Re: [slim] My story of picking betamax...
Have been around since SLiMP3 days, currently running that, an SBG (don't hear so much about them!), SB2, 2 SB3's, a Boom, 2 radios a controller. Have always tried to keep things simple, and where possible, wired (have cabled my house). Only ever had 2 problems, one with the SuperDateTime plugin, which is brilliant when it works, but unfortunately seems to need to be updated quite often to keep in step with server releases and changing weather feeds (neither the fault of the developer, but annoying nonetheless), and several issues always related to new releases, which probably add features I'm not going to use anyway. My painful lesson is to not bother updating without a good reason as I get grief from the family when it doesn't 'just work' as they're so used to it. Having been an early adopter and gone down the flac route, am now re-coded to apple lossless iTunes - I know the quality of iTunes new purchases isn't as good, but the convenience of being able to download music on any machine in the house and have it available to the squeezeboxes in a very short time just works for us.

Re: [slim] The 7.6.x lingering issues thread
SW is never perfect, its constantly needing improvement. However, I would agree. 7.6.0 was not ready -- not even close. Like so many organizations, it seems the squeezebox development community is scattered around the globe. Still, it all has to come together and go through some kind of rigorous testing before release. Does that happen? It seems these gross library scanning issues would be caught by an even very modest amount of validation testing. So what is going to be done differently before the next release is deemed ready? -- Zten Zten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1810 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89395 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] My story of picking betamax...
The price we pay for all of this wonderful technological innovation is it is complicated, and sometimes doesn't work as it should. Who ever thought 20 years ago that future media players, receivers, or TVs would crash and need to be rebooted/and or reset? I started with a Slim Devices SB3, but moved on to an Olive 4 due to the WOW factor. After 2+ years I got fed up with Olive's closed system, the software/GUI not working correctly, and the lack of some features on the Olive that we take for granted on the Squeezebox (for example, there is no way to generate any kind of smart or dynamic playlist with the Olive, and playlist creation is a real PITA). I considered going the UPNP/DLNA route, but I could never get that to work with my current supposedly UPNP/DLNA compatible components to my satisfaction. I also considered Sonos, but after reading some Sonus forums, I realized that the Sonos product wasn't perfect either. I decided to go back to Squeezebox since I was at least familiar with it. The other thing about Sonos that wouldn't work for me is my wife would not be willing to control streaming radio stations via an iPhone, tablet, etc. She wants conventional physical radio controls on the player, which as far as I can tell, Sonos does not offer. -- vrette (3) SB Touch, (3) SB Radio, Cambridge Audio 840AV2, 340T, DacMagic, BW 683, HSU VFT2-MK3, Logitech Harmony 880, 7.6.1 on Asus E35M1-M PRO Win7 64 bit , and a bunch of other stuff... vrette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89411 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] My story of picking betamax...
I took a quick look at the Sonos general discussion forum a few minutes ago. Here are some of the subject lines I saw: Dropout problems Upgrade disaster Playlist troubles High-pitched squeal Android app problem Alarm problem Grrr Sound familiar? And that was just from a surface skim of one forum section out of 12. The point wasn't to beat-up on Sonus or declare Squeezebox superior. ANY technical product is going to have a certain percentage of their buyers suffer difficulties. The issues I've had with my Squeezeboxes over the years have been minimal compared to some of the other computer hassles I've faced. Unfortunately, technical problems are just part of the landscape in the world of computers. That said, I love the way my Touch allows me to access my music collection.

If you still don't get it to work, send a PM or mail to

Re: [slim] My story of picking betamax...
I've had a lot more success than Cipro with my SB's. I have 2 SB2s, a Boom and a Radio. I keep them sync'd up most of the time, with the Boom and Radio playing together most of the day every day. I listen to a mix of my own library (~100k tracks mixed MP3 and FLAC files) and internet radio streams. I run my own SS. I have a pretty fast and reliable internet connection, and use a combination of wired, wi-fi and powerline connections to the various SB's. I use iPend on my iPhone and iPad. I don't try to use my Radio as an alarm clock. And everything is pretty darn reliable. There have been various sync issues over the years, and the server has gone through some up and down stages of quality, but in general we use our SBs an awful lot and they generally just work. We love our SB system. I would like to see some updated players (modernized Boom, faster hardware for Touch and a new SB4) as well as some new features (MOG!!), and I think I might over the next year. But even if Logitech disappeared tomorrow, I think I'd get at least a few more years of happy usage out of my system. Something better will come along someday, but for now the SBs are still a very good solution for me. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Regarding the the sync issue, did music on MediaMonkey play on Squeezebox Server straight away without problems? Did you then have to select a play device or did music play on SqueezePlay automatically? I'm away on business at the moment so I can't replicate your issue but will look into it when I return in the next day or so. Thanks again for the feedback, lots of people have downloaded MonkeySqueeze but we don't know their opinion of the addon. Hopefully more people will respond, which then gives us a chance to improve the package. -- Gingernut63 Gingernut63 MonkeySqueeze - Squeezing more music into your life Gingernut63's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] My story of picking betamax...
Thank goodness for a post slightly down on SB that hasn't descended into slanging. I am playing poker and drinking Talisker, so I apologise now if any of the following is disjointed etc. I think it is fairly well documented [citation needed] that VHS won when the porn industry started releasing very little on Betamax format. Perhaps a salutory lesson for Logitech - they keep trying to get in bed with Napster and Spotify. They need to be trying to get in bed with Cathy Barry (you can Google her - I went to school with her). I struggled with a Netgear MP101 and enjoyed the results. I've struggled with my Logitech stuff but again enjoyed the results. I think there's a lot of stuff released now that falls well short of being ready for release. If my Mum bought a washing machine and found that it didn't complete a couple of the cycles occasionally until it had it's firmware updated, she'd be bamboozled. Yet that's exactly what happened when she went into a high street shop and laid down her cash for a new video recorder (she walked out with a PVR). Some people and some products expect plug and play. I doubt there's anything that really realises this dream for music streaming (Philips Streamium looked good to me - whatever happened to them?). I've always plugged in a TV and it's worked, same for a CD player and same for an amp. And I've never bought a cassette deck that, after setting up, I needed to consult the internet to get it working properly (in fact, for most of these products, I never had to look at the instruction manual). At the moment, streaming music through the house demands know how and if you can't be bothered then you return your purchase to the store. Have just read the post that states the Duet was a pup. For me it's the best fit of the SB products. I want a good controller (and the SB Controller always has that quality factor with anybody who picks it up) and the audio nuggets can go off and hide in a corner. My audio equipment is not on a nice rack in full display. It's hidden away from sight to stop my front room looking like a branch of Currys. I have one receiver in the kitchen hidden in the coping of a kitchen cabinet, the receivers are that slender. Lovely. When receivers are cheap on ebay, I'll be bidding on a few. In summary, the best product doesn't always win the day. And don't always go for your AJ, even when they're suited.

[slim] Spotify sound quality
I'm a current subscriber to Rhapsody, but decided to sign up for spotify for the claimed audio improvements. I'm curious if anyone knows how to check with bitrate tracks are being played on our squeezebox using Spotfiy? I can check with other services like Rhapsody or Pandora. Rhapsody shows 192kbps and I belive Pandora is just 128kbps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [slim] Performance of SQLite and large databases
I've done some test on my Ubuntu box and compared SQLite with MySQL and
my results are a bit different than JJZolx.
I've cleared the file system cache before each test and I've executed
each test case twice to ensure I get the same performance. All the
tests started with an empty Cache directory and I started to server and
let it do a full rescan. The tests has been run in a virtual environment
but since I executed them twice I feel that they are repeatable and due
to this should be fairly accurate.
The library I used was the generated 5 track test library I've
posted about earlier in the beta forum. It contains very small FLAC
files which tags has been generated from a discogs database dump. All
music files were stored on a local drive. Statistics from library is:
Total Tracks: 49,808
Total Albums: 4,313
Total Artists: 7,495
Total Genres: 13
The tests were executed on 7.6.1 r33004 (which contains a new SQLite
version but still haven't incorporated the latest WAL related changes
Andy has done)
Anyway, the results are as follows (Discovering files + Scanning new
files):
MYSQL (HIGH DATABASE MEMORY SETTING)
* Discovering files: 00:00:33
* Scanning new files: 00:34:26
MYSQL (NORMAL DATABASE MEMORY SETTING)
* Discovering files: 00:00:34
* Scanning new files: 02:23:09
SQLITE (HIGH DATABASE MEMORY SETTING)
* Discovering files: 00:00:30
* Scanning new files: 00:10:51
SQLITE (NORMAL DATABASE MEMORY SETTING)
* Discovering files: 00:00:30
* Scanning new files: 00:16:28
As you can see, my results are very different from the similar results
JJZolx saw with 65 000 tracks. In all my tests SQLite is a lot faster
than MySQL which is completely opposite to what JJZolx got earlier in
his tests on Windows.
Another thing that's clear is that the Database Memory Config in SBS
Settings/Advanced/Performance makes a big difference, especially on
MySQL.
A quick analysis indicates that the difference could be:
- Linux vs Windows
- SQLite version (I think I used a newer version than JJZolx)
- MySQL version (I used the same as in 7.5, not sure what JJZolx uses)
- Tagging difference (my library is tagged differently than JJZolx)
- FLAC size difference (my FLAC files are a bit smaller than JJZolx)
I plan to run a few more tests to compare with different library sizes
to see if I see the same issues where it slows down with a larger
library as JJZolx saw in his tests. Will get back to more information
about this as soon as I've executed the tests.
Also, the artwork precaching phase does work in my Linux setup with
MySQL in the above tests but I didn't include it in these test results
as I wanted the results too be comparable with those made by JJZolx.
The time of the pre-caching phase seems to vary a lot between different
test runs, not sure exactly why, but it varies between 2-6 minutes in
time in my tests with exactly same configuration, the variation happens
both with SQLite and MySQL so it doesn't seem to be database engine
related.

I used the High setting in Database Memory Setting parameter in SBS

optimization ?
I used the MySQL version bundled with 7.5.6, I think it's 5.0.21 if I
remember correctly.
