[slim] Is the SB3 still available?
I was surprised to find the SB3 missing from the player list on the logitech squeezebox website. Is SB3 obsolete or is it still available? If it's available, can it still be purchased directly or only through resellers?

Re: [slim] Players stop (or never start playing)?
I continue to observe this phenomenon where players will stop producing sound and/or become irresponsive to the remote. It happened twice today that I had to turn players on/and off so that they would play music that (as per display) they were supposed to be playing.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox without remote
The SB3-style remotes, or the backlit versions, may reappear in the Logitech store at some point. Or not. But you could use the Boom remote, which is available. Here's the link I get for the US: http://buy.logitech.com/store/logib2c/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryid.17096400#back The Boom remote doesn't have alphanumeric keys, which I think is a drawback (esp when you enter your WEP key...). It also doesn't have a Brightness button, which is used for player firmware updates. So if you go this route you should set the player to update the firmware automatically when an update is available. This is done in the initial configuration menu I mentioned before. Or you could look for an SB3 on eBay or something. But I just saw Pat's post, and that looks like the best solution -- borrow a remote. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71953 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SB3 bricked? (perpetual reboot)
I had similar symptoms with one of my SB2, but the other SB2 and SB3 were working fine in other rooms. When I swapped the SB2 I found that it was the location, not the device which caused the constant reboots. The bad SB2 worked fine in the other room, and the good SB2 started the constant reboots when moved. Note these SB2s have been in these same locations for years nothing has changed with my setup. What had changed was neighbors and their wireless networks. Basically the network was problematic in this room even though the rest of the house worked fine. I had a second wireless router with wireless turned off. Just to test I turned on wireless on a different ESSID and channel.

Re: [slim] Going from a PC to a Mac...have questions.
I have used both Max and iTunes for several years with the various SB servers. I have never noticed an audible problem with tracks that either program has ripped completely. However, iTunes has failed to complete a few tracks out of thousands that Max was able to complete successfully. Whether that is worth tossing iTunes out for all the other benefits it offers is simply a matter of choice. There are many threads here debating the merits of iTunes. Without addressing those arguments, I think it is safe to say that most people that actually use iTunes are very happy with it, while those that point out missing features (FLAC, secure ripping) have a valid point. I will say however that while the sbooth programs produce good results, the interfaces take a little getting used to - and crashes are not uncommon. In the end, I tend to rip and tag to Apple Lossless with iTunes and convert downloaded FLACs to Apple Lossless using Max to make things usable with my iPod. It would be nice to have mp3tag for the Mac though - very powerful and easy to use in my experience. -- esbrewer Server: 2.4GHz Intel iMac running Mac OS 10.6.1 and SC 7.4.2 Sources: SB3 (2), SB Boom, NAD C542, NAD T515 Amplification: NAD C720BEE Loudspeakers: Paradigm Studio 20 (v.1), SVS SB-12 Plus Headphones: Grado SR60, Etymotic ER4P http://www.last.fm/user/esbrewer esbrewer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Going from a PC to a Mac...have questions.
I used iTunes as my only tool for a significant time - but its ripping software can be a little optimistic. it errs on the rip something rather than giving up. I had about 5% of my 800 cds ripped badly (clicks, dropouts etc.) Also its ever changing interface started to become painful. Others describe it as bloatware, although frankly the recent Squeeze environment with Facebook and Flicker apps seems to be following the same trend. I still use iTunes to mange iPODs, iPhone and AppleTV, just rip and tag in FLAC then convert and import. If, however iTunes Store started to provide lossless file downloads I would probably switch back. Simpler is better IMHO. Other people will probably give you extreme views on iTunes, it didn't do what I needed effectively.

Re: [slim] Error: Can't Connect to Rhapsody
Glad to hear I'm not alone. Rhapsody just recently made a big deal about an overnight outage for a total system upgrade, not much an upgrade it seems. The new Norah Jones stopped working this morning too, I wonder if it is somehow related to a lack of data redundancy on their servers for some of the material. Here's hoping they get it fixes, I'd hate to have to go back to buying CDs.

Re: [slim] Going from a PC to a Mac...have questions.
Would someone please switch on the bulb for a poor unenlightened iTunes user (that's me) and explain (preferably in words of no more than two syllables and something approaching every day English!): 1. what's so bad about it? 2. How does one do what it does on a Mac, including its compatibility with iPods (and no, I'm not talking MP3 nor yet AAC. I play lossless on my iPod through the best headphones I can afford/carry at the time) preferably in a single easy-to-swallow pill, without committing whatever heinous crimes are the answer to (1)? Use of Parallels/VMFusionWare etc etc allowed! I've been using iTunes for about six years, with great delight, in what I suspect is blissful ignorance, and I really would like to know the answer to both of these. I've looked at Max, tried EAC on Windows (ugh to both EAC and Windows, not to mention the database that Max uses - MusicBrainz - which seems to me to be just about useless, certainly for classical), but have never ventured into specialist tagging software. That's partly because by the time I've ripped a track with EAC, for instance, I'm already sobbing with boredom about the whole idea, and partly because there seems so little point when iTunes rips to ALAC and AIFF very efficiently, and makes the tagging so incredibly easy (although it would be nice to be able to rip to both simultaneously or consecutively and place the resulting files into different iTunes libraries). Would switching from iTunes revolutionise my ripping and tagging and - above all - listening without introducing hours of terminal, oakum-picking tedium and grief? How? If there's any feeling that this is off the OP's topic, incidentally, then my apologies. Quite happy to move to a new thread.

Re: [slim] Going from a PC to a Mac...have questions.
Hi, I have used Mac's for many years. I second DaveP opinion, XLD is very good ripper (includes AccurateRip support through CDParanoia engine). It allows simple tagging changes. I use Jaikoz to manage library, tags folder naming, tree structure etc. I use XLD to convert my FLAC library to a separate AAC folder for iPOD use. I hope it helps.

Re: [slim] Going from a PC to a Mac...have questions.
I too have just transferred from PC to Mac after a 10 year absence. WHY did I not do this sooner? I love it! I have always been on the lookout for a good media box, focusing on SB, BBC iPlayer, 4oD, and watching DVD's and this Mac Mini is the mutts nuts for all via SC and PLEX. PLEX even copes with FLAC in a kind of iTunes ish mode. The Mini is also very low power so being partly green minded and partly tight, I don't mind leaving it switched on 24/7. Of no help to the OP, I still have my work laptop with dbpoweramp on it for ripping to FLAC. Perhaps without this, I might have a problem. -- thurstongarden Thurston Garden SB2 - Duet Controller - SB Radio - Cyrus Two & PSX (off Freecycle!) - Mission 773's thurstongarden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20903 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Synchronize issue
I just recently have a need to synchronize but there is are seconds difference in the two player. I want to sync between a SB3 and a SB receiver. The receiver will start several seconds ofter the SB3. To illustrate how far the sync is off; the delay sliders in the settings screen for the SB3 don not provide enough delay.
