1. Search and then pick an artist. Albums are not sorted as if you pick an artist without searching. They should be sorted by Year (or Name if that setting is on). 2. Syncing players by dragging is kinda hard sometimes. When dropping the player "inside" another player is sometimes 3. Syncing players and then unsyncing them by dragging them sometimes leaves the players synced even though they are displayed in the interface as unsynced. 4. Rearrange order of players works fine except that you can't drop a player at top.

Assuming > it fails, does it fail gracefully with 7.3.4? Peng still works with SC 7.3.x And I believe it's a worthwhile update for 7.3 users, too. The context menus will not work as well with 7.3 as with 7.4 because there's a lot of functionality that's not yet there in 7.3 but that's new 7.4 functionality anyway and I have also spent considerable effort to get 7.3 as close as possible. Also, the Music Services will still be under "Radios" and not under "Apps" obviously and lack the new functionality you can get there (especially context menus, again). You also only can put them on the main menu with 7.4. So if you don't feel like going to 7.4 take your time. 7.4 does have some teething problems, although I believe it will eventually be worthwhile and some of these are not as bas with iPeng as without (iPeng _does_ have TrackInfo on NowPlaying and the current playlist also with 7.4 although some menu entries do not work correctly and it's a bit more easy to switch between SBS and MySB. markstrom;464126 Wrote: > 1.

Could you file a ticket for this so that I not forget to fix it? https://trac.penguinlovesmusic.de/trac/ipengnat/ 2. Yes, well, that's how D'n'D on iPhone is... It's a bit hard to do with only "touch" as a control... You can also sync by selecting the players you want to sync and pressing the "sync" button on the lower toolbar. 3. This is strange and should not be. I also haven't seen that. Are you sure they are still synced? Sometimes it can take a short while until server feedback about sync/mode actions (move means: to another server) comes in ans therefore there can be a jumping back and forth but it should eventually do as commanded. 4. rearranging players is not purely accidental but let's say it's not an advertised feature because there are quite a lot of situations where it will not work (the sort order will change on it's own, that is). It's extremely ahrd to get around that because what I see is that the server sometimes sporadically "forgets" about a player and brings it back later and you have to react to that because it could well have been a change through a different interface. You could also file a ticket on the "rearrange to first place" thing and I'll investigate but right now I am not sure whether I maybe intentionally ignored the lack because you can still move the first item to second place. pichonCalavera;464129 Wrote: > I just played with it only for a few minutes, but the ability to grab > some items and delete them in the Now Playing screens is the highlight > for me and it's great!! > > Any chance that a future update will allow to move many items too? Actually that's something where I tried to get my head around recently (although for players, not tracks). Would a logic to mark several items and move them together if you move one of them be somehow intuitive? That would make for a great ticket then :D Rest;464105 Wrote: > Nice!

Well, if you ask like _that_ I can't give you an answer. iPeng still supports it and it works better than in 1.1.2 yet I have never had any issues with this feature, it works fine with my controller as well. So if people are experiencing issues I believe it's either a) they lost/changed their library settings and don't have a music library set anymore (but use only iTunes or MusicIP integration) b) there is some kind of issue with 7.4 and music folder browsing that I never encountered.

[slim] Two distinct libraries
Hi there I just got my Duet two days ago and until now, I really love it. Setup together with a QNAP-TS109 went smoothly and everything works fine. However, still some questions remain open. The most important at the moment is the following: I live together with my girlfriend and we have completely different music tastes (don't worry, we have other things in common...;-)). But all our albums are of course in the same folder on the server and thus also when we scroll through our library with the controller, all albums from the two of us appear. Now my question: Is there a way to have two distinct libraries, so that when I look at it only my albums appear and the same for my girlfriend. Of course, I can make two playlists, but if I do that, I don't have the album or artist structure anymore. Any ideas?

I know a little about software design - MS. IMO, the fact that each of these products must be updated at the same time is not a good design - convenient for Logitech perhaps but not a good design.

Now compare what services & features & functions are on those standalone internet only radios vs the Boom. If you are using your Boom for internet only SN/MySB connections (and I'd bet many do) then your FW updates would be rare. I've never had a "bricked" unit with four different SB players going back several years. I'm sure it has happened, somewhere-somehow, but I think this would be a very rare instance. In the last two years SB/Logitech has probably doubled the amount of Music Services it offers, to say nothing of other features and enhancements they have added. Most of these additions require a FW Update to the players so the players can communicate and function with newly added services and features. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68521 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Sorry, but I think that would be really nuts. The SB Touch is already much bigger and unwieldy than that "other Touch" (hint: Apple) BEFORE adding a battery pack. And the extra bulk is because of all kinds of things that are completely irrelevant to using it as a remote, such as ethernet jack, optical outputs, RCA outputs, processor and RAM powerful enough to run TinySC, etc. It's just not designed to be a remote, or at least not a portable remote.

And I do have the opinion (and expressed it quite a few times over in the developer forum) that this has to change because it negates the huge asset (IMHO) the community development is. IMHO, any changes to interfaces, internal as well as external should be deprecated for one release before taking effect so that developers have time to adapt. But after all, that's a design decision and we have to be aware of the price. Look at Microsoft's products.

Re: [slim] Upgrade killed my SqueezeBox remote
I have upgraded to SC7.4 and my Favorites have disappeared. Am I supposed to find them in MySqueezebox (this has only my SN Favorites, not the Folders and Favorites that were in SC7.3) and if so how do they synchronise to SC. If the two lots of favourites remain independent have my SC Favorites been junked and do I have to re-enter them all again. (For what it is worth I did click on the "No" when invited to delete my logs, etc when upgrading.) As a separate point, entering a name in "Music Library Name" in SB Server Control Panel has no effect on the "My Music" menu. Does this hint at the same or a different problem, please. Lastly, I note in the release notes that "Now, when you turn off Squeezebox Server you'll be prompted to switch to MySqueezebox.com to continue listening to music". How and when does this happen, I just get the same "cannot connect to server" on the SB and then everything goes quiet. (To check my status I have tried looking in "1. Go to Settings->Home Menu, 2. Scroll down to almost bottom of list, 3. Click on Switch to mysqueezebox.com" but I get stuck at the first item, what and where are the Home Menu - I cannot find it in SC Settings nor in MySqueeze Account Settings.)

Re: [slim] CodeBaby on new Logitech Squeezebox site
I had no idea when I started this thread that it would grow to five pages... I guess I was trying to be funny with my topic starter but the more I think about it, the more the whole CodeBaby thing worries me. When I first found out about the Slimp3 on slashdot, I wanted one badly and couldn't afford it. It wasn't until the SB3 came out that I was finally able to take the plunge. Throughout that time, the image/perception I had in my head about the company and its founders was that of people who had an itch to scratch. They scratched it very well by creating a whole new class of product. You could tell they really put thought into how it was going to be used as you knew they used it themselves. You could tell that they had a sense of humor by some of their press releases. There was heart and soul imbued into their products. They might not have head the glitzy marketing campaigns or other companies, but the simple and easy to use website (how novel, useful photos and specs of the device on the main product page!) and the quality of the product sold me and helped me sell others as well. Over time I am sure Slim wanted to increase sales volumes. The purchase of Slim by Logitech seemed logical. I was slightly skeptical, but sense the original team was staying on, I was optimistic that the quality dedication would continue. Over time I have seen the Slimdevices.com website slowly acclimated in the whole Logitech website eco-system and watched its usability go downhill (again in my opinion). I have read how the original founders are moving on (again, very understandable). I am just afraid that the heart of soul of the original small group that formed Slim Devices has become absorbed by a larger company that just doesn't "get it", in terms of what made Slim so great from the beginning. The new Radio and Touch look great. I am assuming that these products are the last ones that started their life under the original developers before Logitech came in (I could be and probably am wrong :-) any one want to correct me?). I am worried as to what comes next...will that same impressive engineering skill and heart and dedication no longer show? I hope I am wrong. I really do. I am begging Slim/Logitech to prove me so. It all just reminds me of what happened with the original Palm Pilot. Jeff Hawkins founded Palm computing with a handful of people and produced an incredible device. They went on to be bought by U.S. Robotics, then 3com. Hawkins got tired of being part of the big machine and left to start Handspring, which again came out with radical new devices such as the first Treo. I remember watching one of the first interviews with him in the new Handspring office and it looked like Jeff and his team were sitting on a couch they picked out of the garbage. It seemed like he knew he wanted it small, and wanted his hands on the products to make sure they were great. Well, eventually 3com spun off Palm, and then Palm bought Handspring. Now, what was once a great and revolutionary product and company has become almost a joke (yes I had a Treo and used a Pre). I just hope the pattern I saw with Palm isn't what is happening to Slim Devices. But when I see something like CodeBaby trying to sell me something, my fears start to grow.

[slim] How to add Playlist as Favorite?
Ok. So I upgraded to 7.4 and sure enough all of my favorites were gone. Not such a big deal as most of them were radio stations that I was able to save again easily. But I also have some SQL Playlists saved as favorites. The playlists are still there but I dont remember how I was able to save them as favorites. I tried both through the WEB GUI and Squeezeplay. Couldnt find anything to save them. I think (?) I may have saved them through my boombox. I cant test since I am at work right now. But is there a way to save a currently playing playlist as a favorite? Either through a player (boom, sb3, etc) or through the WEB GUI?

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] iPeng 1.2 for iPhone now on the AppStore
Hi Pippin, i must say it's great to see such interaction between developer and customers, i'm a recent convert to squeezebox, and a big part of my decision was driven by ipeng, and the positive reviews and constant conversation you engage users in. The update looks great, the icon in particular (good design always helps!) nice work, can't wait to get home and fire up the squeezebox. andy PS. it's available now in the NZ store. -- championsound championsound's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32869 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
