Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
Just wanted to give some positive for the latest OS preview: I love the UI updates! New 'Now Playing' display and the three-dot context menus are very useful. I started to like the UI of Google Play Music very much, because it is very simple and intuitive. But the Orange Squeeze UI ist getting closer again. :-) Thanks! 2093 Alben mit 25'736 Titeln von 1881 Interpreten.

banned for life wrote: Ratings? Why Ratings? Yours? I only have a couple of thousand CD's but I know what I like.. My ratings. This is the most simple way of telling LMS which tracks I like. Track ratings allow using dynamic playlists to play my favourite music. When rating are displayed, I know which tracks I already rated (or not) and I can remember better which tracks I like without having to prelisten them when selecting to play them manually. Maybe my brains are not as perfect as yours, but I don't always remember the titles of my thousands of tracks I like(d)... For those with perfect brains and those not using ratings I suggested to have track ratings displayed optionally.

Re: [slim] ANN: Orange Squeeze 1.3.0 released!
Frequently I'm using Squeeze Commander because it displays track ratings in the 'now playing' screen. The stars are touchable to change the rating. I found out that in Orange Squeeze, ratings can be changed in the pop-up list of the cover art. But this is too complicated and too well hidden for my listening behaviour... I would appreciate having the song rating displayed either in the playlist(s) and/or the 'no playing' screen...

Re: [slim] Now the Squeezebox is dead, what would your next system be? And why?
GeeJay wrote: It would have to retain the ability to run random playlists based on a variety of factors, such as genres, years, ratings, etc. I would have to be able to control it with a full functioning remote or iPhone app such as iPeng. ReplayGain support and cross fade are important as well (I haven't checked yet to see if these exist on the UE platform). [...] I would like to have a rating functionality in the control device (as Trackstat allows in LMS while playing a song). Everything else you mentioned seems to be feasible on DLNA-based setups with a decent UPNP/DLNA server (dynamic folders as in Twonky or Asset) and some control software available for Android or IOS platforms. Right now, I am looking into LINN hardware for highend-rendering (to replace my Transporter and preamp) and into a simple DLNA capable radio to replace my Boom. What I did not yet find in the LINN ecosystem is the rating functionality while playing a song for any of the control applications (besides the server based music library management applications).

Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
When thinking about missing features, new hardware devices came to my mind first. But besides the missing devices, a decent integrated library management is missing, too. Music playing functionality should not be separated from music management functionality. Playing music with LMS, ripping and managing the library with additional aplications (dbpoweramp, itunes, mediamonky, ...) is fun for the experienced user, but it's a pain for the normal user. I expect LMS to have an integrated library management functionaly to rip/add/buy music, manage metadata (using external metadata sources) and seamlessly include music from cloud/streaming services as if they were stored locally.

reniera;664494 Wrote: A resolution to this would be Logitech take a couple of hours to integrate a copy of trackstat in the original product. The trackstat functionality should definitely be part of LMS! I think this would differentiate it from the competition. The competition (iTunes, Monkey, etc.) all have an 'intelligent' playlist feature, which SBS or LMS don't have. So this functionality schould be supplied by Logitech, too... $40 for these two feature is pricey but I decided to support erland with some cash for his valuable work. -- Meridion 1750 Alben mit 21559 Titel von 1706 Interpreten.

I had the same issue (Ubuntu 10.10), which appeared with the 7.5.3 upgrade. Maybe my wheater-plugin, which tried to poll wunderground.com without success, caused the problem.
