Re: [slim] How does Receiver SQ compare some of the newer h/w options eg. HiFiBerry ?
I was previously using a V3 in the kitchen, which was sat on top of the kitchen units. I've replaced this with a Duet and moved the V3 (I won't call it a "Classic" as it's a Slim rather than Logitech branded unit) into the living room - after giving it a thorough cleaning to get rid of the grease that's built up on it! :D This player feeds a set of A-Part coaxial ceiling speakers via the analogue outputs. It does actually sound a bit better than the Squeezebox V3. My bathroom system uses the same setup as the original kitchen one, with a V3. I replaced the V3 with a Duet in the kitchen mainly to avoid the grease issues. I'd say that both the V3 and Duet are comparable to a good budget CD player via the analogue outs. The living room system uses the digital output from a V3 into an Arcam AV receiver powering Monitor Audio RX6s, so this is basically audiophile quality. The master bedroom has a V3 feeding a Yamaha DSP-AX620 AV receiver with Gale 4 speakers. This is a good mid-range system. Short version - if you're using the SPDIF output there's no difference between the different players. With analogue they'll compare favourably with a £200-ish CD player.

[slim] Squeezebox 3 replacement PSU
So the PSU died on one of my Squeezeboxen. It's a Slim V3 wired-only, pre-Logitech. Have tracked down a replacement which does the job just fine: http://cpc.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=15002&langId=69&urlRequestType=Base&partNumber=PW02929&storeId=10180 Total cost £5.66 with the VAT, free delivery. (I have a trade account with CPC/Farnell so the free delivery may not be universal.) This unit is 1000mA rather than the original which was 2000mA, however as this Squeezebox is wired-only it should be more than adequate (the wi-fi card is a big power drain). It's been on for the last couple of hours and it's not getting anything more than slightly warm. Just thought I'd let people know in case anyone else has the same issue.

Been following this thread since the beginning.

Keep up the good work. I, too, would be willing to be a .5 version tester if you need another body. In the past I was Project Manager, developer (mostly BAL Assembler), have built a couple of houses, rescued cars from sitting in fields, built stereos...you name it.

I run my LMS on a Windows 7 box. Squeezebox things are working well, but I can't image music without something like them. Again, keep up the good work, and if I can helpI'll try my best.

Re: [slim] SN finds SB2, SC doesn't
Thank you, Mark. Disabling the server's firewall does not change the behavior, SC still reports that the player cannot be found. I'm not certain what you mean by trying to connect to SC "while [I'm] on SN." I can report that SC cannot see the player whether or not my browser has http://www.squeezenetwork.com/ open. Going through the network setup on the player: the music source setting specifies the correct IP address for the server. When I then hit the right arrow, it displays "Connecting to Squeezecenter . . . " sits there for a while, then "Now Playing" displays. However, now when I right-click on the Squeezecenter application and select "Open Squeezecenter," nothing happens. It used to open a new browser window, but not now. That looks to be a different problem which I'll try to sort out then come back to this issue.

Re: [slim] Just curious: when/why did you get your first Slim/Logitech player?
I have a very similar story just slightly different ;) It all started for me somewhere around 2000, I think. The CD player in my car took a dump and rather than ripe up the dash or spend the cash to replace the trunk unit I purchased an Archos 2000. I then started ripping my music collection to MP3's and then happily transmitted an FM signal from the Archos to the car's radio. Then, in 2002, we built a new house and I wired it for central stereo and wired network. It was then I started looking for some network player that I could interface into the house system. For years it was just lusting around the Net drooling because all our cash had gone into the house. Somewhere around 2004 I was pretty firm on getting a Roku but just as I was about to make a purchase Slim announced the SB2. The wired version and open source, I'm a geek afterall, made the decision a no-brainer. I then set out on a mission to convert to FLAC with the addition of replay gain. We've impressed many visitors with our whole-house stereo that "never needs the music changed", however, the prospect of the Boom (& a necessitated wireless network for everyone's laptop/iPhone) new areas now have the possibility of music (my workshop and garage). I still haven't dusted off the credit card yet, but a Boom is definitely on my Christmas list. My music life was changed forever and continues to get better and better!

Besides it being risky, you'll have to make the same correction, which will be boring and labor intensive, every time you do a rescan.

Re: [slim] Can I create playlists within SC without a SB?
Sounds like you're on the right road, but have you installed SoftSqueeze? I think you have to have a player attached for the right panel to perform correctly. So, if you haven't already, open up Softsqueeze and get it started playing some music. Building a playlist can be done from either the Web UI, SoftSqueeze, the SB3 remote (when you get it), or even a Controller (which neither of us have...yet). My preference is to use the Fishbone Skin in the Web UI and build my playlists there, but try a couple of different ways to find your favorite.

Re: [slim] Can I create playlists within SC without a SB?
Welcome aboard Brandon! It's great that you're working head before getting your SB3. Yes, you can create playlists without the physical unit. After installing SC did you scan your music directory? If not, that's something you need to do. Then I recommend that you load Softsqueeze and play around with your lists there. (SoftSqueeze is downloaded from the Help portion of SC.)

A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42805 Question: Would you buy a Slim Devices/Logitech branded amp? - YES! - NO! I'd vote no for a separate amp. However... A Squeezebox with a reasonably powerful (40-60W RMS) built-in amplifier would be a goer. Especially if one was made in a form factor that would fit on a dual-gang electrical outlet plate with all the connections (power, wired LAN and speakers) concealed at the rear. Would obviously need a deep back-box but one of these could mount on the wall in my kitchen and have the speakers powered directly from it. A "boom-box" type device (wireless, internal amp and speakers, possibly with an internal rechargable battery) would also be a goer. Other things I'd like to see - and I'm sure there's a demand for it: A 17" hi-fi sized Squeezebox with a display and front panel controls. Doesn't need the dual displays or the fancy knob and DAC of the Transporter, just standard SB3 functionality with buttons on the front to control it if you can't find the remote. Someone mentioned a Squeezebox chip (probably implemented by incorporating a SlimServer/SqueezeCentre client into the controller of an AV receiver) to be used into other hi-fi components. This would be a work of genius as this would provide network audio functionality to "proper" hi-fi and AV. Currently I'm using a Turtle Beach Audiotron to stream audio to my hi-fi downstairs (Arcam AVR-250 and upstairs (Yamaha DSP-AX620) through the digital out. I'd rather use a Squeezebox but can't get one in a form factor that won't look a bit out of place in the kit rack. I suppose a SB2 could sit on top of the Sky+ box under the telly with a long Toslink at a push but the SB3 would look out of place there.

You're correct, I have two complete libraries. I guess I'm being lazy doing that as I could use something like Media monkey for my MP3 players, but the MP3 files should not be in the Slim database. I'll have to check and see if a couple may have gotten in the playlists. Is your script looking at the playlists? I haven't reviewed your code, but will investigate my playlist regardless. It sounds like it's just "noise" in my database that I need to correct. For now I'll use version 2 and it doesn't "see" that noise. Thanks for looking into this for me!

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
Frank, I just downloaded and ran RC4a. The run time wasn't much longer, but the results were a little disappointing. I still get the same results of multiple listings for some albums. As an example, Alanis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill". I get four listings: the first with one track (track one) and album art, the second with just track two & "No Cover Available", the third with tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12 with art, the fourth with just track 13 no art, and the fourth with just track 13 with art. I checked the tags in MP3Tag. There is only one genre per track. The album name has no special characters. I'm stumped. RC2a worked the best for me so far. Sorry for my bad results!

It would be nice chatting, but I won't get home this evening until 19:30 Eastern Standard time (I think six hours after you get there) and I image that you will be sleeping by then. The SqueezeCenter software is what plays your MP3s. (In the future you might consider switching to FLACs because even my 57 old ears can hear that difference.) It does read as though you can hook your iCub directly to your Squeezebox/Duet either using the digital or RCA plugs. Personally, I have a central stereo system for the house and that's where the Squeezebox lives. Mine is attached via a cable, but MANY people here on the forum use WiFi though there seems to be some challenge at times doing that. It actually connects to your PC which would need to be running or SqueezeNetwork which is an Internet "cafe" of radio stations run by Logitech's SMS (Slim Devices). (On SqueezeNetwork your PC doesn't have to be turned on.) The difference as I see it between the SB2 and the Duet is the nifty remote that comes with the Duet. It connects to your network wirelessly, gives you full control of the player anywhere in your house, shows you albums covers, displays the weather, displays RSS feeds, slices breadwell, not yet ;) but it does a LOT!

I'm afraid you missed something. You connect the SqueezeBox/Duet to you Amp/Receiver. There are many places that compare the products, but since I'm supposed to be working I'm going to let you search for them. I agree that the Transporter is a bit pricey, especially for my "mature" ears, but it does have the best performance. Me, I just want a system to handle my music and feed my audio system. I just put it on random and let it play away. It's like listening to a radio station (which you can also do) of music that I picked. I love it! Many have the same results! I hope you do too!

Rene, I think you've found the right product...at least IMHO. Where to start...hmm. First, if you just want to play music on your computer you can download Slimserver/SqueezeCenter from slimdevices.com, load the software, scan the music on your computer, load SoftSqueeze from the Help tab, and play away with you music. SLimServer/SqueezeCenter can "slice and dice" your music many more ways than just alphabetically (like by genre, artist, etc.) However, should you want to hook your music up to that excellent stereo of yours then you should buy the product. Then you hook the device to your network and stereo and pesto the music is coming out of that stereo. BTW, the Transportor might be for you because it has absolutely the best sound of all of Slim Devices as I understand (Me, I just have a Squeezebox 2 and LOVE it). Though the new duet looks awfully tempting. I hope that makes some sense!

I just ran release candidate 2 and it worked for me albiet with no background on the window and something I hadn't noticed before. ACC tells me I have 351 Albums and SC 7 tells me I have 348. Also, I wonder why ACC accesses the internet. Overall, I happy with what I have.

I don't know how you're getting all of these things straightened out and added so quickly and maintain a normal life. I don't have any software consultants that work that fast (okay, one). I can't wait to get home tonight and try the new release! Have you entertain the idea of getting this into the trunk of SlimCenter? Personally, I think it's something everyone could use.

Re: [slim] Want to be able to run the SBR with the SB3 remote?
A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42229 Question: Do you want to be able to control the new SBR with your SBx-remote? - Of course I want to! - Nah, why should I? Your wish doesn't make any sense to me, sorry. If you hide the SBR an IR receiver on the SBR (even though there isn't one) wouldn't function anyway. Seems as though you'd at least need RF, but why when the controller looks SO COOL? YMMV, SS I recently set up a wireless network during the beta test because I wanted a SBC as soon as they came out not knowing that the SBC & SBR would set up their own ad hoc network. Oh well, now my sons can use the wireless with their laptops or iPhone (the geek in the group bought one the first day they were available). -- Secret Squirrel Secret Squirrel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4984 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
Frank, I just downloaded and ran beta 5 on SC 7.0 with no problems. The results are fantastic in my opinion as I only have a straight vanilla database. I really wanted a printed catalog for family and friends. Thanks for all the good work, amazingly fast turn-around on changes/corrections, and filling a much needed niche!

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
Just alittle more information (very little). I am running SC 7.0 on Windoze XP Pro...non-VM machine. I'm also running on the latest FireFox version 2. My guess is that I am running Frank's version 3 because of the Various Artist bug. I will post all of my information this evening. then I'll download and run version 4. More info later...sorry!

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
I'll be glad to...when I get home this evening! (10:15 EST here now) I'm afraid I don't even know which of Frank's versions I am running at the moment either. Sorry!

Re: [slim] Announce: Album Catalog Creator for SlimServer
I installed and ran it on SqueezeCenter 7.0 and it ran fine. The only isse I had was that it listed all artists as "Various Artists", but I noticed further up in the thread that happens when you don't enter a compilation directory which I didn't. I hope to spend some time on the script to see a work around. Continued thanks Frank for your great work on this!
