[slim] For Sale - Brand new transporter (Black)

2009-09-15 Thread kevin0964

Hello everyone,

I bought several brand new transporters at a heavily discounted price
from a dealer that is not going to carry the transporter any more.  I
have one left that I am selling.  $1700 and no taxes.  I would
definately prefer it is the person was in the Seattle area, which is
where I am located.  You can email me at kevin.ibra...@verizon.net.

Now, off to go try out my own transporter

Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95

2009-09-15 Thread geoffp

Hi Sebastian,
It looks like there's a problem with playing new audio tracks on the
squeezebox3 in my ripped music library after the first selection. This
also applies to radio stations in my favorites. Once the initial
selection is made, it can't be changed from the PDA. Pandora selection
however, works just fine. 
Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Geoff.

Re: [slim] Browsing the Music Folder

2009-09-15 Thread JJZolx

There's nothing you can do about it.  The way SqueezeCenter works is
that it can only play local music that has been added to its database
and Browse Music Folder catalogs anything new that it finds.

There are various requests on file for exactly what you're seeking.

[slim] Browsing the Music Folder

2009-09-15 Thread Toonie

Hello,

I have a question regarding the browse Music Folder option. What I
would like to be able to do, is keep an "Unsorted" folder within the
Music Folder as a placeholder for files which I would like to browse and
listen to, but NOT have them automatically added to the library. I find
that incredibly annoying as it pollutes the library with clutter. I'd
prefer to keep the library for albums which I have nicely ripped and
sorted, and not have it filled with random entries created by browsing
folders.

Is there anything I can do, or is this going to be a feature request?

I'm a SB Duet user running SC on a QNAP109II

Many Thanks!
Toonie

Thanks, I'll try it tonight.

While the slider is pretty, it might be nice to just keep it easy and
have just an input box.

Or keep the slider as well, but let the input box override the slider -
so if the slider only goes to 90 and then I type in 120, it stays with
120. As it is, there is no indication that 120 is an invalid entry, it
just doesn't work after I hit apply.

Re: [slim] Setting up iTunes a little differently - multiple libraries?

2009-09-15 Thread iPhone

Not direct answer to your problem (let me also say that I hate iTunes
and only use it because I love the iPhone and have to), but would it be
easier to maintain two separate libraries?

That is what I so. I rip all my songs to FLAC. Then the songs I want on
my iPhone, I rip to MP3. I also only back up my FLAC library. If I lose
any MP3s, all I have to do is reconvert them from the FLAC files (knock
on wood, this hasn't happened but it would not be that big of a deal).
The other thing I like about this is that if iTunes screws with tags or
artwork which is known to do from time to time, I just fix the songs
from the FLAC Masters. Its what I call a safe from iTunes library.

For others thinking about this but just starting, the Vortexbox is
great for handling this. It rips a FLAC copy and also converts and
stores an MP3 copy at the same time.

Re: [slim] Setting up iTunes a little differently - multiple libraries?

2009-09-15 Thread markcaines

I have the same issue.  Here is my solution:

I have a single iTunes library with lossless and lower bitrate tracks
in it.  All of the lossless tracks are checked; the lower bitrate tracks
are unchecked (unless I don't have lossless versions).  In Squeezecentre
settings, iTunes tab, I select the option to ignore checked songs.  That
way Squeezecentre just picks up the highest quality version of each
track.

Then to make sure the smallest version of each track goes onto my iPod,
I create smart playlists that only pick up songs with a bitrate below a
certain threshold (if your lossy tracks are at 256, just put something
less than 400), and sync those with my iPod.

It works pretty well.  Also, since I'm on OS X, if I get a new CD, I
have an Automator action that automates the import - imports lossless,
creates a lower bitrate version and unchecks the latter.

The only issue is that you don't get play counts synchronised properly
- but that's a pain with iTunes / Squeezecentre integration anyway.

Hope this helps.

M

Hey Geoff
So I assume you cannot leave the settings view, when it opens another

Like the little window for login information, the error-log, or the

The player window looks all right, no scrollbar.
Then your screen is properly recognized. 
And I'll have to fix the size of the popup dialogs in the settings.

Hi Sebastian,
The main graphics screen is good, but some of the setup screens have no
scroll bar to the right, so I can't reach the bottom selections. My PDA
has a small keyboard and shows a small bar at the bottom for the touch
keyboard selection that shows up when I'm in the setup screens. This
uses up some of the 240x240, (I estimate about 20 pixels) but is not
serious if the scrolling works.
I'll look out for the diagnostic version, and try it later this

Thanks for the info. I paid $299 for my Zamp V.3. I see them all the
time for $329 to $349 (of course USD).

For the speakers you listed, I think you would be more then happy with
an AudioSource 100. As to build quality, let's look at what you are
buying, what your paying for it, and your expecting. If you are
expecting the build and quality of a $1000 amp for $250, then the Amp100
is not going to be the amp. The Zamp V.3 is a killer amp for the price.
Well built and quality sound for the money. But the Amp100 will get the
job done and cost less.

There are also several Class T/D choices with plastic cases. Odd thing
about these are they range from $79 to $600 mainly depending on output
power.

Hi Sebastian,
I don't see any flickering between screens, but in some of the setup
screens, I can't see the bottom of the display and therefore can't get
out of that state without resetting the PDA. This is because there's no
scroll bar. Also, I can't try the music search feature because it's only
an unlicensed version of the software. The wifi turns itself on and off
when entering and exiting the program - this is a great feature.
I'm not sure how to capture a screen shot.
Thanks for developing this - I would be willing to pay a few
euros/bucks for a fully working solution - it's just what I was looking
for.

No, its purely a line-in. However, if you plug an iPod into the USB
port the SB touch (running it's inbuilt Squeezecenter) can scan the ipod
and add the files to its library and play them, which is even better
than actual iPod control IMO.

Not sure which iPods are compatible, but my Classic works fine. Make
sure you enable external drive support when you connect it to iTunes.

Re: [slim] Amplifier recommendations for SB3?

2009-09-15 Thread msherman

Heh, maybe I am being too tough. I gravitate to those 16 1 star
reviews.

Anyway, anyone know where I can find one of these online in canada, or
in a B&M in the Toronto area? My google-fu is failing me.

Hmm, you're a tough audience. The 'Google reviews'
(http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=audiosource+amp+100&hl=en&cid=13970784420185798018&os=reviews#sort=4)
have 53% 5-stars and another 29% 4-stars. 

As for whether it's too deep for a 12" shelf, that depends in part on
your plugs and cables. You might squeak by if you have the typical
inexpensive RCA interconnects (small plugs and thin, flexible cables)
and use bare wire for the speakers instead of banana plugs. Or you might
use L-shaped RCA plugs.

In case you're interested, here's some photos of our kitchen setup:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=285125#post285125. As you
can see, looking good wasn't a criterion, because we hid the amp and SB
away in the pantry, and control it via an SB Controller.

Sure. The speakers are Sonance 621TR. It's the kitchen, so it's not

My budget is probably in the $200-$300 range (canadian). I'm having

Another criteria is size -- this will be going on a kitchen wall shelf

Sorry. But the UI issue isn't "rubbing salt", it's a philosophy thing.
There ARE people who tell me that they prefer Squeemote for this
behavior and I can even understand that. Obviously albertone74 isn't one
of them but people come in different flavors.

Now let's stop hijacking this thread (and I'll try to remind me to

The ":-)" was due to a lot of UI discussions I recently had - iPeng
doesn't have that window and some people claimed that it was a simpler
UI to always bring it up while I refused to do it that way because it's

Re: [slim] [ANN] Squeemote 1.2, now with device sync!

2009-09-15 Thread albertone74

Hi there,
I just purchased the Squeemote application for my Ipod Touch and I must
admit that I am very happy with it. It works great! I do love it! Having
said that I hope someone can help me out with the following questions:

-Does anyone know if it is possible to connect to SqueezeNetwork with
Squeemote? I only managed to connect to Squuezecenter through my
laptop.

-I have noticed that after selecting a track in the Squeemote menu, I
am used to getting a window with 3 options (‘Add to Playlist’ , ‘Replace
Playlist’ and ‘Cancel’). Is there  any way to play a track straight away
without getting that window all the times?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Aha it not a separate wifi card as most of the older designs ?
The chip is actually soldered to the board ?
They could be N compatible who knows, if it is a never chipset, could
be a selling point for the chip manufacturer to have it that way.

Anyway it would not bother me much, your are going to offload the wifi
a lot when your computers are moving to N.

A few years ago I replaced my wrt54g V1 with a wrt54g V5 router - both
g routers - the v5 had newer faster processor, less memory and newer
wireless hardware.  The range and reliability improved.

In any design, experience helps build better products and also
compromises are made to meet price points. The latest generation of
wireless routers (i.e. n) have a much bigger potential customer base
than the g routers so different design choices can be made.

I don't know about the theory of why it can or cannot improve
performance.

I do however know that the three times I have replaced on G class boxes
with N class it has more than doubled the effective range (and also lead
to more reliable streaming at close range). That is with three different
models of G class and three different models of N class.

Maybe it is nothing to do with the N/G and just that the Ns were more
recently designed and therefore took advantage of experience gained ?

Actually this could be an enhancement request for the Touch it is an

I bet some Linux wizz is going to do exactly that and post it in the

Controller might be a lost case it does not seem to have the

Telling a consumer how easy it is for a radio station can reconfigure
their server software doesn't really help the consumer much.

Sure the station might respond; but if it works for most of the
stations listeners using standard PC clients it might not be much of a
priority for the station. It should be a high priority for the
manufacturer of a NMP to ensure compatability with as many music sources
as possible.
