JJZolx;349375 Wrote: - Albums (both compilation and non-compilation) on which an artist appears are listed with the artist's full albums.

Another suggestion that's been made is that compilations be pushed down a level and a link to them given among the main albums. Hi All Wow, I really didn't want to hear that! I bought a SB Duet recently as after a long time looking for a decent way to get my MP3's onto my home stereo I found the SB / NetgearNAS solution. Over the years I have painstakingly tagged my music collection so that all my various artists have an artist field of well various artists I started this way back in the day. . having the rolling stone top 500 album appear under the artist U2 or whoever is lame the song is likely going to appear on one or more of the proper U2 albums anyway This is my first post here as I've otherwise been happy with the sb/sc... all I wanted to know was how to get the SB to stop second guessing how I wanted it to treat compilations/various artists if it just read and treated the tags like any non-compilation album i'd be happy.

Re: [slim] SB3 VFD Luminosity (beloved one can not sleep)
Unfortunately in the SB2 and SB3, 1 is as dark as it gets and it's no more fine-grained than that. Boom is much better - it can go much darker due to hardware differences. You may want to try Settings - Display - Standby Font set to High, then size set to small. To get a High font in the web UI, select the blank drop-down box, then use the drop-down arrow. That will eliminate everything but the clock on the top line and use 1-pixel-wide characters. This is literally the smallest number of pixels that can be lit to indicate the time. Turn off more pixels by setting the font to read hour and minutes only, no date. A 24-hour format would eliminate a few more characters but I can never get 24 h time. :-) Even after the above I found it was still bright enough to make a nightlight and cast shadows. Again, Boom is much better here - perhaps the developers heard my pitiful whining. ;-) -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55353 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Slimp3 screen blanking when scrolling, not sb1
I've recently noticed that when I'm playing from a playlist on my Slimp3 that the screen momentarily blanks each time I try to scroll through the list of songs to be played. With the now playing screen showing the current song progress, if I press the remote's down button, I'll get shown what is next, but within about 0.5 seconds the screen will go blank, for about 1 second, then re-appear. Press down again, same thing happens. If I repeat this very quickly the screen stays lit. I also have an SB1g and this does not go blank. I'm using 7.2.1 on XP Pro (after upgrading from 7.2, since for some reason I could not get the server to show me the 'DISPLAY' settings option for my Slimp3, though that server page worked fine for my SB1g (the log showed a problem accessing a method in display.pm). Upgrading solved that problem, but not the screen blanking of the Slimp3. Both units are wireless (Slimp3 through a bridge) and wireless strength is good (60%).

Re: [slim] How Many Duet Controllers?
I don't think there are any limits to the number of Controller remotes you can attach. The Controller doesn't do any sync at all. The Squeezeboxes do all the syncing. Yes, each Controller is independent, and each SB is independent. The only real limitation to the number of Controllers is you can only have about 30 devices per access point. Wifi APs tend to get cranky when you get past 25 devices. My suggestion is to have as many Controllers as you have people in the house who use the system.

Per another thread: snarlydwarf;303382 Wrote: SC merges ARTIST and ARTISTSORT as part of the scan process. A single file with ARTISTSORT will set the sort order for every occurence of that artist.

So you will have to look at every track with Elvis Costello as artist to see if it has the sort defined.

Re: [slim] Missing Album Art Root Causes
theres an itunes for linux? No, but if you care to and have an ipod made before the Classic you can probably run Rockbox. (www.rockbox.org) Plays flac, ogg, and all that and can be synced using your choice of Linux programs. Works great for me - one flac library, no messing about with playlists, converting, any of that and it sounds awesome. You can also boot back to the original Apple firmware whenever you want. -- tedfroop Good judgement is the result of experience ...

Re: [slim] Album Sorting - Confusion, Flaws, and an unclear path forward
This may be a bit OT, but from reading this thread it seems that most people are concerned with libraries of modern music where ALBUM, ARTIST and ALBUM_ARTIST are the parameters for sorting. Perhaps unlike you guys, I also have a significant classical library. And in such cases you might have ALBUM = Symphony No 5, ARTIST = Chicago Symphony Orchestra (or Lorin Maazel) and COMPOSER = Ludwig van Beethoven. In such cases I most certainly do NOT want to group/sort all my recordings by Chicago Symphony Orchestra; instead I want to group/sort all recordings by Ludwig van Beethoven.

MS No, this is much better than what we did before. OK, I was mistakenly thinking that this was being done with sox, but it's actually using lame to convert to mp3. However, that is way better than dropping every other sample, which causes massive aliasing - all the material above 22 KHz gets folded down into the audible band. Also, the CPU can't actually keep up with 96Khz flac decoding, so you would get audible dropouts too. I must sound like a broken record by now...

On a reboot it seems to do something different then happens on a track skip. Can either of you provide an insight as to how this offset gets introduced originally?

Re: [slim] SB3 VFD Luminosity (beloved one can not sleep)
Thank you very much mark for this hint. I knew I've seen something like this in the past, but looking quickly, I couldn't retrieve it. I'll try with this setting but I think it will be ok (I just fear I won't be able to read it in the middle of the night). I didn't understand your explanation about setting the hour and date separately. To me, the apparition of the date is only relative to the font type (i mean that with some font size the date is present, with other, it isn't). I could also try light narrow with a simple date dd.mm.yy format. The idea of photo filter has already been studied, but I prefer not having the clock than being forced to put some plastic sheet on the SB screen. I already had to put some blu-tack on the bright blue led indicating the input of the power amp :).

[slim] wireless bridge function sb classic
My SB classic works great via wireless about 80ft from my router.I just got a DirectTV HDDVR with internet capability which sits next to the SB so I wanted to use the SB as a wireless bridge rather than run a cable. I turned bridging on. I followed the directions for the Direct TV box. My tv showed that indeed the network was connected, but I couldn't get a internet connection on the DirectTV box. Later, I found that my internet was down and I had to do a cable modem and router reset. I haven't tried the setup again. Could this attempt at connecting another device through the SB bridge function have crashed my router? Is there something else I need to be careful of before trying this again? Thanks for any suggestions.

Another receiver, however, is still connected wirelessly. Question is, how I can I tell the attic receiver is connected via powerline and not wireless. My test signals shows a low connection. All I did was plug everything in and connect the receiver via Ethernet to the powerline adapter. You have to push the button on the receiver and re-configure it with the ethernet cable connected. You're still on wireless now I think.

Re: [slim] DIR-655 or Airport Extreme for Duet Controller?

When one disables support for 11 Mbps b devices on the router it shouldn't be an issue until you get a lot of SB's playing at the same time. One can always install a seperate (older?) router for SB on a different channel or, even better, go to the 5GHz band for the other users, using a dual-band/dual-radio router. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
