Re: [slim] connecting a slimp3 to a non-local squeeze center

2009-05-25 Thread Michael Herger
 The slimp3 setup lets me specify the IP address but not a port number.

You don't need to define the port number, but you have to open them up on  
your office's firewall/router (9000  3438)

Re: [slim] squeezecenter 7.3.3 gentoo

2009-05-25 Thread Stuart Hickinbottom
I'm sure you know but 7.3.3 isn't yet released, which is why there's no
ebuild for it in the official Gentoo Portage tree. I'll take a look at
updating the ebuild it for a current nightly - I need to do that anyway
so that I can get it out quickly when 7.3.3 finally does come out.

If you've not found it yet, this is where I publish betas when I've got
them together:
http://github.com/hickinbottoms/squeezecenter-ebuild-for-gentoo/tree/master

Keep an eye on that and I hope I'll get something up there in a few
days.

Interesting! I'll be interested to see the battery life on the portable 
player. Could be interesting.

This one's nice too:

A very appealing device that looks like a touch-screen, stand-up 
version of the Sonos controller, with jacks in the back to connect to 
your powered speakers or stereo, and a headphone jack. It's as if the 
Sonos controller was mashed up with the iPod touch controller and the 
ZP90. This will be $299.

I actually 'suggested' that product not too long ago. I'll probably be 
getting one if they look nice. A big(ger) display with album display and 
a touch screen interface would be perfect for the living room. I'll 
mostly be using the controller, but this is really nice to have as a 
focus point. I do REALLY hope the headphone jack supports IR and 
PowerSwitch...

Peter

Quite an attitude in the first reply to that thread.

It's a cheaper product that usually appeals to those who can't afford
Sonos.

Wow... never though of myself as an el cheapo customer. :|

Also, multiroom functionality is now perfect on a wired connection
(can't speak about wireless as I would never trust flawless music
playback to Wi-Fi, which is prone to interference, no matter what Sonos
might be stating...).

Edit: I don't have direct experience with Sonos products, just to be

[slim] controlling several wired Receivers with one Controller and no wifi AP?

2009-05-25 Thread AndreE

I’ve been asking many questions related to the subject, receiving many
replies I was a bit lost in few topics
This is the one of those:
I have wired land and not WiFi at home at all.
And I am planning to have at least two, potentially maybe three or four
SqueezBox Duo receivers connected to the LAN via cable.
One of the receivers is going to be purchased as a bundle  SqueezBox
Duo with the Remote controller.
My question: would it work fine in this case with all receivers
installed in different corners of my place ?
Would I have a problem due to missing WiFi?

Re: [slim] controlling several wired Receivers with one Controller and no wifi AP?

2009-05-25 Thread aubuti

I can only give you a partial answer on this. The Duet is capable of
working without a wifi network. When you set up the SB Controller (SBC)
and the first SB Receiver (SBR), do it so that the SBC connects to your
network via the SBR. You can then go about setting up the other SBRs.
Once set up, you can control the various SBRs from a single SBC by using
the Choose Player menu option.

What I do NOT know for certain is whether the SBC can connect to the
network via different SBRs. I don't think it can, but I'm not sure. If I
am correct, then you should be sure that the SBR you choose to serve as
a bridge from the SBC to your network is centrally located, so that the
signals between it and your SBC are sufficiently strong wherever you are
using the SBC.

Hope this helps.

Re: [slim] Stop The Monster cable Bullying

2009-05-25 Thread AndreE

It is really sad story and creasy way of doing business
No ethic and no excuse

Just think. The copyright allows having any word or word combination
patented/protected by copyrights.

And human vocabulary is relatively small, not more than some thousand
words.

The amount of reasonable combinations is bigger, but not much. The
amount of positive words or combinations is much smaller. And if any
creasy company will make a claim for any basic word – this would be just
a problem, because there is just one step to the point where we would
need to be just silent. 

Anything what we say would be violating one or another patent/copyright
claim...

And may be at that point of time it would become clear that this low is
a bit too wrong, especially how it is applied in some countries (sorry,
guys, nothing personal)

You might be missing the fact that while the SBC can connect to your
network via an SBR, the commands for controlling your audio are *not*
directly communicated between the SBC and SBR. When you make a selection
on the SBC it uses the ad hoc connection to the SBR to send the commands
to SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork, which then sends the command to the
appropriate SBR. So even if the SBC is only *connected* to one SBR, it
can *control* as many SBRs as you have.

[slim] Replay gain for FLAC files???

I know that Squeezecenter recognizes replaygain but I have my music
library encoded in mp3 and flac format. I've used MP3Gain on the mp3
files and it works fine but is there a way to apply replay gain to Flac

Yes you can. The players will connect to SqueezeNetwork. This is
basically a large squeezecenter hosted by Logitech for internet radio.

You can also use services like Fast.FM, Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.

Re: [slim] Updated Squeezebox products?

2009-05-25 Thread MikeekiM

It's more than just a boom...  I was talking to someone a few months ago
from Logitech, and told them that while I loved the Boom, it was still
just a little too big for me to consider it an bedside alarm clock...

What I was looking for was something much smaller (like the old Sony
Dream Machine clocks)...  I told them that I really didn't care if it
was stereo or mono...just that it be made for a bedroom side table...

When I finished (and again, this was a couple of months ago), the
person told me just wait...we are coming out with something that is
just what you are looking for...

I doubt they will come out with a mono cube sized unit...  It'll
probably be more like a rectangle shaped product so that they can fit
two small stereo speakers in it...  I just don't see them going mono...

As for RO53BEN on the Sonus Forum and I believe known as Jafacake on
this Forum, he rants about Sonos and bashes (most of the time
incorrectly) Squeezebox. Appologees to Jafacake if he is indeed not
RO53BEN.

At the end of his Squeezebox Bashing, he trys to justify his incorrect
points by comparing Squeezebox to iPods set up in separate runs. First a
Squeezebox has full higher fidelity stereo output then the Sonos from
either analog or digital outs and can be Sync'd and/or controlled from
anywhere in ones home. He needs to learn or research a product before he
states what it can or can't do. The Squeezebox can do so much more then
the Sonos anyday of the week and there is only one thing Sonos can do
that a Squeezebox can't, and that is require one to us an expensive
propriatary wireless network and force me to use their amp! I believe
that Sonos now has an app for iPhone also. Sonos has its place, but for
most people they can save a bunch of money and have much better results
with Squeezebox.

[slim] I am leaving Logitech!

2009-05-25 Thread seanadams

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that I have decided it's finally time for
me to part ways with Logitech.  This has been a wonderful experience,
but it has now been nine years since I started Slim, and I have come to
a point where I just have to do something new again. However, first I'm
just looking forward to a little break. 

I would like to say thanks again to all our customers, and especially
to the members of this forum who made this all possible. I still enjoy
visiting the forums, so I'm sure this is not the last you will hear of
me. I just won't be speaking for Logitech any more. 

Although I don't often find myself at a loss for words, right now I'm
not sure what else to say. It's just time to move on! 

Best wishes,

Sean

Let's be clear: this concerns neither patents nor copyright. Monster

A word should only be registered as a trademark if it is not one that
other honest traders would legitimately want to use (eg a descriptive or

Moreover, a trademark is registered for specific goods and services

a mini-golf provider from using the same name.

Pretty much every business has at least one trademark, and will be
careful to prevent its improper use by competitors. A TM is a valuable
asset. As shown by Lotus (shoes), Lotus (software) and Lotus (sports
cars) there is no reason why a non-descriptive word should not function
as a distinctive trademark for several different - and non-competing -
concerns without inconveniencing the public in any way.

Unfortunately, Monster don't seem to see things that way...

Re: [slim] Replay gain for FLAC files???

2009-05-25 Thread Nonreality

I'm not sure how you used mp3gain to do your mp3's but with the programs
mentioned it will add tags to your files and not alter the actual files
like mp3gain can.  So on a player you have to activate the replay gain. 
It's the better way of doing it.

Re: [slim] I am leaving Logitech!

2009-05-25 Thread epoch1970

Hi Sean,
I am one of the legions (I hope :) of recent customers the reach of
Logitech has brought to the Squeezebox. For many years I was tempted to
buy but never did. Finally an SB grabbed me in the aisle of music shop
last year.

I have to say, too, that my SBs, the open server software, make for the
warmest, most rewarding piece of technology I ever came across. I guess
you couldn't achieve this without being able to  build along the way a
great team, and a strong community.
That's a lot for one man. 

My thanks, and best of luck for the future.

Re: [slim] Editing Playlists

2009-05-25 Thread Brian Ritchie

Playlists are just .m3u files (formatted text); so you can edit them in
lots of other tools (e.g. foobar2000, MediaMonkey) or even a plain text
editor.  However, once you've done that you'll have to tell
SqueezeCenter to rescan (playlists only, or new/changed music) to pick
them up.

Alternatively, point your SC browser to a different player from the
one(s) you're listening to, and edit playlists there. (If you don't have
a spare player, install a copy of SoftSqueeze somewhere and use
that.)

Sean, let me echo the sentiments already expressed on here.
i heard the strange term Squeezebox about five or six years ago on
another forum run by the UK firm NAIM..
the end result is what i'm listening to right now,my Transporter.
it sits beneath another audio icon the Linn Sondek LP12.
they compliment each other in their own unique ways,but always make
listening to music an enjoyable experience.

cheers Sean and Guid Luck to you and yours.

here's hoping you return inspired, to wow us yet again.

It feels vaguely auspicious to learn of your departure from Logitech
just hours after I gave into temptation and ordered a Boom (I finally
decided that an SB3 + gecko blaster + too many wires are a bit too
cumbersome to move around the house). But only vaguely auspicious :-)

Those signed units will be even more special now!

[slim] LAN - no password, WAN - password. Possible?

2009-05-25 Thread WSLam

Just wondering if this is possible.
When I access my SqueezeCenter within my LAN, I obviously do not want
to be bothered with entering a username and password everytime. But I do
stream music to remote location at times (i.e. office) and by opening up
the port to access my music library, I thought it would be a good idea
to have password protection enabled.
Is it possible to have a WAN-access only password enabled?
