If I were a Logitech designer, right now I would be working on two further devices: DEDICATED SQUEEZECENTER/SBS \"SERVER\"[/B] A BASIC DUAL DRIVE NAS USING RAID 1 \"MIRRORING\" WITH ENOUGH PROCESSING POWER AND MEMORY TO RUN SBS COMFORTABLY AND QUICKLY. IT SHOULD COME PRE-INSTALLED WITH TWO BIG HARD DRIVES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE NAS FIRMWARE AND SBS SOFTWARE WILL BE PRE-INSTALLED ON FLASH MEMORY SO THAT A HARD DISK FAILURE IS EASILY RECTIFIED. THE DRIVES COULD BE MOUNTED ON SIMPLE SLIDE-IN CADDIES AND LOGITECH COULD SELL REPLACEMENT DRIVES PRE-MOUNTED INTO CADDIES. A REBUILD OF THE RAID SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC WHEN A NEW DRIVE IS ADDED. THIS SHOULD NOT TRY AND REPLICATE ALL THE FUNCTIONALITY OF, FOR INSTANCE, THE VORTEXBOX. IT DOES NOT NEED A CD/DVD DRIVE OR RIPPING SOFTWARE. AS ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN DOING DIGITAL MUSIC FOR A DECENT LENGTH OF TIME, THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY MUSIC SOURCES, MUSIC TYPES, FILE TYPES AND META DATA FORMATS TO CATER FOR EVERYBODY. IT SHOULD SIMPLY BE A REPOSITORY FOR THE USER'S MUSIC COLLECTION WITH THE SOLE FUNCTION OF RELIABLY RUNNING SBS 24/7. IT NEEDS TO BE AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE AND HAVE VERY LOW POWER CONSUMPTION AND SOUND OUTPUT AND DESIGNED TO BE LEFT ON 24/7. IF THEY WANT TO BE REALLY INNOVATIVE, LOGITECH COULD BUILD IT USING 2.5\" MOBILE DRIVES SO THAT IT CAN BE EVEN SMALLER AND LOWER POWER THAN MOST CURRENT NAS DEVICES. *DEDICATED SQUEEZEBOX WAP A cheap and cheerful WAP that is there simply to provide a wireless connection to the player(s). It would be designed for maximum compatibility and reliability when used with SqueezeBox players. The default setup should be to run alongside a user's current wireless router or WAP giving a dedicated music network. A sort of open source version of the Sonos network. The [b]main* point of these devices will be that they are fully compatible with all SBS functions (and as many plug-ins as possible), it would be designed for reliability and - most important of all - backed by Logitech support and a strong guarantee. Everything would be pre-installed and as close to "plug and play" as Logitech can make it. Only when digital music is as simple as "plug it in and turn it on" will networked music systems such as SqueezeBox become more widely accepted. -- TheLastMan Matt SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) Synology Diskstation 107+ with FW 2.0-0844 SqueezeCenter 7.3.3 on Synology Package Manager Netgear DG834GT wireless ADSL modem/router Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers in living room.

Re: [slim] Why do we need to chose SqueezeCenter/SqueezeNetwork?
a very intersting topic that shows how, even an entusiast early-adopter user core, requirements and virews can be quite different. i like the versatility of SC and SN. i think the confusing part is that players that are switched to SN utterly "disappear" from the fact of the earth as far as SC is concerned. and if something is called SC, i would assume that it alwasy is aware of and able to establish control over any player in my domain. so philosophically speaking, i think isntead of what seems a big divide and either/or choice, players should have two modes of operation - "SC attached" or "SC bypass". but SC always maintains player visibility and the ability to control them back. and while i am an "always on" server person, there are factors to consider there: - some of us are constant tinkerers are like to upgrade change or reinstall systems with some regularity. while SN is great in its ability to mgive us music while our main machine is down, SC's inability to backup player configuration is not the ideal tool there. it would be *awesome* if SN could act as a configuration repository. - granted modern systems have greatly brought down power consumption (my E8600 based server combines good processing power with about 50W of power (monitor off)), but unfortunately sleep modes are still very temperamental on any home servers, since peripheral vendors don't seem to test drivers that thoroughly for sleep in desktop duty so even believers on "always on" regularly need to take down their machines and upgrade and reconfigure them - scheduled downtime is a best practice in IT... :-) -- 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=68012 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
Alright, I can play music over the SB through SC when I set squeezecenter_address to my pc's IP. All of that works fine. However, the led never changes from blue even after configuration. Squeezenetwork does not see the player as being online, even when I can play music to it. I am trying to use iPeng directly with the SB through squeezenetwork, but since it doesn't see a player I can't do it.

[slim] Going green with a Transporter
Hi, today on my SB Classic, I have the power plugged into the switched outlet on my AV receiver, so that the squeezebox turns on when I switch on the AV receiver. I am replacing the SB with a transporter and want to know if doing this might damage the transporter. If I blow my SB Classic it is not the end of the world - but the transporter ... Seems like this would be no different than just plugging it in every time I wanted to use it, but am not sure if this causes any undo wear or problems as opposed to just powering it down to sleep mode.

kevin0964;460254 Wrote: > as opposed to just powering it down to sleep mode. Such a mode doesn't exist :) The only way to switch off a SB3 or transporter is to pull the power. Pressing the power button just tells the server what screen to show, brightness level and to stop playing. That is all. Power consumption should be exactly the same. it is still receiving data to update the screen and although there will be less load on the CPU, this will make a negligible difference to power consumption. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I do the opposite. I leave my TP on all the time and use IR-Blaster to turn my amplifier on/off when I want to play music. The amplifier uses a lot more power than the TP. The TP will typically use about $3-5/year in electricity. That's about 1% of the power I use in my house. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

You need to use your computer's ethernet address.

Re: [slim] Going green with a Transporter
Speaking of, how many kwh are people using for their homes, what % of this goes to running music equipment. Me and my SO use about 250kwh/month. The TP is about 2.6kwh/month (1%). My primary PC which I use for working from home, running squeezecenter, etc uses about 80kwh/month (30%), but I need to re-measure this since I did a few changes to it. My fridge in my last apartment used about 60kwh/month (25%). I need to go around and audit the power usage of my other stuff. I suspect a large chunk of the power in my new apartment is lighting.
