I gave up on this one. Not going to invest much time (and I have spent hours already) trying to get this to work.

Called SiriusXm to cancel the service and THAT was a nightmare. 20 minutes of inane questions asked by a girl barely able to speak the English language.I was sure the next question was going to be are you circumcised? :) Finally told them, enough, Cancel the service.

[slim] Questions About SiriusXM
I thought (my first mistake) that adding SiriusXM would be just like adding any other service. I thought it would be native to the player and I would not have to switch to mysqueezebox.com. Am I missing something here? 1. The app does not show up in the app list on the squeezebox server.I restarted the server but nothing changed. 2. It is in the app list on iPeng.(though,at first, iPeng went crazy, menus flashing, and it locked up. Next time it worked OK. 3. All the other apps I use (Pandora,Slacker,Mediafly,and TuneIn Radio are integrated in the squeezebox server software. When I use these services I am not logged out of server software and onto to mysqueezebox.com site. With SiriusXM I am logged of the server software and onto mysqueezebox.com. Is this how it is supposed to work, and if so, seems a PITA. Any help is appreciated. I have not added a new service in quite awhile. We had a Class, boom, and Radio.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox: Wifi and Health
I certainly wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. Read. Be informed. Fact is no one knows for sure the long term effects or the cumulative effect. Often we want certainty when all science can give us is probability. I always look at who is sponsoring a study and what do they stand to gain from the study turning out a certain way. My home is filled with wireless equipment. I am inclined to accept the WHO viewpoint BUT I don't dismiss every report that suggests another point of view. Definitive science has been proven wrong more than once...so it always good to be receptive to opposing views (though I don't think we should give a moments notice to the crackpots who use pseudo-science and fear) This issue will be studied many many more times in coming years. I am sure more information will come to light as we go along. -- brucegrr brucegrr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70112 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Double Listings in Albums
As your library grows it is vitally important to have a single tagging format. If you download much music you'll find a variety of tagging. Are you using cover art? As a separate filed cover.jpg or is it embedded? If you have BOTH of these then you can end up with duplicate entries. I use MP3tag to tag my files. When I first started I have thousands of files to fix. Eventually, I cleaned it up and everything shows up like it should.

Windows can work fine IF your processor speed and ram is sufficient. I have two squeezeboxes running right now and I am surfing the net and doing email. No stutters. The lower the processor speed and the less ram you have the more likely it is to tax the system. If yo uleave gmail open then it is going to access the internet every so many minutes. Only open it when you need to. Close all other non essential programs. Turn off programs loaded in memory at start up that aren't needed. What windows version are you running? It should be noted that Firefox tends to hog more and more memory the longer it is loaded. Well documented.

Not trying to give you a hard time here but the two biggest memory users on my system are firefox and slimserver.They DO use memory.I can't imagine fiefox showing 0 or little memory usage.

Why not have the computers in a network and access the internet via the network? From what you described in your post it is not likely that SB3 is the problem.

Re: [slim] Quality of Slimserver
Michael, I have not tried Vista with slimserver. I based my opinion on what I have read in the forums. Since my setup works PERFECTLY I hate to mess it up. It looks like, from the release notes anyway, that maybe 6.5.2 is much more Vista friendly. My point is.Microsoft throws out to the world its latest and greatest.and then eveyone expects instantaneous compatibility. Never mind the fact that there are more people who clean the toilets at Microsoft than work at Slim Devices. Vista is a major OS change (especially in how it handles security)and Slim Devices should not be faulted for there being issues that need to be worked out between the OS and slimserver. I am quite confident it will all work out. People need to be patient.

Re: [slim] Quality of Slimserver
Where are people getting the idea you need a powerful machine to run slimserver? From what I have seen, slimserver will run on some pretty slow, antiquated equipment. I think what really drives a lot of this..is our impatience. If rescan takes 2 minutes longer than we think it shouldit is the bloated software's fault. How easily we forget the days of dialup and slow, slow, slow computers.Remember the boot up, go get coffee, eat breakfast, and then just maybe you might be able to use the computer days? As to Vista and slimserver not working together well.I am sure they will get that worked out. There are LOTS of programs and hardware that do not play nice with Vista. I spent a whole day upgrading a new laptop to Vista. Got all doneonly to find out my printer wouldn't work with Vista and that HP might have the driver out by JULY!! Personally, I like Vista. Let's remember Vista was not on the supported OS list when most of us bought our Squeezebox. At the time we bought it functioned according to the stated system requirements. Just because Microsoft foists another OS on the world doesn't mean slim devices must hurry up and make everything compatible. Perhaps it is in their best interest to do so.but it may not be a #1 priority. I have slimerver on an XP system. I want to upgrade it to Vista but I am waiting until Vista is more mature and slimserver is more Vista friendly. -- brucegrr brucegrr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35492 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] 2nd Squeezebox with AudioEngine Speakers
A year ago I ordered my first Squeezebox. I have been nothing but pleased (well ok a few of those upgrades I might have cussed a little) Today my second Squeezebox arrived. I ordered a white version. I paired the Squeezebox with a set of AudioEngine Powered Speakers. First, the AudioEngine speakers are phenomenal. Well built. Someone cared about the end user experience when these were developed and built. Great sound. Good range. Second, the second Squeezebox took about 10 minutes to install and setup. My first one is wired. I am using this one wireless. The setup was flawless. The only hangup was on the Wep2 key. Of course the hangup wasI need to learn to type :)Once I put in the right key it worked. For less than 600.00 I have a great sounding setup. I couldn't be more pleased. For the record I am using a Dlink DIR635 router, with a dlink switch. I live in the country and the only internet service available is dial-up up or wireless. I use wireless 128K up and 1 mgbit down. Seems to handle all the internet features pretty good. I crab from time to time when things don't work...so I want to say good job Slim Devices when it goes right. Five stars from me, slim devices. Bruce PS. Those who told me that the multiple squeezeboxes would just simply work were right. Thanks for the help in getting me past me hesitancy about adding another squeezebox. -- brucegrr brucegrr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34899 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] 2 computers 1 squeeze box
If Slimserver is resident on the desktop you can use your laptop and browser and http://192.168.0.136:9000/ (or whatever the ip address of the squeezebox is)to access slimserver. It does not need to be installed on both computers. The above scenario presupposes your computers are networked.

[slim] Re: Getting rid of slimserver
Are people really having trouble with Slimserver keeping up with 500 albums? Seems that there would a problem Other than Slimserver to cause that. I have 14,000 songs that Slimserver can access and it never has a problem. The only slowness I ever see is when I initially browse my music via album cover. Slimserver will be a little sluggish for a bit (15 seconds) but then it is fine. It seems some on this thread want a swiss army knife approach to their music. One program to do everything. As a long, long time computer user I have found that rarely is this approach a good one. I think Nero is a good example. Their recent release has everything but the kitchen sink (and it is in there somewhere I suspect)IMO the program is bloated and the extras they have crammed into the program are not as good as separate programs that can be bought elsewhere. The sad fact is most of the features software companies put in the programs are never used. They do it to justify an upgrade I like the fact that Slimserver does its job and does it well. Just like EAC and mp3tag. Few of us can do a lot of things well. Better to focus on what we can do well and excel at it. I like software that takes the same approach.

In my limited experience... Pretty much 100% out of the box IF you are using a wired connection. As long as your network settings are correct, router ports open, firewall configured correctly..it just plain works. I have found the wireless experience to be less than 100% Too many variables..your mileage will vary. People should remember wireless is not a perfect answer. There are a lot of different things that can kill a wireless signal. I had a wireless network in one home.and every a particular car drove by our houseon his way to work..killed the signal.
