LMS is for free, but there is a German saying "Only death is for free", thus time to acknowledge the major contributors on a regular basis. Every year there are more options and possibilities with the Squeeezebox environment with myself judging and looking back at 12+ years of personal use. I would be happy to donate to Philippe as well, but didn't find a link. frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113347 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi Ralphy, I would be interested in patches for the radio and Touch for the official firmware. I tried the new firmware with one radio , however some patches I used in the past will not work with the new firmware, even when modifying the supported versions of the patches (orange highlight). I didn't try the custom dim patches on the new firmware, but expect a failure too BTW - Thanks for delivering so many great contributions to the Squeezebox universum... frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114010 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

A very impressive performance, probably the best New Year Song I have listened to. A big thank you to all the developers who invested countless hours of improving the Squeezebox Ecosystem. Maybe 2021 is the right time to start a new hardware project - the BOOM 2?. Based on current Raspberry + Amps / ESP32 implementations, it shouldn't be too difficult to create a Boom 2. However all the HIFI / engineering knowledge of the community will be required to create a similar audio experience of a BOOM...

Hi JoeMuc2009, thanks for doing this service to the squeezebox community. Especially the Booms were an exceptional piece of sound quality combined with a nice package. Every Boom and Squeezebox we keep alive will help the ecosystem - While more people move to raspberry and other systems, the mix of old-style Booms, Squeezeboxes and Radios with new approaches makes the value of this unique ecosystem with players for every operating system, attractive hardware and multiple diy approaches...

Potentially this is linked to UK rights of authors / singers and how they are reimbursed. There was a similar case for Germany and youtube, when many artists' songs / music videos were not available in Germany. Maybe a simple workaround could work for you. Try to add this link to your favourites, maybe you can still access the tunein directory: http://opml.radiotime.com/Browse.ashx?id=r0 (for locations directories) http://opml.radiotime.com/Browse.ashx?c=music (for music styles). That was a backup for Tunein I added to my local favorites when I feared that Logitech kills the cloud and when no local plugin was available long time ago - it still works frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112911 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

On the one side the wiki contains interesting information hard to find in the forum, on the other side the Wiki contains also a lot of outdated and misleading information (as developments moved on). Maintaining the content of the Wiki is a lot of effort, thus I would vote for archiving the wiki and adding some statements on the first page that the primary source of information is this forum. There is one wish from my side: If investing time into improving IT - a better search function for this forum would be very much appreciated. Most of the time I searched for a topic, I was ways better off using google to search for the right thread / post. Would it be possible to add another search engine to the forum (not sure if google still offers to use their search engine for a website-specific search like they did long time ago). This will also help to prevent the multiple postings of the same issues / topics. frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112915 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Smart people will stay with Squeezebox
A provocative title to counter all the "I will leave the Squeezebox Community" threads. I am really astonished how many people state in this forum that they leave the community and Switch to Sonos and other systems. I will stay with Squeezebox and actually I am buying used equipment for my friends to provide them with the best experience of music ever: in my personal opinion, the Squeezebox experience has never been as good and as cheap as it is now. Let me explain why I prefer squeezebox versus all other solutions on the market: - Software players are available for all major operating systems including android, Mac, Linux, Iphone, Windows... - Many browser software is available on all operating systems (androidk windows, iphone...) - Cost-effective Squeezebox compatible servers are available, e.g Raspberry Pi (even MusicIP works there) - It is compatible to the outside world (e.g. Apple, DLNA, Chromecast) thank to Philippe - Redundant plugins for the shutdown of Mysqueeezebox.com already exist - No worries about the future, (tuninin bv Michael Herger, Shoutcast, Ickstream and more...) - Philippe made our system compatible to the broader outside world: Chromecast, Apple Airplay, DLNA, I have never seene such a compatibility list for any other 3rd party... - all major streaming services are available (I do not use them personally, thus a disclaimer I do not know about the quality of integretaion) - In contrast to many other streaming hardware, you have direct feedback (screens) and interaction possibilities (buttons...) - You can adapt your setup to the smallest detail. - for every problem you find answers in this community or even software, workarounds, bugfixes... I struggle to see the reason why people leave this community - nothing has changed, all is better than ever... A special thanks to Michael Herger, Philippe, Erik and all the others who contribute to this community... frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107925 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
