Re: [slim] Transporter Bitrate Question
I'm no fan of iTunes, but it sounds like you really don't understand what is happening here. The volume control at the top of the iTunes window will have no effect on the tags added to your files to indicate any volume levelling. The bit rate lowering also has nothing to do with iTunes. That it purely down to Squeezebox Server converting the audio to FLAC before streaming it to the player. This is a perfectly sensible thing to do (to reduce network usage) and the fact that it reports a lowered bitrate doesn't mean you have lost anything, FLAC is completely lossless, the same data will arrive at your player as was read from your CD with iTunes. I'd agree that dbPowerAmp is much better than iTunes at ripping, but you are trying to blame iTunes for things that have nothing to do with it. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them.

[slim] Issue with new router and SB3
Hi - hope this is the correct forum for this post. I have recently changed my router from an Orange Livebox to a D-Link DSL-2740R and have successfully got everything (Wii, SB3, iPod Touch) back up and running wirelessly having changed security from WEP to WPA2. Orange remains my ISP for the next couple of months. However, I have since noticed one annoying feature of my new environment. In the past the SB3 would only show the message Can't connect to server: ONCE ONLY when the server was shut down, went into standbye or hibernation, or if wireless dropped. Now I have a situation where when the server is off or in standbye or hibernation the message is displayed every 5 minutes (I've timed it). It looks like something is polling it at this interval. I would rather it didn't do this as it is distracting when watching TV (my SB3 is on same stand as TV). Any insights would be appreciated. My setup is as follows; Server = Win XP SP2 with Squeezebox Server version 7.5.0 r30464 (not 24/7) D-Link DSL 2740R running firmware version UK_1.13. WPA2 enabled, with firewall switched on (24/7) SB3 firmware 130 -- russelc russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79717 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Voice Command for Squeezebox? Still Not Much Interest?
After trying to train my primary customer (spouse) on the Squeezebox with various interfaces (Presets on Radio, SB Controller, Ipeng) I keep coming back to what I think would be a killer usability feature: Voice Command for the Squeezebox platform. I saw an old thread that someone had played around with this at one point (2008) but haven't seen much about it recently. Anyone else think that this would be a worthwhile feature? I believe the new Iphones have something similar... we've all used voice command to make phone calls on various platforms... Microsoft has the Sync software in Ford vehicles. Voice Command works without training lately, so it's something that could really be something easy for users. It doesn't even have to be too complicated - I'm looking for commands like: Playlist Shane Favorites Random, Skip Track, Mute All, Sync All Players, Play Artist Pink Floyd, Play Album Dark Side of the Moon, etc. For some simple and common commands, Voice Command would be much faster than navigating menus, no matter how well presented those menus are. In some threads like this, there's always someone that comes up with examples of how a certain keyword in a song would cause undesired behavior What if they say 'stop' in the song?? but on any of these systems there is usually a button press or something similar that can easily distinguish a command from normal background noise or music. I think Voice Command continues to get better and better - someday I would love to see some way to run Squeezebox this way...

[slim] Squeezebox classic v.3 display turns off
Hi forum helpers. Last week something went wrong with my SB3. The display turns off while music is playing, but the music keeps playing. There is no other way to turn it on again except unlugging the power cable, and plug it back in. I have of course tried using the brightness button, and now playing button without success. I have the VU meter as scrensaver. I have had the sb3 for 3 years and have never experienced this problem before. I tried uninstalling squeezeserver 7.4 totally and installed the new 7.5 but the problems still exist. After a couple of songs the display turns off, and never comes back, and it is definanatly not a loose connection, as i've tried to shake player. When the player is turned of with time and date screensaver there is no problem. The problem is only when i start the music, and sometimes when i scroll through my music folder it turns off. Could this be caused by a bad power supply? Except the display turn off, everything is working fine, and i can use the web based squeezecenter to change music. I hope someone can help, or maybe someone had the same problem. Thanks in advance.

Re: [slim] Voice Command for Squeezebox? Still Not Much Interest?
I'm right behind you. For years I've found it incredible that we are have to use a stupidly limited keyboard to communicate from an amazingly complex human brain to an increasingly powerful computer. I've had my eyes on Dragon Dictate since before it was released for Windows in 1997. Unfortunately the promise of voice controlled computing power has still not been realised 13 years later. But, the iPhone has re-enthused me. I frequently use the iPhone and Google voice control to make telephone calls, play music and search the web. And it works very well for me (Southern English accent). In another thread I've made the point that I think single-use dedicated hardware controllers will soon become a thing of the past and that increasingly people will own their own personal hand-held touch-screen smart device (the iPhone leads the way) that they will use to control a whole host of things. Maybe a realistic option for Logitech is to release an iPhone and Droid app that enables voices controls on these devices. I'm sure it's possible but at this moment in time it would probably be a bit bleeding edge for a company such as Logitech and require much more resources than they have. However, it is pretty certain that voice control will eventually be the way we control our personal smart devices and the apps installed on them. Next session I'll expound on the merging of silicon, nano-technology and bio-technology and the amazing cyborg future this will almost inevitably bring the human race. (Personally I can't wait).

It's not going to be perfect but using the first word (or two) as a control word (e.g. play album) and the following words to define the object (track/album/artist) could work.

Re: [slim] Firmware 15
The only way it would even potentially be better: You have a SB2 that was modded and the mod 'corrected' the polarity on output, which was due to a software bug in versions = 15 of the SB2. Even then, it's dubious whether it is meaningful or not. Ie, VERY old versions of firmware (=15) had a bug. Some modder decided to fix it in hardware. The bug was fixed in software at v16 and later. So, all you would be doing is (in theory) making things worse, assuming you believe polarity is discernable. Do you have a modded SB2? -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79744 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

What difference does it even make? If replay gain is turned off (the default setting) for the player playing these files then it's not applied. It's just a piece of data that is ignored. The WAV files probably don't have any tags. Information in iTunes about the files would be in iTunes' database, not file tags. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79308 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Transporter Bitrate Question
Can we start again? You had 2 questions: 1) Why is the bitrate reported as lower than you think it should be - answer: by default FLAC is used as the streaming transport protocol to the player and that needs less bits than wav/pcm. It is still perfect fidelity. Forget about it. 2) Why does Replaygain information show up on the screen? - answer: the files you are playing have replaygain tags associated with them. They were put there by iTunes. If you have the adjust volume options turned off (settings - player - audio) they do nothing at all. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
