The community is a real asset for the Squeeze line. As Squeeze products lineup is more technically appealing, it seems reasonable that more of the Squeeze community would be willing to fiddle and share. It's not that Sonos buyers couldn't mimic this behavior. But almost by definition, it seems that the prototypical Sonos buyer doesn't know as much about their product and, for the most part, doesn't want to. By the way, I would echo the comments of others in this thread who've discussed upgrading their WAP's and / or antennas. After doing the same I've had no problems with my Duet or Controller. -- eganders eganders's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67040 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This isn't related to the type of playlist, it's an .mp3 tag problem. To get the description updated you need to populate the Artist and Title tags at a minimum.

[slim] Sirius and Napster Not Working as Advertised
Hello. Let me preface my comments by saying that I love the Squeezebox line. I have four of them (1 Duet, 1 Boom and 2 Radios) and feel that they are wonderful devices. That being said, I have a complaint with mysqueezebox.com's delivery of the Sirius and Napster music services. At various times, playback of these services will stop for no explicable reason. I understand that numerous bugs for variations of these problems with Sirius and Napster have been posted in bugzilla. However, I'm not sure how much emphasis Logitech is placing on solving these problems. For example, with the stop of playback for Sirius, this problem was first reported in March 2009 and yet it continues today. See https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11544. The target milestone for fixing the Sirius bug is 8.0, which does not give me much confidence that it will be fixed any time soon. On the one hand, this may not seem like a big deal. If the stream stops playing, just push play again, right? Just pushing play, however, gets extremely annoying in the middle of a party, when you're having dinner, or really when you're doing anything other than wanting to just push play again. In my view, Logitech advertises that these products work with Sirius and Napster, but I don't see that these advertisements live up to their promises because of this stopped-playback problem. I understand that there will be bugs with any system, but it seems that these playback problems with Sirius and Napster (and maybe other services) have been known for some time. Can we get any feedback from Logitech as to what steps will be taken to deal with this issue? Thanks. -- youngml2009 youngml2009's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32079 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72730 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] amplified speakers - Klipsch-XF-48-Icon-X?
I'm currently considering retiring my giant hurking cabinet and stack of amp / pre-amp / sacd player / turntable (gasp!), and going the route of amplified speakers. The Audioengine A5's are my current pick, but I see the Klipsch-XF-48-Icon-X on sale (@ $400 each, but were $1250, and I'm a sucker for a deal) They oddly pitch them as home theater (who does 5.1 without an amp/ rec'r?) In either case, they would be the (stereo) sound for a squeezebox classic (a slimdevices 3, actually) and replace the Dali bookshelves on stands. I realize the two aren't really comparable - the Klipsh are floor standers, twice the price, etc. But if you have experience in this arena, lemme know what you think - I'm sold on the A5's, but I'm not sure if I'm up-sold on the Klipshes.

See the Touch. (Though neither is really workable for ripping/encoding/tagging... it's best in that case to use your regular PC/Mac/Linux/whatever box and copy the files to the server machine... but, then, I think that's true of Sonos, too.) I've always believed there is a huge market for things like VortexBox, though I'm not sure if Logitech really wants to get into that. It could be very difficult since it's way out of their usual product line.

Hoping to audition this weekend. Many people are now letting the DVD Player do the processing. They use the RCA outputs on the back of the DVD Player to drive a stereo amp for the mains and self powered speakers for the surrounds (of course the subwoofer is powered). But one could actually use all powered speakers if they wanted to. My son uses a pair of AVI ADM9.1s with the subwoofer for the fronts, an AE A5 for center channel, two AE A2 for rears with an Earthquake Subwoofer on the LFE out. He uses the digital out to drive the ADM9.1 and RCAs to drive the rest. He can listen to CDs using the DVD player coming over the ADM9.1s. DVD remote has a volume control on it. I have not heard the Klipsh Speakers but they are floor standers so they most likely have better base and of course they have more power then the A5s. If you are going to use them as your main speakers and have the room, I say spend the extra $400. -- 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=72732 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] amplified speakers - Klipsch-XF-48-Icon-X?
Interesting - it does make sense for home theater too, but seems an easier win for stereo. I appreciate the advice - it's my inclination re: bass as well. I'll post my thoughts on the Klipsch floor-standers' sound after a listen. The A5's I can attest to - very nice.

Re: [slim] VortexBox 1.0 what else does it need?
Hi! I'm currently trying out Vortexbox and I'm planning to replace my Ubuntu server with it. A few suggestions. Option to preview and edit the tags before the rips start. Option to preview the cover art and download cover art only to the current rip. To make things more iPod friendly embedd the cover art on rips and flac mirror. Add the itunescompalition tag to various artists albums. All my covers are named folder.jpg and I mainly use flac. Sorry if this options already exists or if I have missunderstod how things works.
