Re: [slim] Which streaming services (eg LastFM napster Spotify) display on SB Duet controller?
thanks for your helpful replies. Just to be clear I'd like to use the SB duet controller if possible as my main controller and I'd like to use a good streaming service where the albums / tracks / artists / similar music / upcoming list etc etc is all on this controller. I am also in the UK so MOG is not an option, its not released here yet despite lots of promises. Ideally i'd like to test as a free trial period. If this fails, then yes i'd take the android app option. thanks# alex ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97729 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi I am a later adoptor to streaming services. I don't have a touch just classic SB's and the duet controller (the one with the jog wheel and display).

Hi This is not directly a squeezebox question but I wonder if anyone can help? Just got the nice Fubar IV DAC/headphone amp but on my main PC having trouble. I am trying to listen to music via usb from a new computer running windows 7 and get no sound. Everything is ok from my laptop so I know the Fubar DAC/headphone amp is working fine. When I connect it, it appears under windows sound devices and the virtual volume indicator is moving (under sound settings). Makes no difference if I unplug the audio out via analogue headphone sockets. I have tried all the other USB ports. The option to make the USB sound as default is greyed out. As I said when I plug into a laptop with windows7 everything is great. any ideas? I'll check in the bios to see if anything is amiss.

I have checked and I can find no transporter previously sold on ebay and few if any on here, these are certainly much sought after. *Specs* Transporter, UK power lead Silver Black Remote Boxed Instructions Immaculate, no marks, fully functional New Cost £1299 + delivery I'm looking for the best offer, received in the next five days (by the 10th July). If someone really comes up with a great offer I reserve the right to let it go early. I will offer free PP (tracked) but anyone is welcome to collect from me in Leicester. I do have pics, please pm me with your email if you want them or I am happy for people to email me direct on [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks alex p.s. I hope I have kept within forum rules -- ajmitchell Check out my other hobby http://ajmitchell.shutterpoint.com ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36616 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Agreed a graphic remote would be great, but as SONOS already offer this I suppose its easier for slimdevices to look to aftermarket solutions...although admittedly this will always be a compromise.

I am sure your right, and this is exactly what I am thinking about right now (although the Music Fideilty DAC is a cool $4000!]: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=123933 OK, so you can use the Transport DAC for other inputs Are you sure about this? Lets wait for confirmation The other big issue (already mentioned) is how does it integrate into multi-room with Sb3 etc. If there is no problem here (as I suspect) then bundling the Sb3 for free is a nice sweetener IMHO Alex -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25771 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

All music must be enjoyed by someone so how would the rating system know if YOU liked it or not?

[slim] Re: 24/96 source material?
I think we are suddenly going to see a lot of interest in 24/96 in these forums. For most IMHO its a non-issue as there a lot of quality that can be squeezed out of good old 16/44 (eg lossless CODECs) which even now most don't use. However, my reading of the HiFi magazines is that higher bit rates sound more and more natural (even tho many don't actually notice). The problem as you say is there is tiny amount of source material and few want to rip their own vinyl at anything like this quality. However, lets search the web and unpack some of this, to generate some answers.. q1.

[slim] [Fun] - Listening time with large collections
Hi all, These posts of 20k 40k and 90k collections (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23701page=11)got me thinking about listening times and habits. Assuming a mean track length of 4.5 mins, and typical listening of 4 hours per day / 50 tracks ( last FM stats tell me its usually much lower than this)..then here are some interesting stats for those with big libraries If you have 1000 tracks, thats 2.8 days of continuous listening day and night. If you have 10,000 tracks then thats 29 weeks of typical listening (see chart enclosed) If you have 100,000 tracks [= 3 tracks from every CD released in the US for 1 year]** then thats 16.5 years(!) to listen to your collection 3 times (in a use typical pattern). If you were mad enough to collect 1 million tracks [thats every track from all music officially released in the world in 1 year!!]** it would probably take 30 years to collect (manically collecting 33k tracks per year) and then 54.9 years to listen to once - ie an entire lifetime thats food for thought R Alex ** Source http://www2.sims.berkeley.edu/research/projects/how-much-info-2003/optical.htm +---+ |Filename: Listening time with mp3s.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1524| +---+ -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25759 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: [Fun] - Listening time with large collections
Now the point about ratings in itunes is interesting. I dunno if you noticed but itunes only allows a certain speed of data entry (say 10 seconds to click and move on) [unless applying mass ratings of the same no.]. Also say it takes 30 seconds to preview any particular track.and 5 second thinking time. Thats 45seconds to rate a track. (You can seem where I am going). So say with 10,000 tracks thats 125 hours. It would be crazy inputting more than 8 hours per day.so thats 15.6 days to rate your 10k database. No say you want to add album art (60seconds); track gain (10 seconds) and re-title.wow thats another couple months in admin time. You guys don't have full time jobs do you! ;) Ps. My collection is 9,000 tracks but unusually its stuff I like.ie, I delete 80% of every album and just keep the good stuff, that way random play is usually fun. alex -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25759 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Clear Library and Re-Scan Doesn't Clear Existing PLaylists.
I have upgraded to 6.3.0 only to find a problem. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I first trried the conventional re-scan (delete everything and re-scan) only to find orphan playlists from some time ago. Aha, easily solvedI deleted the file slimserversql.db but this did not work either! the re-build is exactly the same. Very strange indeed. Re-scanned at least twice no effect. Deleted slimserversql.db again, but the old playlists appear like a pheonix from the ashes. Help! thanks. BTW there are 133 playlists in my itunes setup, not that this should make a difference. alex -- SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 8148 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Itunes 6.0.4 WinXp -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25592 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Sync'd SBs mess up on AAC, AIFF
Hi, I have exactly the same problem as you, but only when I am playing from a NAS. I suggest you run slimserver's Home / Server Network Health test (=Home / Server Network Health = enable monitoring). I suspect it will tell you there is a problem as already suggested. My experience is that running lossless / AAC off an internal hard disk in multiple Sbs will work just fine if your wireless settings are ok. You can always test hard wiring them just to check it does work ok. -- ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25567 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
