I agree with John Darko that 'Random Album' is a GREAT feature of the system. Sorry to say, I also wasn't blown away with the quality of the sound from the Duet. On my website, in 2009, I wrote "The Squeezebox Duet is not a real Hi-Fi piece of equipment. I may be a bit sharp here, since probably 80 % of the population (the average consumer) can live with it the way it is. The Duet combo is a low-cost lifestyle piece of equipment, and I guess that's where the money is for Logitech."

Re: [slim] Is there a way to avoid same artist being listed twice
Wishful thinking - if someone could 'invent' a music-scanner that looks
for almost identical tags, and asks if they should be identical or not?
Lower-case versus upper-case
Various accented letters
An extra space (' ') somewhere in the tag.
etc.
Cheers,
Claus

Re: [slim] NAS Advice
Hi xebec59 Welcome to posting on this forum. >Essentially nearly 5000 CDs ripped plus later purchases. It sounds like a lot ... like you'll need maybe 4 TB of disk space. At Archimago's Musings he investigated what people actually have: http://archimago.blogspot.com/2020/06/musingspoll-lifetime-of-digital-audio.html (Direct link: https://www.poll-maker.com/results2961795x58875a24-87#tab-2 ) Results (trend): 46% has less than 1 TB of actual music in their library. 64% has less than 2 TB 82% has less than 4 TB >Amazon UK currently have a Synology DS220j with 2 x 14TB Seagate Ironwolf drives for £705. Would this NAS be suitable? Absolutely, yes. >the LMS packages are now "unofficial" - How much of an issue is that? Personally this is discouraging me from buying another Synology NAS - I've purchased several since my first in 2008 - but I might still buy Synology ... then it will only be for the file management. The direction I am considering is, as also proposed by others here in this thread, to consider a Raspberry Pi, which runs the LMS (with piCorePlayer configured not as a player, but running entirely as a server). This can either pick files from the NAS or (more likely) I'll connect a disk directly to the RPi-LMS server and only say 'mirror' it on the NAS. The NAS in my world may as well be powered off most of the time unless I find other reasons to keep it on.

He he he - I agree that (management at) Logitech screwed up. They basically lost a fantastic opportunity after acquiring Slimdevices from Sean Adams. We're talking many years ago when the power of open source wasn't well known from a commercial perspective, and only few knew how to make money off of it, so today we can happily look back and see how this platform was gifted to us. Instead of Logitech making waves, SONOS showed up. To gauge exactly how big of a blunder was made by Logitech management, just look at the sizes and net value of those two companies. Example: Logitech = 7000 employees, SONOS ca. 1400 (so 20%). /Claus cfuttrup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32784 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109939 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool
I tried Net UDAP, but witout any luck. What worked for me was to download SqueezeConfig.APK on my PC, transfer it by cable to my phone. Allow an application to install such packages (in late Android versions, each app needs direct permission to do so). The Receiver was rebooted to factory settings by holding the front button 6 seconds until quck-red-flashing appeared. Install the SqueezeConfig package. It immediately found the Receiver and I told it to use the IP address of the server on my NAS. That's all. cfuttrup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32784 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi all. In other forums I am used to a simple one-click way to get an overview of the threads where I have posted messages - for quick and easy follow-up. Does this forum have this feature? I've found a work-around, use Search - Advanced Search and search for all posts where user = myself has posted. Does this forum support an easier way to do this, like what I'm used to in other forums? ... I haven't had any luck locating a way to change the skin of the forum, or other setup features that would enable this. The feature I'm looking for is not Subscription or Private Messages.

Re: [slim] 802.11n technology
The idea to support wireless-n can make sense, if users prefer to make their future setup in a wireless-n _only_ system. They obviously can't do that if they buy squeezebox gear that requires wireless-g. Wireless-n is approved ... and within the next year things will move in that direction. Slimdevices _may_ be able to argue that high speed is not required for e.g. their remotes (I have a Duet) and that the wireless-g gear can coexist on the same network ... other arguments exist, what about the range available to wireless-n equipment?
