Hello, I suppose you found the answer since your post, but just for the next readers: the answer is you have to set the volume in the player application, not on your phone, otherwise it will go back to the previous setting.

Re: [slim] Transporter heat
Thanks for the answers That's seems logical to be a little hot then. It's because the transporter in my house is in a quite completely closed cabinet so I wouldn't want it to be inappropriately hot. Moreover, the case has no apertures on the side, as far as I saw. That's fine then, Thanks !

[slim] Transporter heat
Hi all, I recently bought a "new" (never used) transporter on eBay and I'm a little bit surprised because it heats up a little bit in stand by mode. I mean, it's not really hot, it's just a little bit warm, as my other gears stay always cold when not in use. Is it usual ? Thanks !

toby10 wrote: > > It's dead as a viable consumer product offering. Well, I am not sure. I don't know much these products, but SONOS is sold everywhere and Bose have also a similar (?) product line. Anyway, people say they're very easy to use, which is not the case with LMS. LMS is too complicated for old people and also for most of the young people. They have their phone, a bluetooth connection and a speaker and that's enough. LMS would have to be easier to use if logitech wanted to start selling it again. The problem also IMO is that logitech wouldn't be satisfied with a few thousands sales. when they sell a product, they want to sell it by millions (that's only my feeling), like the boom speakers and other products. I'm also quite happy with the current status quo, because I'm very happy with what I have and Logitech is letting us "playing with our toys". I see two big clouds with that status quo : first, I love the old logitech squeeze products, they have a very good design, wonderful ergonomics and of course terrific sound for the price. I recently bought a new (!) squeeze radio on amazon market place and would buy a touch or a transporter if I could. I didn't found similar products on the market that could work as nicely with LMS. Fortunately all my squeezebox devices are still working! Second problem is that LMS rely only on Michael H and the main plug-ins on a few developers. Some developers apparently have "left the boat", as Triode, and some doesn't give news for a moment (Erland, some others ?). If they all leave, that will really be difficult for us to stay with LMS. I think Logitech could, and maybe should, launch another product line as squeezeboxes devices, but I don't think they will, unless they change their marketing strategy, which is to sell small devices, easy to use, not too expensive, for the young.

[slim] Squeezebox touch or external DAC ?
Hi everyone, I currently have a squeezebox 3 that I use for something like 10 years now. I'm very happy with it, the LMS with all the fantastic plugins : trakstat, musicip, irblaster, and so on. It works ok so far but I would look for a better sound, it's notably better when I play the same music from the CD player, and also I'm a bit afraid that if my squeezebox comes to stop working, I would be very upset. I was thinking about buying the squeezebox touch, there are still some to sell, it's about 800 euros on amazon, that's not little, but I would then have a brand new squeezebox that looks nicer, it can play 24 Bit/96khz music files, and have a better dac than the squeezebox 3. Alternatively, I could keep my squeezebox 3, buy a good external DAC not too expensive, like http://www.whathifi.com/review/arcam-irdac, connected with the optical, and maybe I would have a better sound than with the touch. I have a quite good (though not audiophile) Denon hi-fi amplifier with Audio Reference floorstanding speakers. They're quite old, something like 20 years and costed me at that time about 300 euros for the amplifier and 600 for the speakers. I'm not thinking to replace them at the moment, because of the money and also I like the old style they have. What do you think ? better buy the touch before they're totally sold out and then eventually by an external DAC later, or go for a better dac now ?

(... same 2 lines several times) I installed DBD::SQLite using cpan. I also installed many perl things using either the package management software or cpan, but It still doesn't work so I think I'm not going in the right direction. I know nothing about perl. Before 7.7.3, I was using 7.8 from http://www.jamesarbrown.com/?p=186 because of perl version problem with 7.7.2, but I've another system to migrate to mageia 3 and I'd rather use official package. Before that I was using 7.7.2 with mageia 2, using perl 5.14. I mention this is the the first time I've a problem with the regular LMS packages, so I suppose there is a difference on how this last version installs itself or with my linux.

Re: [slim] Announce: New Squeezeslave 0.9 Release available on sourceforge
Hi, Sound stutters with squeezeslave. I downloaded the last version on the svn and compiled it without problem. I have a eeepc 702 with hda-intel sound chip. The stuttering is not very important, but enough to be quite anoying. I'm using mandriva linux with xfce. It uses pulseaudio. Without any option, squeeslave uses a lot of cpu (around 60%), wich is a lot even on my very slow cpu. So I tried the different devices. squeezeslave -L Output devices: 0: HDA Intel: ALC662 rev1 Analog (hw:0,0) 1: front 2: surround40 3: surround51 4: surround71 5: pulse 6: dmix * 7: default 8: /dev/dsp and the best so far is 0. With that device set, it uses only 4% to 9% of cpu. Using dmix causes a crash at startup and pulse makes no difference with default. Squeezeslave is not the only one player to stutter on my pc. VLC has the same problem, but totem gives a perfect sound. Anyway, I have all my stats on squeezeboxserver and I like this program, so i'd rather use squeezeslave. I've googled a lot and didn't found a solution.
