Don't get too sentimental about your SB3s if you haven't heard the superior sound of a Touch through your sound system. If you're using an external DAC, then I guess it's mostly a UI matter and not so substantive a difference.

I definitely come at this from a specific perspective (my own, haha) and since I have a small music collection (<300 albums) I've never had trouble using the jump-to-letter keypad entry scrolling system on the VFD-based SB's. LazySearch also solved that problem well in a different way. But I can see how it could be more frustrating with a really large collection. For me, the always-on nature, instant response, and legibility of the VFDs is the big win. I don't want to have to wander over to the stereo to control the Touch. And when I do want to control or browse with a screen like that I'd prefer do it from my laptop, iPad*, or smartphone*. * I don't currently have these devices, but if I wanted a Touch-like interface I'd buy one of them. -- azinck3 azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92232 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] OMG Awesome set up with googletv
I'm a squeezebox purist. I hate having pandora on my TV and Roku, because I know it's not my music library and it's not synchronized with my kitchen and bedroom. So last night, my logitech revue updated to Honeycomb, and I managed to sideload a few APKs that are not in the google market. One of them was the Logitech Squeezebox App. OH MY GOD. Logitech! Put this app in the google marketplace for googletv. It works FANTASTICALLY on the big screen. Nothing makes me happier than the fact that I can now use the tv with friends and family at my christmas party next week. And when we listen to pandora, rhapsody, or my own library, it'll all be nice and synchronized. +---+ |Filename: IMG_20111212_140244.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12859| +---+ -- FredFredrickson Get your news and stock updates right here: 'Squeezebox Updates' (http://sb.cnhpa.com)!

Re: [slim] Just 5 years and a bit less than 2 month Logitech has acquired Slim Devices
The Duet was my first Squeezebox -- and so while I can understand the bad name it has earned (somewhat rightfully, I admit) I am very grateful for that product line as it introduced me to the world of SB. It's easy to bash the Duet now, but keep in mind that it was launched only 6 months after the first iPhone was released, and certainly was out before the AppStore existed. Without getting sidetracked into a love/hate Apple thread, there is no denying that the iPhone has been tremendously disruptive. The SBC might look redundant or even silly today, but in a pre-iPhone world I think it makes perfect sense that Slim/Logi pursued a portable controller. I missed out on the pre-Logitech days, but I can say that it feels different now than it did in early 2008 when I started paying attention. The team is so much smaller now and new product development seems to have stalled. Although Andy's comments of late give me hope that there could be a revival upon us... Anyone heard what Sean or Dean are up to these days? It's unfortunate to not see them on these boards anymore. Figure this must have been something they loved as much (and probably more) than the rest of us here--sad that they no longer seem to be a part of this community. -- ajkidle squeezeboxen: 2x sbr, sb3, 2x boom, 2x radio, ipeng controlled by: iphone 4 running ipeng server: msi nettop 100 running vortexbox 2.0, lms 7.7 network: at&t u-verse, apple time capsule a1409, 5 netgear powerline av200 adapters music sources: local flacs, rhapsody, pandora ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92232 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Just 5 years and a bit less than 2 month Logitech has acquired Slim Devices
To be fair to Logitech, it must be hard to please everyone - even I find that one week I have one opinion on what kind of player / message they should push, and then that changes a few weeks later. People claim the duet is a disaster and I am inclined to agree except that since I got an ipad and installed ipeng, suddenly I'm thinking that receivers hidden away are actually quite good and maybe Logitech should be pushing that more as a way to grow out of the main music room and into the rest of the house (isn't that similar to Sonos?). If they want hardware volumes, it's easier to sell an extra 2 or 3 players to existing customers rather than attract new customers. The controller was (and remains) the weakness in the Duet combo. The touch is ok but it's not going to spread beyond 1 or 2 per house unless the price drops. The VFD devices were my preference till I started with ipeng, but now I'm tempted to churn my SB2's for receivers (if only I could find them at reasonable price). Is it me, or have Logitech meandered on strategy? Suddenly they appear to be thinning the range down - either we are about to see the lot drop off a cliff, or some new boxes and direction have to come after Christmas (maybe at CES?). -- yeomanspc yeomanspc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92232 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Just 5 years and a bit less than 2 month Logitech has acquired Slim Devices
The duet definitely had some growing pains. I wasn't exactly an early adoptor and I had a lot of trouble setting it up. 6 months or so later, my brother (much less techy than me) bought one and had no trouble at all. So it did get better. At the time, it was really cool. By today's standards, the display is pretty low rez and the controller is a bit bulky, but it certainly works well. The changes they made to the controller's UI with the 7.x releases was a big improvement too! It's hard to say how things would have turned out if SD was never acquired by Logitech. I like that Logitech broadened availablity through a large variety of retailers. I don't like that Logitech is now struggling and the Squeezebox line isn't exactly their core competency. If Logitech didn't buy SD, we still would have seen the Boom - that was probably already in flight prior to the purchase. Perhaps the duet and radio would have been skipped and we would have jumped right to the Touch. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch, SqueezeCommander on Xoom.

I'm very glad to hear of your good experience. When I mentioned "reliability" I didn't really mean that the hardware was failing more often, just that the frequency of software glitches seemed to increase with these products as compared to the earlier products. They feel more buggy to me (I particularly loathe the Duet controller) and are thus less "reliable" at delivering easy access to my music. A lot of this is due to the fact that they're trying to do a bit more and thus there are more opportunities for bugs. I should also add that I still think these are far-and-away the best media streamers available. It's just that a lot of the "magic" is gone compared to the slimp3 days. jazzcat;676234 Wrote: > I hope Logitech continues to market and support the SB product line. Agreed 100%.

Re: [slim] Just 5 years and a bit less than 2 month Logitech has acquired Slim Devices
As a newcomer to the SB, I knew nothing about the era of Slim Devices before Logitech. I will say this however I'm not "overwhelmed and frustrated by the relative complexity of the device", nor do I find it "a little fussy". I think it works very intuitively. The ol' jazzcat had no trouble with set-up or operation. I never had to call Logitech for help. (I do think they should provide the "Features Manual" in print or disc with the unit. The "quick start" guide is too basic.) "As the devices got less "Slim" it seems reliability went down"while my Touch and Radio are brand new and just starting their working lives, I don't expect them to be unreliable (and certainly not like the Aluratek IR I had that was a short-lived, piece of garbage.) My Touch and Radio worked right out of the box, first time, no "bugs", no hassles. I'm proud to show these products to my friends. They are as well-built as any thing in the marketplace. "It's a tough product to sell to the mass-market". Maybe true, especially when the "mass-market" has a large proportion of dumbed-down consumers. If Logitech wants to continue selling SB's, they need to do a lot more marketing. At the store where I bought mine, the boxes were buried on a dusty lower shelf. The salesperson I asked for help wasn't even sure where they were located in the store. So, as a person who just discovered these Logitech products, I can offer nothing but praise and thanks to the company that made them. I hope Logitech continues to market and support the SB product line. jazzcat -- jazzcat jazzcat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92232 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for your answers.
I hope this is mysb related issue. Opened ticket but is not solved
yet.
Indeed I can't see my SBT on MySB.com.
I'll check my credentials once back home but I am pretty sure they are
the same at both locations. Probably someone registered to MySB from
the online shop where I bought my SBT.
I was wondering if registering both SBS and SBT to MySB was not the
cause but it seems not according to your answer. I know there is an
optional SBS plugin allowing SBT to access MySB through SBS, maybe this
would solve the issue, but is it supported by SC?

Re: [slim] Just 5 years and a bit less than 2 month Logitech has acquired Slim Devices
Personally I think the Touch, Radio, and Duet were all mistakes. I consider the Boom the last of the "true" Squeezeboxen. All the LCD-screen devices are hard to read, sluggish to operate, and introduce a level of interface fussiness that was wonderfully missing in all the VFD-based Squeezeboxes. Not only that, but as the devices got less "Slim" it seems reliability went down. It's a tough product to sell to the mass-market. It's fantastically capable, but we all know it's a little fussy. I think it's probably been a tech support nightmare for them. So now they're trying to market things like the Radio to the mass-market who may not buy it because they compare it against other internet radios which are cheaper, but even if they do buy it may then be overwhelmed and frustrated by the relative complexity of the device and some of the bugs that exist as a result of the software supporting such a large and diverse ecosystem. I don't think it's sustainable. It's hard to know what would have happened if Logitech hadn't come along. Time and technology continues to march on, and things like iPhones and iPads have certainly changed the landscape irreversibly. Slim Devices may have made many of the same missteps regardless of whether or not Logitech ever acquired them. But that said, there was a certain "special-ness" around Slim Devices that has slowly evaporated ever since they were acquired. This was partially the result of a series of product introductions that were a meaningful departure from the previous paradigm (and were, as I argue above, weaker products). Not only that, but we all love a certain feeling of "exclusivity"; the Slim Devices name provided that, Logitech doesn't (especially important since a large portion of the Slim Devices fan-base consisted of "audiophiles"). Those things, combined with the fact that the community was now being asked to contribute code and effort back to a huge multinational company meant that overall community enthusiasm and developer support for the products waned. And that's the crux of it. Aside from any individual mis-steps that may have been made, Logitech was never set up to be able to foster the kind of enthusiast community that drove Slim Devices to success in the first place. They tried, and they did some things right (keeping Sean and Dean and Andy and others on for a while) but customer service struggled and I suspect this niche product could never drive enough sales for them to justify the level of involvement required. -- azinck3 azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92232 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Restart the server.

Re: [slim] Can't Squeezebox Server to do a re-scan
Don't know whether there was just something wrong with my install or what but when I deleted the files in the cache directory (I stopped SBS first, deleted the contents of the cache directory and then re-started SBS)I could no longer get the web interface to respond and my Squeezebox couldn't connect either. I tried re-booting the server machine as well as several re-starts all to no avail. In the end I just un-installed SBS and installed the latest version, and everything seems to be working now!

Re: [slim] Multiroom squeezebox audio system - input wanted
Because the Touch will light up your whole bedroom with it's display. In the bedroom you need a Classic or a Boom or a Radio.

[slim] Lost all my apps...MSB down?
Starting late yesterday afternoon I lost access to all my apps (Rhapsody, Pandora, SiriusXM). Local music and internet radio still plays fine. I tried logging on to MSB and the site won't open. I'm running SMS 7.6 on MacOSX. I've cycled my players on and off and reset my router.
