Re: [slim] You learn something new everyday
Yes replay gain tags only teaks the volume at playback . But never at a positive values because of clipping so there is a target volume lets say -10dB ( the exact value is probably something else ) so the rg tags is an offset to reach the target volume usually negative . Really well recorded stuff can have a small positive values . But I suppose a reallly large positive value trips up the algorithm so it does not dare to raise the volume to much as clipping may occur . Or also likely the volume was so very low that you needed more than 100% gain 0db at playback to match the other tracks . The player can not provide more than full volume .

Normalisation is the application of linear amplification so as to bring the peak level to a defined value (usually, but not necessarily, 0db). It most definitely does not affect the dynamics. My advice to the OP is to go ahead and normalise his Bob Marley needle drop, and then recalculate the replay gain values.

Re: [slim] Feature Request : Random Seed
Using the Preset Editor you can assign a favourite/track/radio station/playlist to an SB IR remote number button. *Boom/SB3/Transporter and similar players: * To start playing a preset from the IR remote, press and hold the desired button until you see (e.g.) *Preset #8 (Hold to save)*, release the button and briefly press it again, the assigned favourite/track/radio station/playlist should start playing. *Touch/Radio: * Settings > Advanced > Beta Features > Shortcuts > scroll down to *IR Hold 1* right arrow > scroll down to *Play Preset 1* > right arrow. Repeat above for all IR number buttons you wish to use. To play a preset defined in the Preset Editor, press and hold (2 secs) the corresponding number button on the remote. NB On the Touch and Radio although there are IR Hold *0-9*, there are only Play preset *1-6*, so you can only actually use remote buttons 1-6 as presets.

Re: [slim] Stream from mobile Device (Apple) to LMS and distribute to Players
1) Works fine even without the group player plugin. Just airplay stream to one device, sync this device to others in LMS Webinterface/iPeng and there you go :) cramcram's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22906 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110079 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Feature Request : Random Seed
I think this is worth announcing as otherwise it will slip under the radar Yeah... but then a minor release should not come with new features. People might ask why I didn't move to 7.10.0 instead :-). -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Feature Request : Random Seed
When I got my first squeezebox in 2006 (a SlimDevices SB3 with the IR remote with number buttons), you could make any track, radio station, etc. a *favourite* and assign it to an IR remote number button. I'm sure many of the old-timers here will remember this? Wow... I at first didn't. Then I was wondering why the heck we removed this feature. And now I remember: these presets then were global, not per device. With Boom's buttons we moved to the per-device model, but never did a GUI to configure them. "It must be as easy as setting a station on your car radio!" was the paradigm then. But you need to have a rather old car nowadays to remember those radios... -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Does > anybody know where to get this? IIRC The plugin is provided as part of the LMS set of 3rd party plugins. It is still available unless VB 2.4 does something odd. WaveInput Plugin is a last resort and often not a very satisfactory solution. Audio quality may be compromised (two conversions) and very dependent on line-in hardware. Also there can be a delay due to buffering and recompressing into Flac which varies according to system and if it is a few seconds - some find intolerable. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110079 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
