Re: [slim] are Amazon MP3s gapless on SBS?

2010-01-13 Thread floydthecat

FWIW, there have been people who have encountered problems with certain
tracks downloaded from eMusic.  They have then downloaded the tracks
from itunes and encountered the exact same error (an error that is not
present on the physical cd).  Emusic has stated that they do not encode
the music themselves, the copy is given to them from the record label. 
However, I don't know if this is true for all vendors. Some people have
reported downloading the same album from emusic and, say, Amie Street or
Amazon, and the version from Amie Street/Amazon has a higher bitrate. 
Go figure.
(Most, but not all, of eMusic's tracks are gapless Lame btw)

Re: [slim] Turning SHN Files into FLAC files

2008-12-22 Thread floydthecat

dBpoweramp will convert directly from shorten to flac.  It also has a
batch converter built in.  You can choose folders or individual tracks
to convert.

Re: [slim] Turning SHN Files into FLAC files

2008-12-22 Thread floydthecat

I edited my post above to add batch converter directions in case you
missed it.  If you have a lot to convert, just set it up  leave it
going overnight.

Re: [slim] Controller Display Question

2008-12-10 Thread floydthecat

I have mine set to never, but my controller behaves a little strangely
as well.  When I remove it from the cradle and start playing some music
then put it down, after about 30 seconds the backlight for the buttons
goes off and the screen dims.  After about another 30 seconds the
screen turns off.  If I move the controller the screen comes back on at
full brightness, as well as the button backlights, and stays on. Seems
to me at least the button lights should turn off to reduce battery
consumption. If I leave the controller in the cradle when I start
playing music then the screen just stays on from the beginning and
never dims/goes dark.  I have now playing set as screensaver and, as
metioned, dimming set to never.

Re: [slim] SB3 Antenna???

If you can find another router at a good price you can use DD-WRT to
turn it into a repeater.  Solved my problems.
