Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox: Product Name
Ah yes, it can create a few problems if you choose the wrong name. I remember a software music player/database with the name Teen Spirit. The developer decided to change the name to Conium, which can mean "an extract from hemlock that can be used to treat spasmodic disorders". I suppose music calms the savage beast. It now has the name Jaangle (good name, good player). Mind you, I could do with a sip of conium now.

Re: [slim] Where are your CDs?
If I had a basement or attic, I'd store my CDs in their jewel cases on open shelving, however I live in Manhattan. With real estate at a premium, I need my 2000 CDs to take up as little space as possible in the same cabinet as the stereo. I buy the majority of my music on CDs and I do this for two main reasons; I want to rip them to FLAC, and I want to keep the disc as a backup along with the digital backup. I also like having easy access to the liner notes. The jewel cases get thrown out and I put the CDs in plastic sleeves along with the booklet. When I took on the project about three years ago, MUJI sold these great 14" storage boxes that would hold up to 400 CDs in sleeves. Unfortunately they have stopped making them, and I have not found anything that works as well. I tried the Snap-n-store boxes but I found that they are a tad too narrow. 14396 +---+ |Filename: IMG_20130131_100804_0.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14396| +---+ bomboloni's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80369 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

simbo wrote: > I assume this doesn't cover the -fabrication- of the case too... anyone > got a 3D printer? :) I wasn't going to bother designing anything for GEN1, I thought the dev guys could nail it to a plank of wood while working on it, although I'm happy to do so if needs be. As for GEN2, my thoughts are along the lines of a standard aluminium extruded case with custom end panels - Nice thick CNC machined and engraved front panel and a laser cut and laser engraved rear. I'm also thinking of producing a 3d model of a clam type case that people can take to their preferred rapid prototype supplier and get a set extruded - I'm not sure this would be any cheaper than the aluminium version though and cheap 3D printing looks a bit sh1t. At this point I'm not sure what the board size will be and whether or not GEN1 and 2 will be identical in layout and connector placement. I did see 75mm square mentioned earlier in the thread (3" square to some of you guys). If it stays around this size we can make a lovely little case for it. If we go for a standard extruded ali case we should make the board fit the slots often extruded internally - we would need 3mm clear of components and track running along the sides of the PCB to accommodate this. Most of these extruded cases come standard widths and various lengths. If the PCB could be made to fit the internal length as well as the width the mounted indicators, connectors etc would just pop through the end panel cutouts - no soldering, just slide in the PCB, 2 panels, 8 screws and 4 rubber feet later and you have a completed unit. Both options could be obtained via a group buy and I'm willing to help with this if needed, but early days at the moment. Once John has reasonably firm idea of the PCB area required I'll look see what is available off the shelf for the main case body. Those who are interested pop over to the Hammond Manufacturing web site - they have a lot of info and 3D models of their standard range. These cases should be available worldwide from RS, Farnell and DigiKey amongst others. norm norman12's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It was directed to the possibility of implementing analog outputs. I know because most of the original posts inquiring about whether or not a "proprietary connector" might be used to provide "analog out" were mine - I am also a backer - and o how I wish I had screen shots to share now. 2) The indigogo campaign homepage from the very first day provided that there would be a digital output from the One as originally designed - though of course they have since edited that. It appears that whomever was running their comments was not initially aware that this feature was included on the campaign homepage. The comments in the first week even clarified that this would be a coaxial output. 3) Analog outputs via a "dock" with "proprietary connector" were part of the discussion in the comments more than 20 days before the vote - but those comments are now deleted. 4) In the earliest comments concerning the implementation of any dock for analog out, the Olive representative provided that such a dock would be provided for free to backers - so its not subterfuge per se, just seems to me that they are chasing a profit motive with manipulative inducement. For the record, I do not mind the additional cost personally, and point this out so as to indicate a definitive motive beyond inexplicable "subterfuge" or an interest in providing a "coherent message" 5) As noted previously, the notion that we (backers) are somehow "shaping the deign" seems disingenuous, given that it appears that they began the campaign with a "coherent message" in mind- and then tried to lead a horse to water - i.e. the dock and analog output were part of their road map ab initio, and it seems their "reveal" was intended to maximize potential-market-awareness during the course of the campaign. I'm not sure that's a bad thing per se - these devices are not simple to engineer, such that it was arguably prudent of them to have a sense of where they could take the design. 6) I was one of the first SB3 users way back when it launched, and I'll be one of the last to go.

If I recall correctly, the early discussions about a connector box / hub may have been referring to what Olive are now calling a PAC which is the box that provides a power connector & speaker connections (with a single cable running back from the PAC to the ONE containing the separate wires for power/analogue audio), however I may be wrong about this. The initial product envisaged by the Olive engineers wasnt going to provide any audio connections other than the speaker connections in the PAC, however, almost immediately people starting asking if a digital out could be added to allow owners to use their own DAC (or feed an AV amp). Olive advised that this could be achieved without a great deal of work (as am guessing that the PCB already had a connection for a digital out). Since then, people (I was one of them) started asking for additional connections: analogue out, wired Ethernet & USB. Hence the reason that Olive sent a survey to every backer asking for them to select which additional connectors (& other features) were of most importance & to confirm that they still wanted these to be included even if it meant pushing out the launch date (from July to Sep). I believe that Olive didnt include a question in the survey about a new connection box as this came after the survey results had been collated showing that a large majority wanted additional connections so Olive then had to find the most elegant solution for this. Were Olive engineers able to come up with a fully thought through solution within a couple of days of the survey closing? No, I am sure that they would have started looking at this a number of weeks ago as a result of the feedback in the comments section. There is more background info here: http://www.indiegogo.com/OliveONE?c=activity ..and you can see the connector box here: http://myoliveone.com/Ones/tech_specs I think this is a great solution: for people like me who want to be able to integrate the ONE into 4 different SB based systems that I have in my house (one that uses the SB coax digital out to an external DAC, 2 that use the analogue outs to active speakers and another that uses optical out to an AV amp), I will buy the connector box; for people who have more modest demands & just want to hook up the ONE to a pair of speakers, they dont need to buy the connector box. Re the communications from Olive (and some comments being deleted), whilst some people may see this as subterfuge, I just see this as a company trying to provide a coherent message. Personally, I find the idea of being able to shape the design of a new product very exciting and think that the dialogue that Olive has opened up with potential customers is a great idea. Some of the ideas that people are suggesting are a bit niche (i.e. DAB+ radio, being able to stream audio from TVs, audio inputs etc), but this is bound to happen. Until the ONE is launched, I will continue to make great use of my current squeezeboxes.

Re: [slim] Ipeng question (don't know where this belongs)
Hi Pippin, Thanks for your help. I run a server on my PC, so I don't think I use mysqueezebox.com. Indeed, the PC goed into standby after one hour, maybe the problem lies there. When I come home tonight I will try to play a little bit with the settings. I'll keep you posted, thanks again! tbenschop's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=27147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97981 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
(First time poster, loong time lurker.) My thanks to all involved for a great and very promising initiative! I think the following premature detail would be useful for many of us Squeeople: an output for a power on/off signal to control an amplifier, perhaps just a +5V or +12V output when "on", for use with for instance a solid state relay. A headphones out jack could be used instead together with an applet or plugin like PowerSwitchII (which I use), but I believe it's better not to hinder normal use of headphones.
