Re: [slim] General question(s) on Rhapsody
The Rhapsody to Go tracks will last for 30 days on your portable MP3 player before they expire. The timer is reset whenever you reconnect the player to your computer with the Rhapsody player application running. I've been using Rhapsody to Go with a Sandisk e280 for about a year now. It works very well, and I'm listening to much more music now than I ever have before. The sound is great, although I'm using "in-the-ear" headphones from Sony that sound much better than the ones that came with the unit (although they weren't expensive ~ $35). The Rhapsody to go account also let's you listen to Rhapsody via Squeezeboxs. I listen to Rhapsody at home through Squeezenetwork using SB Duet with two Receivers connected to two different audio systems and it's surprising how good it sounds (to my 50 yr old ears anyway...). -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52337 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Controller Display Problem?
I've had a Duet since March and over the last several weeks, I've started seeing a 1/4 inch white line on the lower left bottom edge of the screen. It's there in all menus, all the time, but it's not there during the start up screens or during a screen selftest. Does anyone else see this or is this perhaps a hardware problem with my controller? -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52367 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Best bang for buck with Music Services
Rhapsody is an undescribable feast for music lovers and an excellent value. I agree with kh6idf, if you like music, once you try it for 30 days you won't be able to stop. The other feature I love, is with the To Go Account, you can load your MP3 player for when your not at home. It's not without its problems though. It periodically glitches when playing on the Duet and more frequently than you'd like, their servers go down. But the pluses far outweigh the minuses in my opinion... -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Best bang for buck with Music Services
Yes, there have been problems with Rhapsody, mostly connection problems due to their servers going down and the way they process accounts- I think. I also have a Pandora account that is much cheaper ($3 vs $15 per month), it's much more reliable, and I like it's ability to zero in on what you like for music. But, I just really like having access to all of the music directly (like listening to an album...), and the ability to load it into my MP3 player. So, I would say that if you want to have just one music service with very high reliability, and very low cost, Rhapsody isn't there yet. But it still has so much going for it that I'm willing to put up with the problems for now, and hope that they'll become more stable over time... -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Rhapsody's working prety well
I listen to Rhapsody a lot (practically every day) via two Duet receivers and a Boom, and have recently noticed that I can't remember the last time I've had trouble with wierd behavior, dropouts, or hangs. This has been the case with both squeezecenter 7.3.4, and now more recenty with 7.4. Thanks to everyone at Squeezebox for improving the Rhapsody experience... it's been a real joy lately. By the way, the Duet graphics with 7.4 are really cool... -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68308 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Is the latest 7.4 beta close enough?
I've been using 7.4 for about a week and it seems to work very well. I had to sign back up for the services via the controller as the mysqueezebox page wasn't working properly, but other than that I haven't had major problems. Also, in general, I like the changes to the controller operation and appearance quite a lot compared to the older versions. It's more intuitive to use and looks much more polished. I don't think it looks drab or ugly at all. -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68351 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Volume Sync of Multiple Players?
Does anyone know the latest state of the ability to synchronize volume control between multiple players? I'm using 7.4, and have poked around a bit but haven't found anything that looks like volume sync. It would be great to be able to control the volume of all synced players together at once. Is it a feature or planned future feature?

Re: [slim] Volume Sync of Multiple Players?
I tried the volume sync feature, and it's OK, but I was expecting something more like what Sonos demonstrates on one of their web site videos. There, you can adjust a master volume control and all of the receiver's volumes are adjusted up and down from where they are originally set. Instead, the current sync volume feature sets the receiver volumes to the same setting, which is then adjusted up and down. This results in one or the other receiver being too loud or soft (e.g. Boom vs SBR connected to stereo). Is there any plan to convert the receiver volume sync to something more like what I described above? Or is there a third party plug-in out there somewhere? -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Volume rises very slowly since upgrade
Yes, there was a bug that was referenced in another thread where the controller slowed down as a function of how long it is on due to some SW problem. The scrolling is also affected. This was fixed about last week in 7.4.1. I've been running 7.4.1, and the problem is indeed fixed, and it seems to be pretty stable overall. A way to test if this is your problem is to cycle power on the controller. If the volume responds normally after the restart, then switching to 7.4.1 will fix your problem. -- Mark W Mark W's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69612 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
