Re: [slim] update firmware without remote
There is a way to setup the SB3 to Auto Update (no remote needed) but ironically this requires a remote to select this setting. Any chance of borrowing a JVC DVD player remote one time to do so? Or borrowing a universal remote with a JVC DVD code input? Other than that I think you are out of luck.

[slim] What device(s) would you recommend for my parents' setup?
Hi All, So I LOVE my new Squeezebox setup in my apartment. I have a couple Squeezebox Radios, and i'm just totally in love with these things. I'm upgrading my home server to a SheevaPlug next week, and I'm pretty excited to set this thing up :-). In any case, I'd like to set my parents up with a Squeezebox setup this Christmas, but I'm not sure which device is best for them. As of now, they have a stereo system with speakers all over the house. The speaker wire is actually run throughout the house and it all comes in once central spot. In that spot, they currently have an Audio receiver hooked up to a CD player. The receiver then outputs to a speaker terminal, basically a hub, where all the speakers are connected to. You can push the buttons on the hub to turn the speakers on / off throughout the house. What's the best way to integrate squeezebox products into the current setup?

[slim] Rhapsody and Napster web remote frustration...
I believe this started when the website was redesigned recently, but when you want to play an entire album with these services via the website remote control, the squeezebox refuses to do so. So you are stuck with playing individual tracks that will repeat themselves. I could make a playlist, however I believe that option is moot because most of the time when you play an individual track with these services, it will play the wrong track, it is usually one track above or below that it confuses it with, but sometimes it's way off. So you can add a track to your favorites and it will have the wrong name, or it will be the right name, but it's not the track that you added to your favorites. It's a complete cluster you know what, why in the world haven't they fixed this yet!?! Who would pay a monthly fee for this crap?!? They must have noticed their sales being way down??

Re: [slim] What device(s) would you recommend for my parents' setup?
The easiest way would be go with either a Duet (Receiver), Classic or Touch connected to the reciever AUX inputs and then control the speakers from the central location. Otherwise you'd need to place Receivers, Booms, Classics, Touch's or Radios every where you want music. The Boom and Radio are self contained, you'd need amps or powered speakers to accompany the others. You might put a switch in the rooms to allow you to switch from the central receiver to the local amp using the existing speakers. If they don't have a server or NAS available, I'd recommend starting with the Touch when it's available and use an external USB drive for the library. If they don't have a centralized remote solution, you might consider the Controller. Then you or they can expand the system. -- JeffHart You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to.

Add the favourite again to the end of the playlist (so that the stations appears twice in the playlist). Set the player to repeat playlist.

Whenever you are in a list (players, current playlist, albums, etc.) Swipe-right on the list to go 'back', if applicable. 2. The player-list can be closed by swiping-right (as there is no 'back' really^^) Cklicking anywhere outside the list closes it too. 3. The current playlist (now playing screen) displays 30 items at a time. You can navigate back and forth by swiping-right/left. The two somewhat ugly arrow-buttons at the bottom do the same. Cklicking anywhere outside the list closes it. Oh, and a 4th hint. The current playlist has context-menu that you access via taphold. === Edit === To those of you who haven't worked with/registered version 0.98: You have to re-register. However the registration requires no more emailing. Instead you'll get a key right from the online registration form that opens in your browser. Copy paste that into the key-field in SlimControl. You open the online registration form by clicking on the blue hyperlink in the SControl registration dialog. I am humbly awaiting your feedback.

[slim] Sumoh TinyAmp S30
Thanks to the combined efforts of Post Danmark and An Post, I am now listening to Smooth Jazz on my SR via a wonderful little Sumoh TinyAmp S30. I am currently trying it on an SR in the study, playing though an old pair of Morduant Short speakers (previously driven by an old NAD C320) prior to final installation in the bedroom with some Proficient C610 speakers. So far, I am very impressed. The TinyAmp has power outputs at both 9v and 5v (for the Classic), is connected by S/PDIF and is an absolute doddle to set up - true plug and play. It came with everything you'd need: Mains cable (continental plug) dc power cable for Classic, and two for the Receiver (0.18m and 0.45m) S/PDIF cables (0.22m and 0.5m) banana connectors. It's a very neat looking amplifier, too Had to contact them directly by email (they're not selling on the web yet) paid by euro bank transfer (free and painless) and my dealings with them have been entirely satisfactory. -- robert6920 robert6920's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70902 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm running backlevel sofware so I don't know about Squeezebox Server but there is a timeout value that you can specify which determines how long the Squeezebox will attempt to reconnect before timing out. Upping that value may help.

Re: [slim] What device(s) would you recommend for my parents' setup?
I think that your parents would love having their very nice stereo system hooked up with the Touch (when it comes out). I know that there will be some new bugs with it but they will be ironed out in time , I am sure. I have a similar setup as you described for your parents and I love the fact that my stereo can blast music to all parts of our home...even though each room cannot be individually volume controlled. I use the itouch with ipeng as a remote controller and I find that it really works well. So, I vote for the Touch for your parents...if you can wait. I actually have the SB3 and I am eagerly awaiting the Touch for another area of our upstairs. The only problem I have with my system as it stands (SB3,Radio,Boom), is the sync on MSB.com is inconsistent. At times it is right on and then at other times it is not right on. But that is off the subject.

[slim] Delays in e-mail support response time
Please accept my apologies to anyone who has suffered long delays lately after contacting Logitech Support via e-mail. We've been going through some transitions within our support organization and have run into unexpected problems resulting in a poor customer experience. See this note from Pat Brubeck, our VP of WorldwIde Quality and Customer Care... What is Going On? An Insiders View As many of you have noticed, we've been having some real challenges providing our normal levels of customer service during the past few weeks. We've had unexpectedly long call-waiting times, as well as issues with both the availability and the response time of our e-mail system. We have also been experiencing some startup issues with our new Customer Care Web site. As a Logitech customer, this is not the support experience you deserve. As the vice president of Customer Care, I want to personally apologize for our recent poor service. How did we get here? As we continued to grow and add more product lines, it became clear that we had to make some fundamental changes in our Customer Care operations. This decision required us to develop new processes, implement new systems and to engage with new partners. Unfortunately, as recent events have demonstrated, this transition has not been as seamless as we had hoped. We understand how frustrating this is, but we need to ask for your continued patience. We know there are still issues with call times, e-mail responses and the new Web site. We are working around the clock to add support capacity and resolve the remaining technical issues as fast as we can. Pat Brubeck Vice President, WorldwIde Quality and Customer Care We are working diligently to correct these issues and return to the response times that our customers expect.

Re: [slim] What device(s) would you recommend for my parents' setup?
I won't ask about the age of your parents. But it looks that their setup is reliable. I suggest a reliable server, this means either the Touch (fingers crossed !) or something like a SheevaPlug. Low power, single purpose, always-on, that will give them excellent quality of service and no second thoughts about wasting electricity. Unless you can hijack the audio switch, or you can add remote-controlled on/off switches in the rooms, and have all this controlled by a plugin, I would suggest the Boom. (I hear the Radio sounds great, and it can operate on batteries, but I fear its small screen.) I love my Boom, and my parents love their, more than the SB Classic they have also. The Boom can add *great sound* to any room where there is no audio yet. And better, it will sync with the main system. (For the Boom, I recommend considering using PeterW's 'contextmenu' and 'saverswitcher' plugins. Out of the box, this combination allows to use the big knob to control volume after briefly pressing it. Press again and you go back to menu navigation mode. I think this is known as grandma mode, here and there.) -- epoch1970 epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70890 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
