I added it on the server (Squeezebox Server, running on a machine here at home). That was straightforward as there is a choice to tune in a URL you enter (Internet Radio-Tune in URL), and then I just made it a favorite. Similar process on mysqueezebox.com, although I don't use that so don't have the exact location in the GUI.

Re: [slim] Connecting SB3 directly to old mac mini
I'm not a Mac person, but generally speaking without a DHCP server for either device to get an IP address from, you should assign them both static IPs in the same subnet. That means use something like this: IP address of mac: 192.168.1.100 subnet of mac: 255.255.255.0 IP address of SB: 192.168.1.101 subnet of SB: 255.255.255.0 gateway/etc for SB: 192.168.1.100 (if you really need to put this info in) Hope this helps Tom -- TomS TomS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12525 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72863 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Anyone using Deltacopy for backup's?
Again, slighty off topic, but I use deltacopy/rsync to sync from windows to my linux server. And, i have an external USB disk on the linux server, formatted NTFS. One thing that I've hit is that the ntfs-3g filesystem on the linux machine (which is what I am using to mount the external usb drive) loses its original date/timestamp - all files moved there directly through deltacopy/rsync get the current time/date. Of course if you don't care about time/date stamps this doesn't matter. A workaround is to rsync to an ext3 drive and then sudo rsync to the usb drive (if I remember correctly).

[slim] Another successful implementation!
Well, tonight I helped my brother get Squeezecenter running on his Mac Mini to serve his new Transporter and Duet. He had the Duet running against SN but was ready to get the transporter and local library going. I wanted to post this because: 1. wanted to say that it went flawlessly for him/us (no hiccups at all), and I know we read quite a few problem threads but people don't often post success stories. 2. I used a free remote desktop s/w to show him some of the SC options/config. It's called Teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com) and is free for personal use. Mac/PC cross-platform compatible. Works great! Just thought people might want to know about it (not affiliated with it at all, just a happy user). Thanks SD/Logitech for making me, and now my brother, happy listeners.

Okay, removing the DISCNUMBER=1/1 comment from the flac files solved that, except for one pesky cd which insists on going into the VA category despite the fact that there is no compilation flag or discnumber. I'll figure that out. But this brings me to my next question- I wonder what other duplicate names I have in my collection. Does anyone have any unix shell script or even windows something that will show me duplicate album names based on flac tags? I'd even take duplicate folder/directory names as for the most part they are equivalent.

If I go to Albums, only 2 of the seven are listed, and if I go to a specific artist who has other albums besides Greatest Hits, I get the wrong thumbnail cover.jpg in SC (although once I select it, it does show the right one). I have checked the tagging and all is correct there (see output from metaflac at bottom). Another weird thing - I have a duplicate (backup) disk on a windows box and it works fine (maybe not a final sc 70 on windows, can't remember: SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - 17491 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252) Permissions on linux are totally open for the music folder and I can browse to it and play fine via Music Folder (but they don't get added to the library ).
