Plus a CD drive and some decent ripping s/w, of course. (Oh, that's a Vortexbox, isn't it?) But I agree that it would be a sensible offering from Logitech - a turnkey solution for non-IT literate users. But if such a device were to be created, it's crucial that SqueezeCenter continue to be developed and made available to those of us who do want to configure our own servers. I happen to have a Linux machine running 24/7, so it makes perfect sense to run SqueezeCenter on it too, rather than have yet another box consuming power. However, offering such a server appliance may not solve all of the problems that non-technical users have. The impression I get from these forums is that many (most?) of the problems are down to networking issues rather than getting the server up running. As long as the Squeezebox system runs over whatever standard network the user has, it's vulnerable to these issues. That said, I'm certainly would not advocate that Logitech do a Sonos and switch to a closed, proprietary wireless solution. -- cliveb Transporter - ATC SCM100A cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67040 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

From the Wiki: In telecommunications, bit rate or data transfer rate is the average number of bits, characters, or blocks per unit time passing between equipment in a data transmission system. This is typically measured in multiples of the units bit per second or byte per second. So the higher the rate shown should translate to a higher quality audio stream (of course that does not account for how well it was recorded in the first place). So in other words if the exact same recording is streamed at 24 Kbps and 64 Kbps on another channel, I would prefer to listen to the 64 Kbps. I could probably stand listening to Talk Radio at 24 Kbps for a little while. Music audio minimum for me is 128 Kbps which I can take for a little while. 192 is better and 256 Kbps even better, I can listen for much longer. If comparing to MP3s that have a bunch of detail thrown away, one would consider those to be 96 and 128 Kbps MP3s. 128Kbps is 1/11th the size of the Redbook file it started out as. Of course this is over simplifying to make a comparison.

RTSP would be useful for some WMA stations that stream using MMS-over-RTSP.

Re: [slim] RTSP, why not ?
RTSP is just the control protocol. It basically sets up the session and control thereof (setup, teardown, pause ..). Many very popular apps support it, not sure if elements of the SC solution do or don't. The actual data is then transported with RTP (real time protocol) which carries tiemstamps and sequence numbers and what not. RTP typically works with RTCP for monitoring things like quality of service etc of the session. Not sure what parts of these protocols are or aren't implemented in SC, but then again their whole point is to provide interoperability among vendors in a very public environment - a consideration that isn't quite important in my home. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 and Ubuntu 9.04 64 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67820 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Internet radio URL's
With a Squeezebox if you push the Right Arrow on the controller after you get a station you like then push the Down Arrow once or twice you will see the URL. -- avta avta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67815 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Bathroom compatible squeezebox
Depending on the construction, the things that normally suffers in high humidity areas are the speaker cones. I have installed ceiling speaker with polyprop waterproof cones and a duet / amp system in the loftspace to keep everything away from the water. The charger for the controller is in the bedroom, again away from the water. Although I have been negative about the stability of the controller, I cant say the same about its ability to swim. My wife has dropped it in the bath twice now, and given a day to dry out it still works OK. There are very specific regulations in Europe (and probably the US) about which electrical devices can taken or installed into a bathroom from a safety perspective. As a general rule, unless the device has been specifically designed for bathroom use, then dont do it. Damp hands and damp feet provide a very good path for fault current. Even if you keep the mains adaptor out of the damp area (eg wallmounting a touch in the bathroom with a remote psu), you are still relying on whatever insulation exists in the mains adaptor to keep you from wearing wings and playing a harp. Battery operation is by far the safest. -- Andy8421 Andy8421's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67790 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
