Re: [slim] Ceiling Speakers to Connect to Squeezebox Receiver
You are correct in understanding that you need either powered speakers or an amp between a SBR and passive speakers. If you search these forums you will see posts about very efficient digital amplifiers that are as small, or smaller, than a SBR. These would work well for your application and wouldn't have to be managed as you would set the volume of the amp when you install it, then control music volume with the SBC. There are a few forum posts that ask Slimdevices/Logitech to consider making a device that has an integrated amp that you can directly attach passive speakers to but there is no feedback to determine if this is being considered. Sonos and Cisco/Linksys offer devices that do this so market place realities may drive them to a decision. I know that I would be very interest in a SB3 (Classic) with an integrated, highly efficient, amp. -- Kiwi Kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62190 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Ceiling Speakers to Connect to Squeezebox Receiver
For my in-ceiling speakers I use a simple AudioSource AMP 100. It costs less than US$100 (check Amazon), is powerful enough to drive most in-ceiling speakers, and is good (but not audiophile) quality. It doesn't require any management. I just plug the SBR into the Input 2 inputs, turn it on, and set the volume to about the 1 o'clock position (you'll want to adjust depending on your speakers and desired volume level). The inputs are auto-sensing, so after 5-10 minutes with no signal from the SBR the amp goes into standby mode. In standby mode it still draws around 5w of power, and if that's more than you want to burn you can simply turn the amp off when you're done, and back on when you want to listen again. Alternatively you could get active (ie, powered) in-ceiling speakers instead of amplifier+passive speakers. One possible complication with that approach is ensuring that the line-level cable from the SBR to the speakers is as short as possible and routed in a way that it doesn't pick up a low frequency hum from nearby electrical wires. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62190 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Ceiling Speakers to Connect to Squeezebox Receiver
Thanks for the quick replys. I agree building an Amp into the receiver would make this a no brainer in my purchasing decision. I will check out the AudioSource AMP 100 in the interim.

[slim] Ceiling Speakers to Connect to Squeezebox Receiver
I would like to connect a set of in ceiling speakers or in wall speakers to a Squeezebox receiver and then use the Squeezebox Controller to control the music delivered through the speakers. However, I notice that the Squeezebox receiver requires connection to an AMP or powered speakers. Seems like I will need to buy and install an AMP and put it between the speakers and the Receiver. However, this becomes another device I need to manage and I would just like to use the one controller in this case the Squeezebox Controller.

How about turning off internal Flac decoding for the SB2+ units? Thats likely to be the issue for older hardware, it doesn't support Flac decoding natively.

Icarus;413076 Wrote: I use the SB3 through a Dacmagic DAC which inturn feeds the 44. I have tried removing the 44 connecting the Dacmagic directly to the 405-2. The sound does not change any amount. This would suggest to me that the 'old' opamps in the 44 do not affect the end sound. ie the 44 is transparent. If you can't hear a difference, you might as well have the 44 in the signal path to keep from having to resort to digital attenuation. That said, I don't think the 44 is exactly transparent. I did measurement runs before and after my mods, which also included beefier PSU caps. The change that had the biggest impact was bypassing the relay, it induced some noticeable ripple noise. The newer op-amps are a bit cleaner than the TL071/072, but there are design choices made with the 44 that can't be helped with mods. The biggest of these is the poor-ish channel separation especially at higher frequencies. The unit was designed in the vinyl era, and does exceed the separation you can get with any cartridge in high frequencies, but with digital sources it might be a different thing. Whether it is really audible is another matter, of course. My 405 has about the same modifications as yours.

Re: [slim] SB3 not turning on after extended time unplugged
The power supplies for the SB3s are known to have short lifespans (read:
a little dodgy). I wouldn't be surprised if it was something funky with
the PSU.
And just FYI; the optical light on the SB3 will still turn on even when
there isn't enough power running to the unit. So don't cancel out the
PSU as being a problem just because the little red light is on.
If it happens again, I would consider a new PSU.
The required specs for PSUs have been posted on the forums many times;
just do a search.

Re: [slim] SB1 syncing tips?
I use 7.3.2, and I have one of each of the newer units, Squeezebox3, duet, and boom, so I can't go back too much farther. I saw a SqueezeBox1 wired-only on craigslist (for $25 :) ) so I thought I'd add it to my office as the software clients can't sync reliably either. Unfortunately about half the time the SB1 starts playing just a little later and the newer units pause for it to catch up about 5 seconds into playing. For streaming and podcasts its not an issue, but in normal playback its very annoying. I tried playing with the Audio Startup time on the SB1, but I didn't seem to make a difference, and unfortunately the rest of the players started behaving unusual (not syncing and starting late) so I undid all the changes. 7.3.x has been bulletproof with syncing between the SB2+ style hardware for me. My understanding was the syncing problems were due to the peculiarities in the SqueezePlay code the inability of the other software clients to poll the hardware on PCs to the same extent they can on hardware clients. The hardware polling isn't an issue, obviously since it does sync up unlike the software clients, but I'm trying to figure out why the SB1 is starting late and is there anything I can do to fix it. -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62152 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Smart Replay Gain where only one adjustment tag
I agree entirely with the sentiments of Teus and Gary above. When I sit down to listen to a whole album/symphony etc I want the quiet songs/movements to be quiet and the loud songs/movements to be loud (at least relatively - I of course use my amplifier's volume control to set the overall level depending on whether I want to wake up the neighbours or not!) This is why at the moment I have to manually switch off SC's Smart Gain when I want to listen to an album/symphony etc. This is of course equivalent to having Album gain set to zero. My suggested change was simply for Smart Gain to do this for me automatically. I can live with using a different volume on my amp for 'loud' albums and 'quiet' albums - so don't really need a separate Album gain setting (although if there was an easy way for me to tag my music with one then I probably would). However, I also frequently just set a Random mix going - and for that I need the Track gain. Happy to vote for Replay Gain settings to take preference over Apple Sound Check settings if they are present. I would just like the default Album Gain setting to be zero if no explicit tag exists rather than set to equal the Track Gain setting.

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Probably I should be more specific. I don't use IRBlaster myself, so I have little experience with this, but from what I can see, can't you only use volume and power with IRBlaster? Or can you configure other commands as well? And another issue: If you use that approach, the states sent by IRBlaster have to match the player's states (volume and on/off) so you can't really control something else without manipulating the player as well. Anything else will require either a new hardware - and here I don't see a big difference to Airremote et al - OR you need a plugin that offers a separate control layer from the physical player's. The latter is what I proposed. iPeng itself can only communicate to the server, after all the iPod/iPhone doesn't have IR and you can't talk to the player directly, so a suitable plugin to communicate to is needed. And when that is done, we can clearly talk UI. I disagree that you can have a generic approach for all UI tasks, after all, you will see that most stuff providing good UIs will have a good portion of this stuff custom coded for specific use cases, look at Airremote or IRedtoch and you see what I mean. So the way to go is to define what we want to do and then we can see how it can be implemented in a generic way so that different plugins that support the use case can support this, but supporting something through a generic UI without looking at the use case will only result in yet another menu. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I don't use IRBlaster either but looking at the plugin code I only see it dealing with the power changes of the squeezebox and volume changes. Note that it can only use SB2/3 because it depends on the earphone jack to be there so it can send signals to that output, which will be converted to IR signals by another device. Because its IR it has no understanding of the state of the devices it controls so it pretty much has to start with a clean slate and begin at a power off state. Most of the code is dealing with the differences of IR codes for devices and converting SC API's etc into IR codes. In my own plugin I was able to bypass much of this because I am dealing only with one companies devices (networked Denon AVP/AVR's). Since I am using the network protocol and not IR I can not only detect the state of the device, but I can have the device tell the SB what to do (for example if you change the volume on the AMP I tell the SB display to change accordingly). You cannot do that with IR because its one way only. I noticed that the two apps mentioned above where still in beta or test (more than a year). They are trying to be like a Harmony but using the iTouch interface. Both of them need some sort of networked box to convert network commands into IR commands. Because they are trying to be universal its very hard to do. This gets back to the basic question. If you really want to make everything simple (and this is my favorite thing about iPeng as Pippin knows) you want to only have it present you with what you need to play your music. To me thats finding the right music, setting up the correct player, turning on the appropriate amplifier (non Boom devices) and making adjustments to those components as I need (ie volumn/pausing). And lastly shutting everything down when I am done. With iPeng today and using either my plugin (special case) or IRBlaster (more general case) I think this is achievable. iPeng does what it does best, and these plugins deal with all the infrastructure underneath. Plus both solutions work with and without iPeng in case you pick up another remote. Asking iPeng to be a universal remote is going to make it ugly in my opinion and I hope if Pippin goes that route he will always make an iPeng lite as well as a full featured one for those that want it to do more. So are there other things that iPeng could do to make the use of SC more enjoyable? Sure. We all wait anxiously for those features.

Re: [slim] Smart Replay Gain where only one adjustment tag
I prefer album gain in all cases. To get this with my IPOD, I use mp3tag and an action to convert soundcheck values to replaygain album gain values (search mp3tag forum for soundcheck and replaygain). So in the end, I have replaygain album and track values AND a soundcheck value that is equal to the album gain. This said, I strongly support the SB using replaygain values instead of soundcheck values when both exist. The smartgain option is really nice if it would work properly in the presence of replaygain and soundcheck. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62137 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox 3 volume control
It's not a good idea. The SB3 has a digital volume control, which will degrade sound quality when large amounts of attenuation are used. Additionally, the input on the Quad 405 is very very sensitive, so you would have to use very large amounts of attenuation. Just stick with the good old 44, it's not bad - especially if you're handy enough to do some mods. On mine, the relay is cut out of the signal path and all opamps have been replaced with Burr-Brown OPA601s. .sc -- SenorCitizen SenorCitizen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62163 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

While some may disagree, I think the Squeeze Controller and Logitech Harmony handheld remotes are not in the same league as the iPod touch, either in form factor or usability. Harmony in the UK is twice the price of an iPod touch, and is not without its issues - and many potential buyers already own an iPod touch. Whether Apple realised it at the time or not, they have produced a multi purpose handheld controller that happens also to be an iPod. This could ultimately be a game changer for Logitech and similar for the handheld remote site of their business.

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Chris, just to relief you, I don't see iPeng as being as a universal do-anything remote, yet I do want to finally be able to control all music related commands with it, that's why I will add things like a power button for a server and a way to switch to the digital inputs on Transporter from the player interface. The trick is to bury these features in a way they don't clutter up anything in the plain interface while still being somewhat simple to reach. The way is to have items easily or less easily accessible based on the frequency of use. I also have been asking for a use-case description because I somewhat lack an understanding on what a more general approach is good for. I definitely do NOT understand what Airremote et al are good for if they use IR as a channel, and this is also why I am always pretty critical about Multimedia. My experience is that different Media have very different requirements and that mixing those into one system will simply give you a bad system. I'm having a bad time with this approach here in Germany because right now everybody is so obsessed with convergence and video. I'll give you an example: I believe an iPod touch is a VERY good remote for playing music (obviously) because you can access your database, you can manipulate players and playlists and generally you are flexible to show a lot of information and have a flexible use case. Plus - and that's the most important point for me - you can carry it around because I tend to listen to music everywhere: Kitchen, bathroom, sofa, bed... It has one drawback, and that is lack of immediate access because you have to disable the screen saver first. For TV or video, IMHO, the situation is very different. I don't carry my TV around a lot and it does have a big screen to give me all the visual feedback I want. So for a TV, I believe an infrared device is the better solution. I also don't have the problem that it ends up being in another room, since I only use it in a line-of-sight area from the TV screen. So as much as I (would) hate having 25 remotes around, I believe merging these two use cases will result in unnecessary compromises on at least one side and that while even adding additional cost - given the price of simple IR remotes.

Re: [slim] Smart Replay Gain where only one adjustment tag
I'm fervently opposed against only using one value. This always boils down to a form of track gain. And when you only use track gain, you help the loudness war by making the volume of each track about the same. This is one of the reasons I don't use play lists a lot: the volume leveling would result in a ballad being played too loud and a track that shouts 'play me loud' not loud enough. It's like listening to the radio, where the same leveling is applied (albeit in a different way). And imagine the effect of playing Mahler's 5th symphony with track gain: what a disaster that would be! The whole idea of using RG is to automatically adjust for the difference in loudness used in recordings over the last decades (albums of the eighties have none or moderate negative album gain; recent albums generally have album gain in the -7 to -12 dB range). IMO, anyone who cares about the quality of music should only use it for this purpose and therefore use album gain (with the exception of parties with appropriate play lists). It's a testimony to how much Apple cares about the quality of music that they only use one value. (Sorry if this post sounds a bit aggressive, but I feel very strongly about this.)

Where can I set the location or even choose the location. The 'breadcrumb' navigation at the top says 'Home - Glasgow' but I can't find a way to navigate to another location. Any help greatly appreciated. -- namxnam namxnam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25952 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62199 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Running SC on $100 Linux Wall Wart
Hi guys, I got my development version of the SheevaPlug today. After some preliminary tests, it looks like it will be a great SC server, capable of full transcoding and SC runs great on it! -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60617 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Your location is guessed according to your Internet IP. You can set it manually by creating a RadioTime account, setting your location there, and then entering your RadioTime account details into SqueezeCenter. -- BastiaanR BastiaanR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22178 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62199 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Verizon FIOS remote to control squeezebox
I have a SB3. I am trying to get my Verizon FIOS TV controller to control the SB. I programmed the remote to a JVC DVD code and it works fine when I use the power key and the arrows. However, the number keys map to the set top box and not to the SB - so I can't use the number (alpha keys) to skip through the artist lists. Given that I have around 900 artists, this is an issue. Has anyone else had this problem or better yet, found a solution for it? -- kevin0964 kevin0964's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29420 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62202 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Or, for this case, you could turn it off now and turn it back on when it happens. That may mean that we don't see the trigger to the problem. In any case, a snippet of the current log would be good to see now. Thanks for taking the time to look at this! Those settings generate an awful lot of information in a short time, so I can generate more, but I'm going to run into the limit of what I can upload here. In this section, right after I unpause and skip the next song my receiver (00:04:20:16:70:70) starts playing and the Squeezebox1 (00:04:20:05:81:a2) lags and catches up about 4 seconds into the song. I'm pretty sure I captured it, but I can send more examples in email as its fairly easy to reproduce if I keep skipping to the next song. Let me know what's helpful to you and I'll give you as much information as I can.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio
Yes I think either would work. I just find it funny that you can't have your radio stations under Internet Radio Stations. Thanks for the responses. I'll probably try both and see what I like. I don't use them much but I should take advantage of radio stations that I stumble upon. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62179 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Squeezebox randomly restarts tracks / moves to next track
Hi, I've been experiencing a problem with my Squeezebox recently where half way through playing a track it will reset to either the beginning of that track, or the start of the next one. I've tried looking at the log files but I can't see anything interesting in them. I've also installed Lame (I also upgraded to the pre-release SqueezeCenter 7.4.0 last night) and lowered the bit rate to the lowest level but still get the same issue. The Squeezebox plays Internet radio over Squeeze Network without problems (no buffering on most stations). The Wireless strength is around 80% I'm running on a Macbook Intel 2Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of ram. The music is on the local hard disk. Do you have any ideas what might be causing this to happen?

Re: [slim] Buried Treasure
If you're looking for a bit better connection to the neighbor's, try a USB network adapter that has an external (probably dipole) antenna. They start at around $20 here in the states. If that doesn't improve things enough, you can build a parabolic antenna out of cardboard and tinfoil. http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template/ -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62139 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Marketing
I am fairly new to the Squeezebox world. Located in Canada.Nobody here knows anything about them. We have dinner parties and I hand out the remote. They all can't believe it. I am getting tired of explaining how it works. What is Logitech doing? This is an excellent opportunity to penetrate the market in two directions. Sales and content. The sky is the limit. Who is marketing in Canada? I would love a opportunity to market Squeezebox here in Vancouver. Get moving Logitech before sombody else does!
