That's definitely a closer call. My feeling is no, but it's not as strong a feeling. Because they CD and LP version are not really the same.

Which version of Squeezebox Server/Logitech Media Server is running on
the NAS ? If it's an older version, maybe that can be the issue ?
If you open the web interface and goto Settings/Information, you will
find the version number.
Generally it shouldn't matter if you have Squeezebox Server/Logitech

So far, it really does seem like an "iPad 2S". No revolutionary improvements given how I use the device.

Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
Generally SqueezePad looks OK on iPad 3, except for some reason the fonts are not scaled which I thought iOS did automatically. I've noticed a problem with our own app that will probably affect everyone, and that is that the ultra-high-res cover art really abuses the server and can cause large amounts of memory to be used upscaling artwork to sizes around 1500px or higher. We will need to make some changes to avoid any upscaling and have this scaling done client-side. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
The only issue I have noticed so far is the main menu fonts on the left side menu look a little bit pixelated, probably due to the upscaling of the fonts for the higher resolution display. Low resolution artwork (400x400) also looks pretty bad due to the upscaling.

Bill Burns;696366 Wrote: > But is it OK to download a pirated rip of an album if you own the vinyl? I've been pondering this very question myself. What would make sense to me (although probably not the RIAA) is: You should be able to legally download a digital version of the same physical version that you already own, i.e. a rip of the vinyl if you own the vinyl. You have in fact already paid the performer, the songwriter, etc. for their work. In that scenario, the person who did the rip is merely saving you the time of ripping it yourself. However, that download would have to be through a method that is NOT peer-to-peer file sharing, because peer-to-peer means that you'd be re-sharing it with others who do not necessarily have any rights to possess the music. If the version you download is a remaster, i.e. a different master than the one you own, payment for the work of the remastering engineer is the missing piece.

That is no different from just buying the CD and then selling it without ever having ripped it, which is perfectly legal. You don't own the music, you own the carrier. The point of all this legislation is to prevent people from listening to music without royalties going to the record company, musician and their representatives. In the UK in the past it was technically illegal to make a copy of an LP on cassette tape. However recently it was made legal to rip a CD for personal use on a portable player. This was a concession to the fact that one person is unlikely to want to listen to the CD and MP3 rip simultaneously. However you are (technically) in breach of this if you have a copy on your portable player AND a copy on a server to be played on a Squeezebox which could be listened to by others while you are listening to the same recording on your iPod somewhere else. Is it legal to own a ripped copy of an album having sold the original carrier? The answer in most jurisdictions is no, this is because you are essentially allowing one recording to be used by two people at the same time and (crucially) in different places with only one of them having paid a royalty. This is something that could be propagated ad infinitum if each new owner of a CD rips it and sells it on. Theoretically one CD sale, and one royalty payment to the musician, could result in numerous ripped copies of the music. In practice the "buy CD, rip it, sell CD" strategy is unlikely to lead you to be prosecuted unless you make a business out of it in some way. At best this strategy will just reduce the cost of ownership as few CDs, if any, will be sold at a profit. To sell a CD you would be paying for: - ebay listing - packaging - postage In the UK that lot will cost you around £2.50. The worst is that in order to guarantee a sale you would probably need to significantly under-cut the "market" price, otherwise a recording might not sell and you would need to re-list it at further cost. You might consider this worthwhile for a rare and expensive recording. But as decent second hand copies of most CDs can be bought for £3-£5 few would find it worth the time and aggravation. -- TheLastMan Matt http://www.last.fm/user/MJL-UK *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology DS107+ (500GB) NAS running LMS 7.7.0 on SSODSmod 4.14 *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.

Re: [slim] Android Controller App
I've just added a new artist to my library and it does not appear in the Artist list under My Music when using the App. It appears on my Radio,Touch and Controller and also in the web UI but not on my phone. If I search for the artist the app can find it and display albums by the artist. I don't know if this is new behaviour for the latest update of the app or if any other Artists are missing, I only noticed it when I was checking that the "new and changed" scan had completed correctly.

[slim] Android tablet app for logitech boom
Hi, For 2 weeks now I have the Asus Transformer Prime Tablet (android). Id like to use it to manage my different Logitech players: boom, duet and WLAN radio. I found an android app in googles play/app store. When I installed it I had an issue that my duet + controller did not work anymore and my squeezecenter software on my NAS (ReadyNAS) stopped working. Im not sure if that happened by coincidence. The android app asked me for my mySqueezbox.com user/password. Usually, I do not use mySqueezebox but the Logitech server on my NAS. Question: . can I use the Logitech android app to manage my players with my NAS only? . may there be another Logitech android app to steer my players similar to the SqueezePlay software? Thanks for any guidance. Cheers, bj. -- bj999 bj999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30972 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94189 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
