[slim] Slot a new track(s) in the middle of a currently playing playlist
I'm in the process of deciding between the sonos OR squeezecenter solution for my home, I wonder if you might be able to answer a question on creating playlists. I currently use foobar on a Win XP PC to play my music. One of the great things about it is you can browse your (large) music collection very quickly and easily knock up a playlist of 4 or 5 albums. So lets assume you've created an on the fly playlist but after listening for a while you really want to slot in another track or two from your library. You want this new track(s) to play right after the currently playing track whilst keeping the rest of the now playing playlist in order. In foobar (and most other software media players) you simply drag the song from your library and drop it just below the currently playing song and voila your done. I've installed the sqeezecenter on my pc and tried creating playlists in both the web interface and using the softsqueeze player. Both seem to be restricted to only adding tracks to the end of the current playlist.

On a real SB, you can add a track to play immediately after the currently playing track by browsing to the track, then pressing and *holding* the + button for about 2-3 seconds. This works on all IR remotes and the SB Duet Controller. Note that you have to be browsing in your library -- not the current playlist -- for this to work. I don't know if it will work with SoftSqueeze because I imagine it's tricky to emulate the press-and-hold action with a software SB.

It's the technology that makes the Metcal expensive. It is not just the use of heat. Metcal uses RF as well as heat to solder. One gets much better flow and higher joint strength at lower temperatures. Also the handle is cool with only the actual tip being hot and itÂ’s so much lighter and easier for doing precise soldering with the Metcal. Metcal saves time and power because they don't have to be left on. They are up to soldering temperature in less then 10 seconds. Changing tips (temperature or type) is as simple as turning the Metcal off, using the silicone pad to pull the tip out and pushing the tip you want in. No cool down or need for tools so you don't burn yourself or waiting for it to heat back up to temp. Like I said, one has to use one, then it's hard to go back to a Weller. Besides, a Weller worth having for the type work a Metcal is great for is over half the cost of a Metcal. IMHO, might as well pay the rest and have the best.

Re: [slim] BBC WMA Radio streams cause my SB3 to reboot
I'm using VirginMedia cable. They don't do bandwidth shaping per se - their approach is Subscriber Traffic Monitoring, which is much more a blunt instrument. They basically cut your bandwidth if you exceed certain download/upload limits (which I rarely do). Perhaps Virgin are doing something though.. -- chris.mason chris.mason's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60988 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What happens if Logitech go tits up ?
Before you whip yourself and others into a frenzy, check out the information that shows that this proposition is nonsense. At least, for now. Logitech is a public company and its results are released quarterly. For the 9 months ending December 2008, income after tax was $142 million. Sales and income were down for the quarter compared to the year before, but that's true of most companies. Shareholders equity exceeds $1 billion. Sure, it's possible for any company to have future writeoffs, restructurings, downturns in the business, etc to erode equity. I'd guess that many other companies would love to be in the relatively strong financial position that Logitech has right now. Also in this context, it is likely fair to assume that the Streaming Media unit is a very small part of the total entity. Probably even immaterial from an operating results perspective. -- Goodsounds Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61517 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Music Catalogue in PDF - Requirements?
epoch1970;407423 Wrote: I like it a lot. May I up the ante and suggest a header or footer with page number and an index ? Extra, the header could include, for example, the value relevant to the sorting method for the 1st album on the current page, or for the 1st and last of the page. Then browsing is easier since it is relatively easy to spot in which direction you should turn the pages when looking for something. Something like this for alpha sort by artist Gnaris Barkley - St. Elsewhere or Gnaris Barkley to Goldfrapp and for sort by date: 1995 - Garbage by Garbage or 1995 - Garbage to 1998 - Gary Moore Just my 2cts. I don't know how you've managed to generate the PDF, but I know indexes, pages counts and dynamic headers are not the most trivial parts to get right. (I hope it's portable, too -linux, mac) UPDATE. Ah yes, php. Does core php generate PDF? Or you're using another lib ? (make it perl and that will be a tremendous plugin! And Logi could sell a print service) I want to express my opinion on the interest of the booklet. I think it can bring tremendous gain in usability for some users. Browsing a paper catalog is so SIMPLE. And, it can be beautiful and inspiring -you've already got this covered, it see, and FAST (with proper cues). I have offered a slim system to my parents. They like the SB3 because they can listen to any CD from the remote, and because it is reliable. They are used to books, and much less to computer which are too complicated. I am sure they would be delighted using a paper catalog to make their listening choices. Thanks for the ideas. I've also considered page numbers and an index/toc. Generally I would like to keep the layout as minimalistic as possible - with the aim of getting the maximum amount of albums on each page. But header and footer could to some degree be user configurable and then it's up to each individual. Somebody suggested creating sections meaning that artists starting with A and artists starting with B (and so on) are separated by a page break. This is nice since additions to the squeezecenter database will not imply a print of the entire catalogue again - just the corresponding section. The page numbering conflicts with this idea unless the numbering scheme is something like A - 1, A - 2, A - 3, B - 1, B - 2,... - any other ideas how to avoid this conflict? The program is a php-script and thus depends on at least a mysqli-extension as well as a pdf-library (TCPDF) - this is NOT an elegant solution but it's what I know - Unfortunately I don't know any PERL and furthermore I don't think PERL will play ball with the pdf library!
