[slim] Volume goes up & down without stopping Squeezebox Classic
My Squeezebox Classic volume is controlled by its own remote. Just today if I press the volume control and release, let's say down, the volume goes all the way to zero by itself. If I press the volume control up and release, the volume goes all the way to 100 all by itself. It is only by luck that I can stop this after about 10 button presses with volume staying at some random figure. I have tried unplugging unit, the pressing "+" button technique and the "1" technique. The screen just flies through all the settings by itself. Maddening! Any suggestions to stop this weird behavior? iMac Sierra 10.12.2 Thank you. PS Although I have 3 Classics, 1 Touch, 1 Radio and 1 Transporter, I am still not that technical so please be kind on the instructions... sflen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106784 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] TIDAL/MQA is 2016
Hi Everyone, I use a Mytek Brooklyn with built-in MQA decoding. I was hoping that the Tidal plugin would pass-through but it won't. MQA data is typically 48/24, but the DAC says it's still getting 44/16 streaming MQA from Tidal. I'm wondering if there is a simple fix? The plugin does not need to decode MQA, just pass it along like any other PCM stream. Ideas?

Re: [slim] A Final Goodbye and thanks to this amazing community
thanks to those that think the thread is helpful. Arniceous, much of what you said originally was misleading and that's the annoying part. Sonos isn't an open source product like LMS but it's also not a closed product like itunes or Apple products. It's not an Apple product and it really doesn't operate as an Apple type product. It's pretty robust in what it offers and it isn't restrictive in my mind at all. For me, I needed a product that consistently works with streaming services. I also wanted to steer away from the endless tweaking and maintenance that my LMS system required. If LMS had easily co-existed with Spotify on my system I wouldn't have switched. I've dealt with digital music servers for long enough to realize that there'll always be some technical issues but at least for now I have a multi-room system that works well and without dropouts and to me that's priceless. exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

IMO, Roon is what the Squeezebox > environment should have evolved into. Yes, the roon development team interactions with users is very much like the early days of Squeezeboxes, where the developers were active participants in the forums, etc.And the roon metadata experience (which is very impressive, and more than just metadata, i.e., connections across things) seems to me to be exactly the sort of thing that erland and colleagues were trying to get to in the LMS environment (recall all the surveys they had a few years ago about how we interacted with our music collections). I've used roon, I've used SONOS. Sonos was a non-starter even beyond not handling my library size. It's interface and what it can and can't do was just too limited coming from LMS and its rich interface with plugins. But I can understand how its plug and play works nicely for the average consumer, particularly if all they do is stream online services. Roon on the other hand is very impressive, not limited in the same way, can deal with perfect sync multi room players, etc. Very nice. But it can only work with the TIDAL streaming and doesn't have things like podcast apps, or other services or a radio service other than enter a manual URL. Is it worth the $$$. Maybe, maybe not. That depends on the user. I don't find it overpriced for what it does, but I spent more for dinner and wine last night than a year's membership, so its all relative. I'm still a very happy user of LMS and plan to be for a long time, but I could easily see how Roon could be a supplement or replacement should LMS die. p.s.

There is no requirement to buy a NAS or Mac Mini. You can use whatever you're using for LMS and wherever your music is currently stored - Mac or PC. Well, if you're using Linux, that may not be true yet for Roon but soon will be. The Roon attraction over LMS is simply that it is a far more elegant way to manage your music plus Roon provides substantial metadata that most users will simply not have embedded in their music files. Roon Labs is also very proactive in their customer/community support and the evolution of their product. Hey, I've used LMS since the early SlimDevices days and have always been a big fan.

Hi HiFi friends, I was attracted to the Roon hype, looked into it and got confused. I know that the HiFi world is a matter of taste and preferences, and the argumentation for whatever equipment or software does not have to be based on pure cold logic :) However, did I get this right, that Roon wants me to pay them ~500 bucks and to buy a 500 bucks NAS / Mac Mini in order to allow myself to listen to my own music, which I can do anyways today? Hmmm ... If I look at apps like Synology native DS Video (as an example, not as an alternative to Roon!) - which gives you a Roon-like augmented experience of your own video media (ratings, reviews, info on artists, pics, trailers, ...) with multi-device support - the price (zero, subsidized with hardware) is much more realistic. And one last word on "lifetime" pricing: it is their lifetime, not yours :) I understand this is a premium service, but dear Roon managers: you need to find new financing models for this, to make it more attractive to customers.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
I've emailed the support address, but thought I'd post here in case anyone else is interested or knows the answer. I'm a very happy squeezeplayer user, but I'm wondering if it uses the android audio system for USB output (hence upsampling), or does a bitperfect output (like USB Audio Player Pro). I'm currently using UAPP for Tidal flac streaming, but would rather use Orangesqueeze with Squeezeplayer for the nicer UI. steves999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63486 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
