Re: [slim] BBC online radio fiasco - comments, news, moans, campaigns
Like lots of others I have been very confused by all this. While my original BBC4 saved Favorite did stop working with a lovely repeated message that this shoutcast styream has been discontinued or some such, I did find another stream which did work, but only sort of. On my Recievers it continually stuttered and rebuffered, on my Radio it worked better. However as of this morning live BBC4 is now streaming flawlessly again on both Radio and Reciever, so far, crossed fingers, I am using this stream : BBC Radio 4 93.5 (National News) with this url : http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s25419formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoicepartnerId=16serial=69ce8c6fb92d63334a07f7acae44d563 Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103311 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Syncronising multiple copies of my music
I have 2 Windows 7 PCs plus a Vortexbox holding my music and running SBS in 2 locations. I also have my music files backed up on 2 USB drives. What is the easiest way to keep all the files syncronised? Copying new music to all the locations is simple enough but I get myself a bit mixed up when I have an MP3Tag tagging session, and I would like to have a simple way of replicating my changes across all my copies. Any suggestions? -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91103 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Auto starting SBS and squeezeplay
Thanks pski, just what I wanted. As an aside it makes we wonder why SbS does not come with a Player as standard. I would have thought it would be a reasonable common requirement to play audio from the PC you run SbS on, controlling output from the web interface. When I purchased my Vortexbox (VBA) it came with an integral player. -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Auto starting SBS and squeezeplay
Not sure what you mean by Windows Services. I am starting SbS by having Startup at Logon selected in the Control Panel. I am starting squeezeplay by having a shortcut to in the Startup folder. Somehow I just want to delay the startup of Squeezeplay by a minute or so. -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Auto starting SBS and squeezeplay
Just been setting things up in my second/holiday home. I normally use 2 Duets, but here I have the PC running SBS right by my audio so I have been trying out Squeezeplay. I want to be able to just power up the PC and then be able to select music from the Controller as soon as it is up and running. To achieve this I have got both SBS and squeezeplay auto starting. The problem is that squeezeplay gets up and running sooner than SBS, and being unable to find a server does not connect. When SBS is up and running later I have to frig around with the controller to get the player connected. If however I manually start squeezeplay after SBS is started it just works. So the question is can I delay the auto start of squeezeplay until SBS is up? -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87245 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] VortexBox 1.4 released today
Vortexbox is a Linux based operating system that you can download free and run on any old PC that you have making it a dedicated music server. It incorporates SBS. A Vortexbox device is a low power PC that comes preloaded with Vortexbox operating system. I have one, it works great, I just leave it on 24/7 If you want more info go to the Vortexbox Website -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79414 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] powered speakers
Another vote for the Aego M from me. They are excellent value for money at about £100. See all the reviews here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-000-AEtool=3 Quad do some at about £500 a pair if you want proper audiophile quality http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/3859 But the Aego Ms are good enough for me. -- Nojelc Nojelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14353 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63773 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
