[slim] I built an in-wall cabinet for my Squeezebox
Well our master bathroom remodel is finally coming to a conclusion, more then 4 months in the making. It has a floor to ceiling steam shower, whirlpool tub and mood lighting so I needed to add another Squeezebox to play our tunes. Here are some pictures of the squeezebox cabinet. It fits inside the wall and has room for 3 remotes. I have a hardwired SB3, I didn't want to mess with wireless issues. The rest of the systems consists of a single dual tweeter dual voice coil Boston Acoustics DSI465T2. It's a nice sounding speaker that can play both channels from a single speaker. I decided to go with this because mounting two speakers didn't make sense in the bath. The system is powered by an AudioSource Amp200, 80 watts per channel probably overkill. I choose it because it has an auto on feature when it detects and input signal. Its mounted on top of the cabinet in the last picture. The room isn't finished, still needs painting and a long list of odds and ends.

[slim] Help mounting a SB3 into a wall
We are in the mist of redoing our master bath. I want to install a SB3 in the wall. The unit looks like it is slim enough to fit with a 2x4 stud but I am concerned about how to finish it off. Is there a way to build a trim piece that would go around the bends of the sb and provide a casing for sheetrock. I suspect this is done all the time for custom car installs. thanks Ken -- Kenr ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Flac converstion questions
I am thinking about bulk converting my wma collection to flac using dBpowerAMP. I am a little confused about the flac compression option. The original wma file is 29.7 MB. FLAC with 0 compression converts to 33.3 MB and with the 8 compression setting the file is 30.3 MB. Which compress option shoud I choose? I thought FLAC was supposed to compress better then wma but it appears that the wma file is a little smaller. thanks -- Kenr ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

street_samurai Wrote: Hi, According to some other threads Flac does not compress better than Windows Lossless. I have never tested the theory myself so I couldn't say. Really when you are talking about many files with such huge sizes, a few kb here or there isn't going to make much of a difference anyway. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16867highlight=flac+windows+lossless As far as Flac compression options, do whatever you feel is best. Almost everyone that uses flac tends to use settings from 4-6 because higher settings vastly increase the encoding time and show a very poor rate-of-return in terms of file size. Hope this helps, ss. Thanks, I ran a few tests and 7 or 8 are very slow. The difference in encoding time from 3 to 6 is 21x to 18x not a big deal. 4 sound like a good compression to use. -- Kenr ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
