Re: [slim] Single speaker for kitchen - advice needed

2016-04-20 Thread pablolie

Score a Boom! it is a great sounding system if you are bought into the
SB ecosystem. (The Radio is not, sounds awful in comparison).

if you start from scratch there are many offerings that sound good. i
LOVE our ecosystem, but i would not recommend it to mainstream customers
these days. :-(

Hi Fred, 

I'm afraid the answer to your bluetooth question is indeed, that this is
not possible.



Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all
your music to your Android device. Take your music everywhere!
Remote Control + Streaming to your iPad? *'Squeezebox + iPad =

Stefan, I hope you can help, as I am having no luck thus far.

I have BOTH emedded and Local Art in each Album Folder in my Music
Library.

The embedded art is of low/old resolution, the Local Art (Folder.jpg) is
much Higher/Newer Resolution.

Is there a way to CHANGE the order how Art work is picked up, First
Local Art Work, Second Embedded Art Work?

If so, I would be very grateful to know

And the Second question is a bit wonky.

I have a Raspbery Pi running LMS (Max2Play)

Currently for SqueezePad to control the LMS running on the Pi, BOTH need
to be using the same Wifi.

Is it possible to use Bluetooth as the transport mechanism to "control"
the LMS via SqueezePad.

I know the answer most likely is "no" but I have so many scenarios were
I bring the Pi to locations WITHOUT Wifi and this would help me
tremendously if a Bluetooth was an option.

Just thought I'd ask and LOVE my Squeezepad.

Hi there,

Another option could be a Jungo speaker - I have just purchased a Jungo
S3 spearker and it works with the UpnpBridge plugin. Was discovered by
the plugin without a lot of fuzz.
After a quick test the speaker seems to quite a good bargain. Build
quality seems good, nice size, and the sound is for sure OK as a kitchen
speaker or for ambient music.

Gives the same control option as the other players - just not sync.

Martin
