I got the feeling that most people didn't even want to consider having
multiple accounts for premium streaming services.
We haven't analyzed this part of the functionality in detail yet, the
real question here is how much we should focus on families. A single
user can only be at one place at the time so for a single user your use
case doesn't make sense, but for a family I understand that it makes
sense. In a family we obviously have the scenario that one family member
might want to play one kind of music in one room while another family
member might want to play different music in a another room
simultaneously.
In my mind, it might be possible that we consider to have some kind of
support for a family concept, where each family member have individual
ickStream accounts but they can configure that the playback resources
should be possible to share within the family. I suspect a solution like
this would solve your usage scenario at least partly. Each family member
would have their own ickStream and pandora account and they would be
able to output the music on any player in the house.
I'm less optimistic about having some kind of pool solution where you
can setup a pool of premium streaming accounts, for example three
Pandora accounts, and the system picks the first free account when
someone wants to stream Pandora music. I think such solution would
probably violate the user agreement some of the premium streaming
providers have and it will also result in that you loose all
personalization features the premium streaming provider offers you to
setup in their account.
None of this is of course a problem for premium streaming services that
allows multiple songs to be streamed simultaneously from the same
account, I'm not sure what kind of restrictions Pandora have in this
regard.

Yes we always plan to have just the carrier board available. You can do everything you mentioned right now with the wandboard as is, it comes with a USB host port that works with most USB DACs and the I2S pins are available on the IO connectors on the wandboard. JackOfAll is working on an I2S driver that will work with that. The one thing a DIY type might be missing is a way to get an external clock into the processor. The signals for this are on the module (which is one of the reasons for choosing the wandboard in the first place), BUT is not brought out to the IO connectors. The CSP1 carrier board WILL have the I2S and external clock signals on an internal connector. I'm not sure a separate board will be developed just for this purpose, we are getting some economies of scale here and producing a board that only a few people are going to want is going to wind up costing more than the full blown board with everything on it. If someone really wants the board without the DAC chips and headphone amp they can unsolder those parts. John S.

Re: [slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream Music Platform
In your other post you wrote: One limitation I still want to apply is that with one online streaming account you will still only be able to stream a single song to one device or to multiple devices synchronized, basically no possibility to play different songs to different devices simultaneously as this usually is prohibited by the streaming providers and won't change in the future. For example, if I have the following sources: Roku LT #1 tied to Pandora account #1 Roku LT #2 tied to Pandora account #2 squeezebox player #1 squeezebox player #2 that are connected to a board that allows selection of the input to route to one or both of two outputs, would ickstream allow for the proper control to integrate it all together with something similar to ipeng? I currently have a vortexbox, a couple of Rpi's running squeezeslave, and a bunch of amps to handle my 7 audio zones for my home. It's a pretty ugly setup. I'd like to replace it with less sources and less amplifiers, with the addition of a board that does analog switching at the input and maybe even relay switching at the output of the amps. It's all casual listening so audio quality isn't a concern. I just need to be able to listen to different music in two spots in my home at the same time and be able to play Pandora or something similar in those two spots at the same time from separate accounts. mweb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
That's not disabled it's just the colour of the icon, mine looks the same. The local search takes relatively longer because it's searching your local library, so searching for black will return songs with black in the title and songs by Black Sabbath etc etc Whereas global search will give categories to drill down so is comparatively much quicker as drilling down will narrow down the search query that needs to be done. I'm not sure I've explained that particularly clearly but hope that helps.

It was kind of a last minute observation before the release. I haven't
looked at it yet any deeper.
I'm not sure if I understand your "as an importer" question. What I have
done is:
- patched Audio-Scan-0.93 for DSF and DSDIFF support
- created plugin PlayDSD, most important (?) stuff below
Is it so that "Clear library and rescan everything" rescan is done with
external scanner and others with internal? And that makes a difference?
DSD.pm
Code:
package Plugins::PlayDSD::DSD;
use strict;
use base qw(Slim::Formats);
use Audio::Scan;
use Slim::Formats::MP3;
use Slim::Utils::Log;
sub getTag {
my $class = shift;
my $file = shift || return {};
my $s = Audio::Scan->scan( $file );
my $info = $s->{info};
my $tags = $s->{tags};
return unless $info->{song_length_ms};
$tags->{SIZE} = $info->{audio_size};
$tags->{SECS} = $info->{song_length_ms} / 1000;
$tags->{RATE} = $info->{samplerate};
$tags->{CHANNELS} = $info->{channels};
$tags->{SAMPLESIZE} = 1;
$tags->{LOSSLESS} = 1;
if ( $info->{tag_diar_artist} ) {
$tags->{ARTIST} = $info->{tag_diar_artist};
}
if ( $info->{tag_diti_title} ) {
$tags->{TITLE} = $info->{tag_diti_title};
}
if ( $info->{id3_version} ) {
$tags->{TAGVERSION} = $info->{id3_version};
Slim::Formats::MP3->doTagMapping($tags);
}
return $tags;
