes - it breaks up - stutters and comes to a halt. And now it is starting to happen on MP3s - the behaviour is a little different.it goes distorted/stuttering then starts rebuffering. So it is not just for FLACs now. Yes it is wireless - and has been working perfectly for 6 months or so. There has been no recent change to the infrastructure in the house. I have rebooted modem/wireless router. Is there anything I can test - to see what might be the cause? I just did a scan for wireless networks - and found my Linksys (Encrypted) with 100% strength. I also found another duplicate Linksys - which is Open ie not encrypted. Not sure what has happened here.Help!!!

Like Phil said, run the network health test that comes with SC and report back. There are a lot of possibilities for the new interference, such as neighbors with new wireless networks (or just new routers), 2.4GHz phones, etc. You could install NetStumbler to find out what wireless channel(s) they are operating on and then change your channel to something that is non-overlapping.

Re: [slim] FLAC files now very distorted - MP3s ok
Hi I ran NetStumbler (see attached screen dump) - and it shows 2 Linksys (my SSID) entries. I changed (via the Linksys 192.168.1.1) the channel to channel 12. I'm not sure why there are 2 entries as there is only one modem/router. I also switched off the cordless phone in the house. None of this makes a difference - and it still stutters/breaks then grinds to a halt. I get 100% wireless strength on the laptop close to the Squeezebox.

I'm not even sure I understand your question. My PC is running Windows XP.

I got a confirmation that SqueezeCenter was running, but when I tried to go to the web page, it said the page couldn't be loaded. I tried to get to it in IE as well as Firefox, with my firewall completely disabled, but no dice.

Sodo you mean there is another linksys router in da house? That is not possible - there is just one modem, one router, one server. How can I delete that 'rogue' entry? Anyway as per attached, I went into the linksys url and changed the channel to 3 (although it shows up on NetStumbler as 3*, 12). I then rebooted again the Squeezebox. It made no difference. I am wondering if it is some setting which is about 'buffering' in some way - as it also is stuttering on Radio. It never used to do any of this. I am also wondering if it is connected with the failed attempts to properly install/connect Squeezecentre - as it was fine with SlimServer.

Re: [slim] FLAC files now very distorted - MP3s ok
The 2nd router could be a neighbours not a rogue. Test this possibility by turning off your linksys router and then run NetStumbler - if there is only one linksys router left then there is a neighbouring router causing the problem. In terms of network testing. From SB3 run the Network Test under Extras. To play Flac files you need 100% at least 1500kbps sustained for a few minutes.

Re: [slim] bye squeeze, hello ipod
It certainly looks interesting but it won't do FLAC. Web radio is also better on Squeezebox. It's also a better audiophile solution. Although I have a Touch, I don't think I should pay for software updates as a point of principle. I've paid for one and resented it, I don't want to pay for anymore - even if it's cheap. Microsoft don't do it with the Zune and they haven't fallen foul of SOX so why should Apple? It's a widespread gripe as you can see from many other message boards. It would be interesting to see if connection stability is as good or better. The main fault of the Squeezebox IMO is the way it copes when it loses connection. The UI on the Touch is years ahead of the one on the Duet handset albeit on a much more expensive device. -- HectorHughMunro HectorHughMunro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16514 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It's not the fidelity that is the issue (it either works perfectly or it stutters - there's no real middle ground on this). You need to run the network & server health test. It sounds like you still have wireless netwrok issues. Your setup has two wireless hope (server to router, router to SB) so you are on the edge of reliability IMHO. Do you know how to run the server test? - enable the plugin, restart SS and rune the test...report back.

Re: [slim] FLAC files now very distorted - MP3s ok
Just before we get into that, I think that the 'ouch' just got a stutter was because Laptop2 was still associated with 'Linksys'. I went to check out L2 - and music was still playing - then when I started messing with the network settings (to get it on to the new SSID) I could hear the music stutter even more.then when I Shut Down L2 and skipped to the next track - it has...so farbeen perfect. Anyway the server software is also doing my head in a bit.

Hi ok At 1500, this is the Signal Strenght result so far. I have a slight confession.I noticed that I had put a large solid box (of vinyl) in front of the wireless router - and I guess this may also have had an impact. At least, the average seems to be increasing - as we speak it is now 43.% and going up.

Re: [slim] bye squeeze, hello ipod
I have one of the old iPhones, and got the new software, including the remote app. I mostly use iTunes when I want to listen on my computer, and SB when I want to listen throughout the house. The iPhone "remote" is cool because it is not IR -- it uses the iPhone's wireless connection to talk to iTunes on the computer. Slick. So it would be totally cool for me to have iTunes running and providing a menu and have it play using the SB's player. Yet I have been struggling for several years now to make the iTunes support in SlimServer work completely, notably with playlists. Sometimes it works, then I upgrade, or make a change and then it sort of works, or rescanning fails, or playlists are listed but contents are not read, etc, etc, etc. Sure, Apple's not making life easy for anyone but themselves, and iTunes is a moving target (and don't get me started about DRM :-) but the Slim/Logitech folks can either fight, or they can embrace iTunes. I love my SqueezeBoxes. I have been using this product for years now. When it works it's great. But I have to say that it frequently doesn't work, and it's frustrating enough to throw up my hands and go the AirTunes direction ... and know it will just work. So rather than making remarks about people who use iTunes or are thrilled with the idea of the Remote application for the iPhone, perhaps the community could recognize that we're not all audiophiles, and sometimes it's just nice to listen to music without pain and suffering! (And PS. Someone should write an iPhone application for SB that works just like the iTunes remote. That would be cool). -- tharrison tharrison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The 2 network strength tests are completely different. On the SS network test you need that line (near the bottom) that says >=100% to say 100.

Re: [slim] bye squeeze, hello ipod
A few people I know haven't been bowled over by my Squeezebox setup (albeit in the minority ;-), saying they can achieve the same thing on their iPods and docking stations. Trying to explain the differences is futile; multi-room, FLAC and sound quality mean little to your common-or-garden iPod owner (especially the latter *ahem*). But to be honest I think they're onto something. The current gen iPod Classics have 80Gb storage, plenty for a normal user's music collection (or at least the subset of their collection they actually listen to) and each generation's storage is likely to increase at the rate of a normal user's collection. There will always be people who find this setup inadequate, most of whom are on this forum, but if Logitech want to increase growth they're going to have to appeal to the iPod-owning market and find a USP that attracts them to the Squeezebox. -- simbo simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I just downloaded a couple of albums from Musicgiants. Although these albums are recognized and playable in both WinAmp and Windows Media Player, only one of the albums is seen in Slim Server 6.5.4. The other album's title can be seen only in the Music Folder showing "All Songs" but no songs are listed. If I select the play button, anything currently playing will be deleted from the playlist with nothing replacing it. The left screen of my Transporter shows the directory path to the album but with no songs. I even copied these songs to other directories but Slim Server still doesn't recognize them. The files have .WMA extensions. I'm using Windows XP Pro. If neither of the two albums I downloaded could play I would think something might be amiss with DRM or Musicgiants.

It's not an end all solution to home stereo. I have an 80gb classic but why would I want to use it when all my music is on my computer. Much handier and better decoding. I can use any program I want to change my music and use any format I want. People think they have problems with a SB wait until they have a problem with itunes. It can wipe your library pretty good.

Re: [slim] MusicIP & 7.1 automatic re-scans
So the MIP import isn't happening at all. Yet you can still generate mixes from *some* tracks... ? Odd! I'm afraid this is new to me. If it's a bug in 7.1 then it's one I've so far avoided (touch Formica). For a long, long time, I could only generate mixes from playlists; I'm still not sure what finally fixed it! But I'm fairly sure that recent additions are mixable (yes, just tried one now; well, first mix was Empty, so visited the MIP server web page which seems to kick-start it somehow). When I add new music, my "workflow" is: - rip and tag - run MIP GUI and let it find and analyse new tracks - once it's finished, visit the MIP server web page - this should tell me that the cache has changed on disc - click "reload cache" - now start a scan (usually for new/changed) in SC - go for a long walk or something :-) (MIP import *always* takes 30 minutes, no matter how little new stuff there is!) So far, that's always worked. BTW, I still have the Music folder checked in SC as well. Most instructions suggest leaving this unchecked, but it doesn't seem to do me any harm, and I hit other problems (no artwork!) when I tried unchecking it. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49738 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
Aztek, The exact same thing happened to my SB3 a week ago. Cold, no display but red LED on in the little square optical link on the back. So, after trying all the same things that people suggested for you I reluctantly unscrewed the back and measured the volts with my trusty meter - only 3.87, should be 5.00 indicating that the little switch mode PSU had semi failed. I plugged in a PSU from my second SB3 and all worked again. I'm now down to one SB3 until I build a new 5 volt power supply as buying a replacement unit in Australia is impossible. My advice then is to try and borrow a PSU from another SB3 to see if your SB3 is still OK - if you cannot borrow a PSU, then take it to your local Electronics shop and ask them to test the PSU - it should be able to supply 5 volts at 2 amps, they should also be able to rig up a 5 volt supply to test the SB3. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

I'm sorry to hear that it has taken some of you so many years to realize that you can remote control iTunes with your phone. There is a program called Salling Clicker. With it you can control iTunes, Windows Media Player and more. It works with OS X and with Windows. It works on just about any phone with a few exceptions. Many smartphones have wifi, otherwise you can use bluetooth. iTunes can stream to an Airport Express. Or... you can use Airfoil and stream from any application to your Airport Express (or to another computer). I can get bit perfect from any app on OS X but I have had trouble getting bit perfect on Windows except with iTunes. iTunes users don't really need FLAC since they have ALAC. Just about every ipod out there can handle ALAC. You can also convert FLAC to ALAC. IPOD classic has up to 160GB storage. It also has line out. It's a good way to have a backup of all your music. The quality of the DAC on the airport express isn't the best out there but all you audiophiles can use the optical out into your own DACs. Squeezebox allows you to stream music without interacting with the computer. It's a totally different concept than remote controlling your computer to playback audio onto a remote audio device. Both methods have their uses and purposes. -- Random Access Random Access's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18743 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 appears dead
In my case it was the external supply not giving enough volts or amps. See my earlier post for a replacement - I added the info in an edit while you were posting. Take your PSU to Jaycar and get the replacement. Ask them to set up the plug correctly, centre positive. Should cost you about $25NZ and have you going by lunch time ! -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

[slim] moodlab dac possible grounding problem
i just purchased some dnm reson interconnects to connect my moodlab dac to a burson buffer. when connected (even when bypassing the buffer), a humming noise can be heard from the speakers. using other interconnects -even an el cheapo variety- i do not have this problem. i have connected the dnm's from the buffer to the amp and there isn't any humming so i know that it is the dac-buffer/amp connection that is the problem. would it be a grounding issue or a cable shielding issue? any ideas on how to fix this problem? thanks in advance -D -- drewe181 http://www.last.fm/user/drewe181/ drewe181's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49803 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Recommend Tool for making Playlists for flac
I am looking for a good software tool to generate playlists to play through a SB3. I have about 1000 discs as flac files and another 200 or so MP3s. I find the SC web interface slow and non-intuitive. It is also unfortunate that there is no fast-forward function, as I have a hard time remembering songs from the title. iTunes is very easy tool with which to assemble playlists, and the fast forward function makes it very quick, but it does not recognize flac files. Does anyone have a suggestion of a tool that can be used to assemble playlists using flac files? Having a mechanism to listen to a clip of the song would be a key feature. -- kimballhouse Chan Duet > Cary SLP 50B Mod > Cary CAD 808 > QED Biwire > Ruark Prologue II kimballhouse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15215 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49804 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
