Re: [slim] Why shouldn't I jump ship to Sonos?
The only 'gotchas' I can think of which would prevent me personally from switching are ... 1. No multi tagging support (as mentioned by Mnyb in post #6). If you use multitagged artists, albumartists or genres, they won't work as you hope with Sonos 2. No support for the YEAR tag. Sonos does not support the YEAR tag, so if you like browsing by year you will lose that with Sonos 3. No 'New Music' option. Sonos does not have the equivalent of the Squeezebox 'New Music' menu option. In other words, you cannot quickly browse the latest 100 or so CDs added to your collection with Sonos. If none of the above apply to you, then by all means certainly consider making the switch. Sonos is a very good system afterall. Personally though, I would wait a while and see what the Squeezebox community come up with. Also the Olive One system looks promising. It may be worth waiting to see what that has to offer.

ajkidle wrote: This might be a question for the Sonos forums, but does anyone happen to know how Sonos deals with soundtracks or compilation albums? As an example, in the SB world I use Album Artist to group all of my soundtracks together, and then Artist to keep track of who is playing which song. Are you saying this will no longer work? I have to pick one or the other? No, that will continue to work with Sonos. What I was referring to is Squeezebox's support for multitagging within the ARTIST, ALBUMARTIST and GENRE tags. For example, if you owned a Travelling Wilbury's CD you could have the ARTIST tag set to Travelling Wilburys;Bob Dylan;Tom Petty;George Harrison. Squeezebox would parse that tag so that when you browsed your Artists, the Travelling Wilbury's CD would appear under Travelling Wilburys, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and George Harrison separately. Sonos does not support this multi tagging, so on a Sonos system the Travelling Wilbury's CD would appear under an Artist name of Travelling Wilburys;Bob Dylan;Tom Petty;George Harrison. Likewise, if you had a CD you considered to be in two genres, say Rock and Indie, you could set the GENRE tag to Rock;Indie and Squeezebox would show the CD under both genres. With Sonos, the CD would be listed in a genre called Rock;Indie Hope that explains it a bit better :-) GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98235 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

banned for life wrote: Does Sonos support remote streaming? BFl Not 'out of the box' so to speak. Sonos relies on UPnP broadcasts to locate devices on the network and as UPnP broadcasts only work on a single subnet you wouldn't be able to connect to another Sonos device in a remote location (as the broadcast packets wouldn't be forwarded). I think it is possible to use a VPN connection to 'extend' your local subnet to a remote location and get it to work that way, but you might be better off checking the Sonos forums for clarification on that.

Re: [slim] Hi-Res Files: A few questions
My first thought would be ... is the CPU in the Guruplug powerful enough to transcode 24/96 material to FLAC fast enough ? SB3s do not support 24/96 natively so any 24/96 material has to be transcoded to 16/48 FLAC by the server before sending it to the SB3. This takes a reasonable bit of CPU power and I am wondering whether the Guruplug's CPU is up to the job. I have no experience with Guruplugs, so I could be on the wrong track here. If you have access to a SB Touch (which does natively support 24/96) you could see if that can play OK. Alternatively, if you have a fairly decent PC (2Ghz processor or above), you could install Squeezeserver on that and see if the SB3 can play OK when connected to that. If it does, it would indicate the problem is with the Guruplug. -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88682 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Hard drive storage suggestions
Squeezecenter only recognizes one path to the music files so you cannot add a 2nd,3rd ... etc path. What you can do though is add a shortcut in your existing music folder that points to the music folder on any new disk you add. e.g If your existing music is held in C:\Music and your new disk (D:) also contains a music folder (D:\Music) then you need to create a shortcut in C:\Music that points to D:\Music. When Squeezecenter performs a scan for new music, it will then follow the shortcut and scan any music in D:\Music. If you are using a Linux based OS running Squuezecenter I imagine some sort of symbolic link would achieve the same thing. -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54110 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Perhaps if you post exactly what it is you are trying to achieve it may be possible to provide you with a better answer. At the moment, I am not exactly sure what you are asking :-) -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47443 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How can I change stream.mp3 location?
I have just fired up SqueezeCenter and I can now see what you mean :-) Interestingly enough the link to the SoftSqueeze download knows which computer and port SqueezeCenter is running on and would work from any machine if clicked on, but the link to the stream.mp3 does not and assumes localhost:9000. Personally I would say that is a minor bug. I don't know enough about the internal workings of SqueezeCenter to say whether or not changing the settings.txt is the going to cause any issues. Perhaps someone who knows more than I do will add their thoughts :-) Glad to hear you got it working though. -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47443 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezebox silent, but Softsqueeze ok
If you change the display on the Squeezebox so it shows the VU meters (analogue or digital) do they flicker indicating music is being received ? If so, it may be an issue with the cabling from the Squeezebox to the amplifier/powered speakers. Either that or the volume control is set way down :-) If they don't flicker it would indicate an issue with the Slimserver side of things. Unfortunately my knowledge of resolving Slimserver issues is sorely lacking so I can't offer any advice on that :-( -- GlenL GlenL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14364 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42037 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
