Re: [slim] HowTo: Prevent server from suspend/hibernate while Squeezecenter playing?
There are issues, and the Ubuntu forums are full of threads , search for sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g ...and perhaps that is all you need. Note you'll seemingly have to do it every time you restart, there are known issues with 9.04 network manager... In my newest creation it works but the result isn't pretty.

In fact it is home servers' rather inconsistent sleep behavior, both in Ubuntu and Vista, that lead me to no configure a dedicated Squeeezecenter server, which at worst consumes 26W peak and thus can be kept on... a decision that was not quite as defensible with a 170W server... -- 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=68248 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Sad news: Jim Thiel has passed away
It is with great sadness that I post that Jim Thiel has lost his battle against cancer. Jim Thiel of Thiel Audio was a man those main passion was advancing the state of art in loudspeaker design that was elegant as well as affordable while still pushing to meet his goal of the most life like audio reproduction possible. I am better for having known him, using his creations, and having spirited audio discussions. I first meet Jim almost 30 years ago when Kathy and he visited the the high end audio shop I repaired gear for. I enjoyed his passion for speakers and began selling them after buying my first pair. Jim will be missed and I for one am glad he was able to see his final design with the Thiel CS 3.7 have such seccess and recieve the awards and reviews it and he deserve. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: 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: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68316 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] PDA-controller SlimControl 0.95
Okay - everything looks great. Of course, what I have said before holds (and I'm sure it's all on your list, so I won't reiterate) but here are my notes on .996: Installation (other than the uninstallation first glitch) was fine - didn't have to re-register. All functionality you mentioned is present and accounted for. Volume control (with 100% there all the time (and not just when you use it) is great! Not sure if I mentioned before a couple of things: Would be great if (perhaps at the top of the screen?) you could easily jump between Now Playing, Playlist and the Library. It is a little annoying having to constantly revert to the main screen and re-select. Tips or captions on some of the buttons might help. Not sure though. I got a little confused when trying to change players, but now I know it's all good. Not sure if they would get in the way and spoil the interface or not.

Well, the reason for the Touch LCD over SB3 VFD are many and varied: - SB3 screen seems dated (though, like you, I love it) - color screen, album and station art - better Menu navigation (can see more than three lines) - more "apps" can be utilized - color & touch screen are where the market is going Touch's text font is larger than the SB3 font using Touch's Proximity and/or Large Text feature for reading the screen from further away than the SB3 screen.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic (SB3) discontinued?
...and paid a fair price for it on Amazon, as a bonus. I like a lot the embedded server in the Touch, but that's about it. I don't understand the urge to use an LCD screen, this is not a video device, it's about music. Compared to the display panel on the Classic, the LCD, even of exceptional quality, -and that would be a departure from the Controller screen- won't be legible enough: no contrast and too small. Besides, I have my daily dose of netbook, ipod, iphone, etc. I enjoy SB3s because I can listen to music and forget the technicalities. The Touch just tries to draw your attention to it.

I'm a big fan of the Classic too, but the Touch works pretty well for distance use. It has a proximity sensor so when you are up close it uses a small sized font, and when you use a remote (and the proximity sensor is not triggered) it uses a larger font. Easily usable from 5m imho for selecting and playing music.

At quick look at what is happening so it may be wrong. It seems SC is ignoring the application/ogg MIME type and just using the extension and has decided the stream is a Flac stream and not an OGG stream and so the new rules is not applied.

Yes. What is happening is that you have a "Various Artists" tag in the files that are sorting incorectly, so they are all being sorted within "V" (for "Various Artists"). You need to use a proper tool such as MP3Tag to sort out your Artist tags.

The wireless transport protocol has zero effect on the fidelity or features. 802.11n itself has nothing to do with the FCC, they don't get involved with the communication standards, especially not in unlicensed bands. All they do in the testing reports is make sure devices are not spewing out masses of interference that they shouldn't be and all communications are within that licensed or unlicensed band. -- 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=67882 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Redesigned Logitech web site
Oh dear, oh dear. As well as the massive chunk of Flash on the front page there are some other unwelcome design choices. When you get to the Squeezebox page, the page is so wide that it doesn't fit on my browser window that is normally sized to fit 2/3 of my 1600 pixel wide monitor. Also, you can't click on the nice big images of the products to open their details pages. I expect a lot of users never to discover that they can click on the name of the product to open the details page. You can however drag the products around. WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE WANT/NEED TO DO THAT ? The site is now lousy to use on the iPhone, due to the big bit of Flash, the extremely fiddly two stage drop down AND pop out menus and the small click targets when there is a perfectly good and large image that could be the click target. Oh and it is slow too [-] Rant over. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?

I hate it in general, and more recently, I've found that it is very, very difficult to get a 64 bit Linux release to properly display Flash. Neither Firefox 3.5 nor Google Chrome can get the plugin to work. Or at least, I can't get the installation to work for either of them. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 in the 64 bit version on my newest desktop computer -- mostly because I ordered it with 8GB of ram and with minor exceptions, 32 bit OS versions don't use (can't use?) more than 4GB. In these days of bloated software and RAM being nearly free, it was inexpensive, or perhaps even cheap, to get the system with 8GB of ram. I consider myself a pretty serious geek, nearly 40 years of professional software, a MS in Computer Science, 10+ computers in my house, and more than five SqueezeBoxen.
