Re: [slim] Adding a Wiim Mini to your LMS system
OK, just tested the Airplay bridge->WiiM Mini. Works OK, except no album art displayed. Album art displays fine with UPnP, and of course, UPnP will work up to the 24/192 limit of the WiiM. I think the only thing I had to configure for UPnP with the WiiM was to turn gapless off, as it would quit at the end of every song with it enabled. 39178 +---+ |Filename: Screenshot 2022-11-20 1.56.50 PM.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39178| +---+ piTouch w/JustBoom DigiHat -> RME ADI-2 DAC FS -> JBL 305P MkII monitors; LMS 8.2 on piCorePlayer/Pi 4; Material Skin. chicks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116444 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Suggestions for Squeezebox player replacement for a non-techie longtime SB user
I appreciate the Airplay caution. I took a quick look around and didn't immediately find any non-Airplay2 devices for sale online. With the Wiim Mini, would the steps be as simple as plugging it in, downloading and activating in LMS the UPNP bridge? Thanks for the help, this thread will remain an easily available reference for me when needed. Hopefully not too soon. ;-) Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117101 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Darko Audio's recent video tribute to the Squeezebox (GOAT)
Don't know if it gets mentioned often, but the rechargeable Duet Controller had a Beta headphones out feature, which was a very early way of pottering round the house or sitting in the garden listening to music via LMS!

Re: [slim] Darko Audio's recent video tribute to the Squeezebox (GOAT)
... no doubt in my mind. My system remains complete stable after all these years (I think I got my first SB3 in 2005 or even 2004). Love the fact it's never support for anything that matters to me: it has a great user interface, offer awesome manual control of the music library... it perfectly surround my pretty capable audio system with everything required to build digital convenience and outsource anything else to the DAC and beyond. I'll give you a powerful example, IMO: in 2015 or so, I installed a very easy to use NAD D7050 digital integrated amp. Perfect for those who want a simple interface to music and simply control from their phone, with Spotify build-in... until NAD pulled support for the app and for Spotify. Let's face it audio vendors expertise isn't software and hence integrating into a streaming app, because they'll discontinue support after a few years. It's a story that repeats itself again and again: a streaming service changes their API some, and unless the audio vendor commits resources (and probably those resources are dedicated to their existing and future products), you're left out in the cold. The solution? I installed LMS running on an ancient Lenovo X61 that runs Linux, picked up an SB3 from one of my moving boxes (I keep Squeezebox extras :-D)... and off you go. Spotify now runs without a hitch (thanks Mr Herger!). Synchronization is one very neat thing the video seems to omit. The SB3, Touch and Boom remain my fav products. My experience with the Duet was horrific, the Controller and Receiver regularly stopped talking and one had to reset them with a weird procedure and re-boot them etc. I replaced it in the Bedroom system pronto with an SB3. :-) Back then I had 6 active SBoxen throughout the house that played in perfect synchrony, which back then amazed people. :-) On latest count, I converted over 20 friends or acquaintances to the SB system. ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.2.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Touch-> NAD D7050 -> KEF LS50 + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117071 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
