Re: [slim] How to you like to search for music in your library ?
I found this old thread.

[slim] Severe rebuffering; please help
I have just installed a brand new SB3 (FW 121) I have an internet gateway (both wired and wireless) and a remote AP (Aiport Express) I am testing just squeezenet as Internet Radio is my thing When attached to the gateway everything is fine, either wired or wireless, even if I move away from the gateway till I get a 30% signal When I move in front of the remote Airport Express (the intended location) I get severe rebuffering. It's like 5 seconds of music and 30 seconds of rebuffering. This even if the signal strenght shows at some 93% level. The Gateway is connected to the Aiport express via a Netgear XE102, an over the electrical wire adapter. As I have tried many configurations the problem seems to be either with the Airport Express or with the Netgear Xe 102. Anybody has had any experience with those ? Any suggestions ? I am stuck !

Think about it, if the loss of connection was not intentional then what would a user do? They would always press a remote key of course. So the error message should only be displayed after the connection is lost AND the user presses a remote key. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic - Cambridge Audio Azur 640a - Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver - Trends TA10.1 Class-T - Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze - Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller - Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3.1 (Vista 64) + AlienBBC, iPlayer MusicIP headless.

Re: [slim] Boom + Duet = Slacker problem?
jmourik;378187 Wrote: Got a question for you though, what would you say are the differences between Slacker, Pandora and last.fm? I don't listen to last.fm very much, but I don't believe it lets you define multiple stations; you enter artists to listen to, and it plays them and similar artists. Pandora does let you define multiple stations based on whatever artists you select, and plays those artists and similar songs on the selected station. Pandora uses musical characteristics (type of melody, beat, major instruments, etc.) to determine what is a similar song. Basically Pandora plays *songs* similar to what you indicate you like. Slacker is about the same thing as Pandora, except it plays *artists* that are similar to the ones you've specified to play on a particular station. This can be a disadvantage as one artist may have played several different genres/styles during their career, so you may hear songs that don't exactly fit the station you've defined. Both Pandora and Slacker let you approve (thumbs up or favorite) or disapprove (thumbs down or ban) a song. Pandora takes your thumbs up rating and tries to play songs with similar characteristics in the future, while Slacker will play *that song* more often in the future. A thumbs down in Pandora removes that song from the station's playlist for a month; a ban in Slacker removes that song from the station's playlist forever. I like Slacker more than Pandora because of its fine-tuning ability; you can really make a station your own by tweaking the Artist Discovery, Popularity (Song), Favorites, and Year sliders associated with each station. Plus you can buy a portable music player from Slacker and listen to your stations when offline. I bought the G2 and it's become the only thing I listen to in my car and at work -- again IMHO, it's an exponentially better value to buy a G2 and have access to millions of songs at no extra charge than to buy an Ipod and have to manage your own library at $0.99 per song. And with my Boom and new, now-functioning-perfectly Duet, I can listen to Slacker anywhere in my house. -- tdnuerf tdnuerf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22385 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57417 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have found if I go to http://albumart.org and search for them I can paste them into the album art box in the left pane of MM. However, if I try to do this on an album basis it doesn't work and doesn't add the album art info to the tag. I have to go through each song and THEN I have to go and set the album art as front cover or whatever IN EACH SONG before it works.

I'll check out Slacker a bit more though... -- jmourik jmourik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7123 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57417 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yep, the Squeezebox UI does Pandora's thumbs up/down.

Re: [slim] endless cycle of firmware updates
I bit the bullet and did the update... so for what it's worth I thought I might as well report the results in case it's useful for anyone else. On a QNAP TS-109 II, running SSOTS 3.0beta13 to enable SqueezeCenter, the upgrade to SC 7.3 was fairly painless, and AlienBBC is working nicely (after very limited testing) and actually now has a slightly more user friendly install method for the 7.3 version. In fact, I am glad I upgraded because it seems that AlienBBC can now rebuffer listen again streams (previously for me it would just restart the stream, meaning I was limited to the live streams only). Having said all that, I would still be very interested if someone could let me know the hack necessary so that I can now stop updating just because SqueezeNetwork updates their firmware!

Re: [slim] Boom + Duet = Slacker problem?
Looking into their music-selection algorithms, it appears that giving a Pandora song a thumbs down does remove it from the current station permanently. But, whoa! If you give another song by the same artist a thumbs down, the artist is banned from that station. Seems a bit severe to me.

[slim] Spectrum analyzer displays mostly high frequencies
Hi all, Newbie here with my first posting to the Forums. I've had an SB3 for a few years, and recently bought a Duet, and love them both. Revolutionary products in the consumer audio market, in my mind; I suspect nearly all of you will agree with me. Here's the problem: Back when I first got my SB3 (with 6.5 version), I put the full-screen Spectrum Analyzer on the display to test my visual/audio frequency correlation and was disappointed to find that the display didn't seem to jibe with my perception in that lots of treble was activating the display bars, but not much in the bass was showing up. (I am not an audio professional, but have extensive experience with running live sound reinforcement systems, and lots of practice tweaking tone controls, graphic equalizers, and parametric equalizers.) I searched through the Forums for postings on the subject and found the old stuff from Vidur (gone from the Forums since summer 2005), and not much since. It looks to me as if this display has been ignored since then and it needs to be revisited. Here's why- I downloaded some MP3 test tones and played them through the SB3 with the Spectrum Analyzer display (and simultaneously ran the SB3 output to a Real-Time Analyzer to verify the frequency). This test verified my suspicion- most of the 32 bars in the display are for midrange and up, with just the single far right (or left) bar activating for the bass frequencies. I've got some pictures, but you can perform this test for yourself with readily available test tones from a test CD or Internet. Send a 1 kHz (midrange) signal to the SB3, and 3 bars will show- .III (I used 32 . and I to show it graphically). That single . on the left is the bass and the 28 .'s to the right are the treble. This is seriously skewed, and I think someone may have coded it with 64 bins, but it is only displaying the top 32 (or some such simple coding error). What are your thoughts on the 32 bar Spectrum Analyzer display? Is it entertainment? Eye-candy? Useless? Possibly useful if it were showing the full audio spectrum in a properly proportioned and weighted manner? (That's my position). Thanks in advance for your kind and considerate replies.

I have an original squeezebox I haven't used in ages. I think I have the correct wallwart but as no voltage is marked on the unit itself I would like to know if the wallwart is correct.
