[slim] Using playlists to make moods, suggestions? alternatives?
I primarily listen to dynamic playlists and music generated by MusicIP, either initial mixes or Sugarcube seeded from a single song. Lately, I've been looking for more of a mood music option (e.g. mellow, lively, etc.). I can do only so much with Dynamic Playlists (as far as I know) since the genre/year (my usual criteria) isn't enough of a qualifier in this instance. My idea was to use the playlist manager plugin to create playlists which and add tracks which I liked and fit into these categories "using the add to playlist... feature. Over time the list should be big enough that I could play these playlists in shuffled order and these would give me my moods. Has anyone else done anything similar or have a better way to do this? Also can playlists be saved as shuffle even if the regular system doesn't use this option? I rarely use conventional playlists or listen to albums, so in theory I could set this on the player/lms, but I'm unclear if this would mess up any of my existing functionality.

We have individual 'libraries' only because of the way iTunes works - where we have a main iTunes that has everything, and in another user an iTunes with just hat person's 'library' - since we have devices with different Apple accounts and couldn't find a better way to make that work.Tried sharing the iTunes library with multiple users, but didn't work well. erland wrote: > > If you have individual libraries, do you also have a need for shared > libraries which is common for multiple family members ? > > Do you have a need to keep track of playlists for each family member ? > More so that worrying about multiple 'libraries' - it's the playlists for each family member that is most important. erland wrote: > > Do you have a need to keep track of favorites for each family member ? > > Do you have a need to keep track of ratings and playback statistics for > each family member ? > Would be nice - since that is similar to the statistics on each device used to play music - and we can't keep that detail though the Squeezebox where it's just one set of stats. erland wrote: > > Does each family member have individual players which only one of the > family members mostly use ? > If so, should all players be controllable by everyone or do you want > access to certain players to be restricted ?

I want my music available everywhere. That's at home on the stereo with the Squeezebox 3, and on everyone's portable devices (2 iPhone's, one Android) in multiple places - in the house (either for iHome alarm clock dock, or just at home in a room away from others), in the car (would be great if it worked well in my car, and had a car-friendly display like some apps do with large text), and just anyplace away - at work, etc. AudioGalaxy was great when it existed at letting me access local music anywhere.Too bad it shut down.I sort of replaced it for 'away from home use' by using Amazon Cloud and uploading all music there (which yes, for 80-90,000 songs - too a long time) - but now music is available everyplace - but playlists on Amazon aren't the same as local - so that's not ideal. As far as organizing music - having the large 'family pool' of music that people can carve out their own playlists from is probably sufficient - but creating local 'libraries' that they then creating playlists out of might be better.Managing physically moving music to the devices would be nice - having to stream everything through the air like AudioGalaxy is nice for those of us with unlimited data, but not so much otherwise - so on one device, being able to have playlists on the phone using local music and have that playlist appear when we are using the Squeezebox would be better than we have now. It's the playlists that work everywhere that's key - and having local music available away. Amazon Cloud gives me the music - but not the 2-way playlist sync I'd like, and doesn't give me MusicIP or SmartMixes which I now use a lot. talvola's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.co

It will not complete the mysqueezebox.com registration, although it is showing up on mysqueezebox.com list of players. It keeps cycling through the enrollment process. If I choose the local server, it will play fine, although I noticed that it does not retain the information once I turn it off. I have tried a factory reset and a Xilinx reset. Any suggestions?

Re: [slim] What will happen to Squeezebox?
The UE Radio cannot be "downgraded" (some would say upgraded) to be a Squeezebox Radio, simply because the firmware doesn't allow this. From what I've read, it would be possible if Logitech decided to let it happen. Despite Logitech abandoning the line, the Squeeze platform is a long way from dead. There are several community projects on the go to keep it alive. there are a few very long threads on here about a new open hardware platform that some are working on, as well as a new OS and software. I've been out of the loop for a couple of year, but i get the feeling that exciting times are ahead again. funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98803 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I've used MOG and Spotify. Both work well and meet your standards (except I'm not sure about #4 as I'm the only user). For #3, not sure, but I can download spotify items to either my iphone or ipad, so I'm guessing this works as long as both devices are connected to same account. For Spotify to work on all but RADIO and TOUCH, you'll need Triode's 3rd Party Spotify Plugin. For MOG, the logitech app will work. I moved from MOG to Spotify because Spotify will work with Triode's plugin even if mysqueezebox.com went away. I found it very easy to sign up for both these services then cancel. Even going back to spotify was easy (old username still worked, I just had to turn billing back on).
