Re: [slim] Napster UK closing down
Here in the US Rhapsody simply credited your new Rhapsody account with whatever balance was remaining on your Napster account. So if someone had just resubscribed with Napster for $60 (one year + 60 pm3's) your credit on Rhapsody was also $60, BUT that is only about 5 months of Rhapsody service and no included mp3 downloads. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93498 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] How many people can listen to a radio station's stream?
Is it until the station's bandwidth is used up or something? I have one local station that always seems slammed in the afternoon. Most of the time I'll get some sort of Host Server Full type error message. I just keep hitting the button and, eventually, I get the stream. If I switch off to another station and try to go back, same thing and I have to try again. Not a big deal really, but I found it interesting that it *appears* to have a limit as to how many people can listen at once and I can receive it when someone else drops off that station's stream. This is the only station I've found that does this. -- buffettck buffettck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93518 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Like, say I want to listen to the second track when it ends I want it to move on to track three. You might not know that there is already a function to 'jump' from the now playing screen to the browse of the album screen by pressing on the artist name. From the browse screen you can select further track(s) to either 'play next, or add to the end of the current playlist. Alternatively, if you press on the album name on the now playing screen, it jumps to a screen showing the album, where you can choose to play the entire album next or add the entire album to the end of the current playlist. Not quite the 'play the rest of album from track X' option, but might still possibly be useful to you? -- Guernsey Zoo Guernsey Zoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53272 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

In addition to the number of listeners it's also the number of bits being sent to each listener. For example, my local NPR station streams at 32kbps and 64kbps, and that's fine for news and talk. That's also why RP appears to have a tighter limit on there 192kbps stream (which is sometimes maxed out) than they do on their 128kbps stream, which always seems to be available. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93518 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
As a side effect of playing with the jump to album from now playing for my reply above, it struck me that sometimes it might be useful to be able to jump to Artist, for those times when you are playing an assorted or random selection and get reminded of an artist that you might want to hear more of. At those times, jumping to all tracks by Artist search by pressing on the Artist name would be handy. Likewise with the song title, sometimes in a random selection I hear a cover of a song that prompts me to want to listen to the original or an alternative version of that song. At those times it would be useful to jump to a track search by pressing on the track name. Seriously though, it is already a great app, and like many who have already posted, I agree with keeping it simple. It is already very feature rich, perhaps there could be a way in Ben's bug tracker for users to suggest and then vote for possible enhancements? It is brilliant that Ben has already added many tweaks in response to forum posts, I am very happy with the app as it is, anything that he chooses to add in the future will be gratefully received. -- Guernsey Zoo Guernsey Zoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53272 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
I have been experimenting with Tasker this afternoon and have had encouraging results. Here is some info that might help others wanting to give it a try: Install Tasker (it is a paid for app) Add a profile, I imaginitively called mine 'Headphones' First Context (the trigger) is 'State', 'Hardware,'Headset Plugged', type is 'No Mic'. Create a task, name 'Start Squeeze' Add some actions, I chose the following; 'App','Load App','Squeeze Player' 'Task,'Wait,'2 seconds' 'Media',Media Control','Toggle Pause' 'App','Load App','Orange Squeeze 'Task','Wait,'2 seconds 'Audio','Media Volume','100' I found I needed the 'wait' comands for it to work consistently On the 'Profiles screen, long press on the Start Task, 'Add Exit Task Create a task, name 'Close Squeeze' Add some actions, I chose; 'App','Load App','Orange Squeeze' 'App','Go Home' 'App','Load App','Squeeze Player' 'Audio','Media Volume','75' 'Task','Wait','2 seconds' 'Media','Media Control','Stop' 'App','Go Home' There is a 'Kill App' action, but it didn't seem to do anything to Squeeze Player. I had a couple of crashes during my experimenting, which I sent the reports to Stefan, but I am fairly sure were my fault, not Squeeze Player's. I have had no crash with the above settings. Following the success of the above, I added a profile triggered by Bluetooth connect to my Logitech Z515 speaker, using the same actions as above, the 'State trigger was 'Net', 'Bluetooth Connected', selected my (already paired) speaker, then added my existing 'start' and 'close' tasks to this profile. Both profiles seem to do exactly what I need, so thanks again to Uzi2 for the app suggestion, and to Stefan for the ideas on how to use it. -- Guernsey Zoo Guernsey Zoo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53272 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
