By your use of language, it isn't clear to me that you understand what a "front" is. The RIAA is the recording industry lobbying organization. Every industry has one, there's nothing special about them relative to the hundreds of others. Most large companies conduct their own lobbying efforts in addition to participating in industry group projects. I suspect you and I are on the same side of this issue, the approach for internet music royalties makes no sense. But the biggest dog barks the loudest, and RIAA has won this one so far. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51180 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

OK, my bad, I should looked before posting. The InguzDSP plugin is compatible with SC7, It doesn't say if it has been updated for 7.1 yet though.

Most startups not only experience one or more significant market or "paradigm" shifts along the way to adulthood, but in fact the better ones cause them. That's what management is for, to successfully direct and alter strategy to deal with changes in the world. Paying for something that you then give away for free is not a business model. I don't care what you pay for it, advertising will not support the giveaway. I have no specific insights, but I would bet most internet music sites these days are walking wounded, or worse.

Re: [slim] MusicIP causes to become Miscellaneous
Hi All, Not to be alarmist, but... I believe I may have an issue of genpuid actually deleting tags when analyzing my library. I apologize if this is somewhat off-topic, however, it does match the subject line of the thread, as the symptom I see is that a number of my albums that were correctly tagged previously now have blank tags in the album, genre and artist tags. When viewed in SqueezeCenter, these blank tags are showing up as 'Miscellaneous' in the respective tag. I believe this was caused by genpuid, based on how I've analyzed my library, following the wiki instructions here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Integrating_MusicIP_with_SqueezeCenter#Option_1:_Using_Genpuid In particular, I used the 'archive' feature of genpuid to create ANALYSIS and FINGERPRINT tags. Code: genpuid [dnskey] -r -logex -m3lib=cache.m3lib -archive . My guess is that along with writing these two tags specific to MusicIP, genpuid altered some other additional tags (ALBUM, GENRE, and possibly ARTIST as well). On some tracks only one of the tags was cleared - most often the ALBUM tag, but sometimes both ARTIST and GENRE or ALBUM and ARTIST - there doesn't appear to be any pattern. My library is approx 20K FLAC with vorbis comments only. Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this? I've replied to an existing thread on the MusicIP forums to check with the folks there.

Re: [slim] 7.1/7.2 fails to remember previous menu position from Now Playing screen?
I do frequently change my mind on what I want to play, and thus navigate to play other stuff. However, I just as frequently want to use the now playing screen, eg. to see more detailed information on the currently playing track. In fact, as soon as I start playing something, I tend to navigate myself to the Now Playing screen, rather than wait for the screensaver to jump me to it. Also, I use TrackStat plugin to rate the current song I am listening to, by press-and-hold 1-5 keys. If the "jump back on wake" screensaver was used, press-and-hold 5 whilst looking at the now-playing screen would instead jump back to the browse menu and initially jumps to items beginning with J (when 5 is pressed), and then start to play my favorite stored in position 5 (when 5.hold is detected). That wipes out what I was previously playing. I've done this a few times recently, due to changes in the alarm functionality in SC 7.2, and found it infuriating that there was no clue on the screen as to what the next keypress was going to do. So I found myself pressing right-arrow, followed by left-arrow to refresh the screen, removing the screensaver to return me to where I was (which may have been the Now Playing screensaver when I had manually navigated to that screen). Only sometimes a menu may not have a right-arrow menu action, so that would be ignored and and left-arrow would go back a level. People have different requirements, which is why there's always been an option. The text for the options has changed; the options are now more sensibly named Now Playing or Jump To Now Playing. I think you are saying that Now Playing is also doing a Jump To Now Playing? Phil ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Runaway Volume
I sent the following message to Logitech Support, but I really want to konw if anyone has experienced this problem: When pressing the volume up button on the SBC and then releasing the button, the volume continued to increase out of control. Then in a panic to turn it down, the same problem occured as the volume continued to decrease after releasing the button until all the way down. This problem happened twice now in two completely different situations. The first time it happened when using the SBC with the SBR on one audio system. I thought it was a fluke. But, a few days later it happened again on a different audio system with the SBC controlling a SB3. It is not simply a "delayed" response of the volume when holding down the volume button (as I have experienced many times), but a quick press and release of the volume button (to attempt to turn up volume just a notch) with the quite shocking and loud result of "runaway volume".

[slim] SqueezeCenter Performance Suddenly Got Worse
I have run SqueezeCenter for more than two years, and the system was running extremely well. Then at some point a couple of months ago, the update performance of SqueezeCenter on my client became dramatically worse. I am running the Fishbone skin, although I see the same problem with Default. When I enter or delete tracks from the playlist, the update may take more than a minute, and the playlist will be blank for most of the time. Either or both of "CONNECTING..." and "LOADING..." will be displayed at the top of the Playlist pane. The upper data in the Playlist pane is usually delayed by a few minutes, and the Artist displayed is often several tracks behind. Switching pages in the Album or Artist pane can also take 15-60 seconds. I am running SC on an HP MediaSmart server, which runs Windows Home Server. My main client is a Dell Latitude D610, and everything including the SqueezeBox is connected over a 100MB wired Ethernet network. I have seen the same performance problems from another identical Dell machine, and also running the browser directly on the Server using Remote Desktop. I have had some problems with ports dying on my Ethernet switch, so I replaced it with a new one to no effect. For a few days quite a while ago I noticed that there would occasionally be a 10-20 second delay at the start of a track, which I assume was the buffer of the SB filling, but that went away before I changed anything else. I generally run IE7 on the Client machine and on the Server, but I have also tried Safari on the Client, which is a little faster but still much worse than IE7 used to be. All of this (particularly the poor performance running the browser on the Server itself) leads me to believe that the problem is in the SC software and not the network. I was running SC 7.0 when this started. I have since tried 7.1 and am currently running a Beta of 7.2 - 22343, but none of the software changes have made any difference. Each time I performed a complete removal of the oldversion before installing. When I decided to debug this problem, I looked at the log file. I noticed that I get the following sequence of Error messages every few seconds to every few minutes (the spacing is much greater when music isn't streaming, but the errors still occur every hour or so). There are a large number of "frame" lines with more data after the second of these three error messages, which I believe is the "backtrace". This varies in length, from 17 to 46 lines.

This can also be done from the WHS Console, in Settings -> Add-Ins, where there is an Uninstall button.

[slim] Issue with Album Artwork & Podcast Images in SC 7.1
I have one of the early Duets. I loaded SqueezeCenter 7.1 over the weekend and have noticed the Controller no longer consistently displays album artwork. (BTW, I have the album jpeg image located in the same folder as the albums flac files). Also related to this, I find the Controller wont display Podcast images consistently. As a visual person, Id actually appreciate having this capability even for podcasts. If I power-cycle the controller images load somewhat reliably but over time, they only appear intermittently. Ive confirmed the images are loading in SqueezeCenter, so theres something stopping them from 'being sent' to the controller.

SqueezeTray seems very big on my system at 15,216K and Mysqld is at 17,972K. Another memory issue to consider is how much memory your IE is using if you have the WebUI open. Including IE if the WebUI is open would give you the total memory footprint of having Music playing. Squeeze on your system is just over double the amount of memory use as on mine. So with all the active pluggins you have listed, one would assume that the plugins are where the differences are. I think MC is on the right track by suggesting that you disable a good number of plugins and see how much that affects the memory usage total. I need to figure out why SqueezeTray is using more memory on my system when I never use the thing anyway. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51212 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Music Library and SC memory usage
It is noticeable how the web interface speeds up if you only use a subset of your library (as I sometimes do for testing). I imagine the RAM footprint might be affected by the size of a library but have not personally noticed any change as the size of my library has increased. If you want to know for use if the RAM usage is affected by library size why not make a subset of yours and see if usage changes? The plugins are definitely known make a difference to memory usage (hence my suggestion), but I've not heard of any documentation detailing the individual RAM usage of plugins (and would be dead surprised if any existed).

[slim] Squeezebox v3 /QNAP / Airport express
I have been running my Squeezebox v3 for almost two years now and I'm very happy with it. My current setup in my house is a computer running slim server connected wirelessly to an Apple Airport Extreme. This computer is placed in the home cinema which means that in this room the sound card from the computer is the audio source. The Airport act as a router in my home and is connected to the internet. I have my squeezebox in my living room connected wirelessly and even though I send the information twice ove a wireless link it works really well. This Squeezbox is connected to the main stereo and will offer sound in most of the house but I have been playing around with the idea to add squeeze boxes to more rooms. I have now ordered a QNAP 107 that will act as a NAS and will be running Slimserver so I don't need to have the computer running 24/7, this will be direct connected with a ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme. I will put in a 750G harddrive full of music in FLAC/MP3. I have also bought an extra SB v3 that I will have in my either my office or master bedroom. This stereo also have a connection to the batroom so I can access all my music when I'm taking a bath. I will also have this one connected to my headphone amplifier so I can listen to music in the bed. I have also got hold of an Airport Express that has an audio out to be used with Itunes. My idea is to include this in the setup and use it as a dumb client in the gym stereo. This will let me at least listen to music but with the backdraw that I can't change the music in that location. I have also thought about buying the Squeezebox duet which will let me use the system remote to change music wherever I am. Hmm, that about my setup, my question is, do you know if it's possible to stream music from the QNAP on to the Airport Express? I know that there should be a workaraund from I-tunes if you run it on the same machine as the Slimserver? I think the setup with the QNAP sounds really tempting since this will bea quiet and small 24/7 soultion so that I always can listen to music without booting a computer. It should be great if I also can include the Airport into this, do you have an idea or suggestion of a smarter set up for me?

The Now Playing functionality was not too much of a problem for him either... mainly because he didn't spend much time using the UI! I find I am making use of the new services (like Last.fm) and radio (Alien BBC and Shoutcast) now, and listening to my local music collection less and less. The current Now Playing (dis-)functionality has become much more apparent when using these modern services. And only one reason is because I end up using the UI much more frequently. To me, it looks to me that Logitech are focussing more and more on integrating these (new?) services into SlimCenter and also that their usage is increasing pretty quickly. This should increase the urgency of sorting out the Now Playing area.

The whole idea of bridging is that two networks are joined into one. Remote desktop or VNC should just work. Perhaps you configured something wrong in XP.
