Re: [slim] Can I use a SB receiver as a wireless bridge?
Thank you all for your help. I am now happy that the SB does what I would like in terms on network connectivity. My only concern now is that of reliability in terms of streaming wirelessly. This seems to be one of the main issues that people have. I already have devices located near to where I would place SBRs, that connect perfectly well wirelessly to my network. However I am told that this is no garauntee that the SBRs will function reliably. I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that I'm not going to be wasting my money going down the SB route.

[slim] How to get Winamp to play FLAC stream from SqueezeCenter
My library is all FLAC files; my Squeezeboxes and SoftSqueeze connect just fine. I can connect Winamp to http://servername:9000/stream.mp3 just fine But how do I get Winamp to play the stream as FLAC? Winamp can play FLAC files in file-playing mode, but trying to play the stream off the SqueezeCenter as FLAC doesn't seem to work. I assume that playing the URL http://servername:9000/ in Winamp should just connect and play the FLAC stream, but Winamp does not connect using that URL (I also tried http://servername:9000/stream.flac and http://servername:9000/stream.fla same problem, would not connect) SqueezeCenter log says: there's nothing in the log for the Winamp connection attempt Wianmp says: [error syncing to stream] -- milosz milosz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62652 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iTunes and Squeezebox
Hi there, I use iTunes and SqueezeCentre fine together. It just depends what information you want to use from iTunes in SC and whether you want it one way or two-ways. If you have rated all of your tracks in iTunes (as I have) then you need to use the TrackStat/ Custom Scan/ Dynamic Playlists PlugIns from erland. If you wish to import certain tags or convert them custom scan can do this as well. Custom Scan also imports play counts. If you wish SC to update all this information then read it back into iTunes then Custom Scan can do this as well (using the iTunes Export function) but it's a manual process, you have to run a script (which I guess could be automated through a batch process). Anyway, it's all doable, you need to start by reading erlands wiki and downloading the plug-ins. If you have any questions then just ask.

JMG;417663 Wrote: Thanks to all for the replies! Maybe I should have mentionned that my collection is comprised of more than 3400 CD (50700 songs) converted in Apple Lossless. (In fact, I have more CD to rip, but my 1Tb disk is full and I wait (or try to wait) until big, cheap SS disks become available (hopefully in 2010).) Search is slow, but acceptable. What is really slow is scan, especially covers... SO the need for a faster computer. Generic (non-apple) seems the more cost-effective solution to me. I can have a microtower with 2.5 MHz Intel Core2 duo, ASUS motherboard, 2Gb memory, 320G HD, GeForce 7050 256mb, DVD burner, 5.1 HD surround sound (not that I need this), etc, etc., for about the price of a used Mac Mini G4... But friends tell me that I am bitterly going to regret taking the PC route, that Windows XP is a piece of that dont works half of the time, very difficult to set, etc. On the other hand, millions of people do real work on Windows, no? So it must work with a OK stability, isnt it? Of course, there is the Linux or dedicated music box (vortex) way. Just some thoughts... JMG Windows is not pure evil, it will just waste assets, have way more overhead, and if the server in on net be more open to viruses and attacks. For that many CDs, I would build my own for sure with vortexbox or Ubuntu for the OS. I think you are still thinking PC not server. No need to pay for things that don't get used much or really don't matter for the application. One needs a good CPU, 2 GB RAM, a good NIC or good built in LAN, and just a simple onboard video, enough big drives, and one of the free OS (Ubuntu, Vortexbox, or other Linux). If it's a true dedicated music server, one doesn't need fancy video, sound, or other add-ons. Other then ripping (if one does that on their server), one can even go headless. This is only my opinion and experience as I have a very large CD collection. I used a PC to start, then out grew two NAS boxes (ReadyNAS NV+ then Thecus N5200Pro), then built my own dedicated SC Server. All is now right with my music world, I could have saved time and lots of money just building the correct SC Server to start with. I use Ubuntu and my Mother, Sister, and Uncle are using old PCs that I put Vortexbox on. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, 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 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Expedition: SB3, ToughBook iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62627 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Favorite service?
I don't know if this qualifies as a service, but Shoutcast is the only one I listen to. It is the only one I have found where one can find streams of decent bitrate (256 and 320 kbps) I listen to their classical streams to discover new music. -- audio53 FLAC-SB3 w/SqueezeCenter v7.3-PS Audio DLIII DAC-Yamaha RX-595-Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble audio53's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5576 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62655 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Favorite service?
I use Pandora a lot as well as a few shoutcast streams.Rhapsody is also good when I'm looking for specific songs. When I just want to put it on autopilot though, I listen most to Pandora or Shoutcast. Between these three services, I almost never listen to my local collection. -- 86atc250r 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62655 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] LastFM Library
For what purpose would you want that? The last.fm library stores what you have scrobbled, via whatever device, or directly from the Last.FM radio... it has no relation to what type of file it is (MP3, WMA, FLAC), or it's location (your computer, iPod, Cloud).

Re: [slim] Favorite service?
Mostly I listen to my local music, but when it's not available I like Slacker the best. Seems to have more variety than Pandora and it's easier to tweak a station to where I never bump into the skip limit. Last.FM helps me discover a lot of music, but as far as the radio goes, I seem to do a lot more skipping on that one. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62655 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
