It is *-NOT-* just a perceived superior product, the FLAC File is lossless hence one is getting ALL the music they paid for whereas MP3 is a copy and a bad one at that with tons of missing actual music data. 128Mbps is easy to tell the difference even on a bad stereo as it is lifeless, incomplete, and has no sustained bass because notes and sustained musical artifacts have been removed by an algorithm that was mathematically designed on the bad assumption that the human ear couldn't actually hear those notes yet a human brain and ears heard them in the first place because that is why they were written into the music (musicians don't get paid by the note, they get paid by what people like to HEAR and listen to)! 256Kbps is not much better and 320Kbps does take a decent stereo to hear the difference but again just anybody that writes music, studies music, is an avid listener of quality music can tell a 320Kbps file from a FLAC file. Now once one starts talking about super HiRes, then yes your claim makes all the sense in the world because anything over 24/96 is a complete waste of money because it is only good for Masters and even then starts causes more problems then it is worth as rates get higher and higher. 24/192 playback has filter and high bit rate byproducts in it that actually can easily be measured and when compared side by side with 24/96 playback 24/192 actually "Looks" dirty compared to 24/96 on the HP Measuring Receiver due to these artifacts caused by sampling a rate that high and the excess filtering involved in an attempt to remove these artifacts, essentially attempting to keep the resolution level actually ends up making it a lower actual resolution then native 24/96! The fact that 24/192 playback has a higher noise floor then 24/96 tells one all they need to know. . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109154 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The music industry simply shoots itself > in the foot again and again. If I was a big label, I'd offer 16/44 > download from my website with cover art. . I am deeply in the used CD camp. I want to own "My Masters" so if anything happens that I haven't planned for already, I can re-rip an Album. I don't even remotely consider it piracy. The New CD was priced at $16 and the artist got his cut. The Artist agreed to have his work produced and sold on a CD. The person that bought that CD has every right to sell it as it has now become his property, the artist was licensing or renting the Album to the end buyer. CDs are no different then any other product that is bought and sold out right to the purchaser. If artists want to complain about something, how about Asian and European copy-right laws?! How does ones copy right simple go away after X number of years and anybody can now produce it and sell it at a rate that doesn't pay the artist anything? Copy Rights are not Patents that have a limited life and protection. Which brings me to the issue of Downloads. Yes I have bought something, but I don't physically own it in the material sense as in I can't hand to somebody else allowing them to buy it for it has no physical form. Yes it is "Stored" on a physical form but it is not packaged in physical form and not sold in a brick and mortar retail establishment. If a hit song is 88 cents for a download from Walmart, then the whole album should be about $5 for buying in bulk. For again there is no cost of a physical store front, no employee to pay to sell or interact with the purchase, not warehouse space to store multiple hard copies, no packaging to pay for, no product cost to incur to make and sell multiple copies of the product, and on and on. So a huge costs have been removed even when one thinks it only cost a penny or two to mass produce CDs for a hit Album, there are tons of other costs involved like jewel cases, storage, shipping, etc. I probably have less then a dozen downloads and I only have them because there was no other means to get the Album I was searching for. Just my thoughts. I don't ever want to see CDs go completely away. Does that make me a control freak? . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109154 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeBox restarts/loses network
. The Touch has some nice things like the color screen and the ability to just scroll through menus by touching the display. More choices of how the music that is playing is displayed and what the displayed information is. IMO it has the best DAC other then the Transporter, but the Burr-Brown in the Classic is by no means a slouch (it is better then the DAC in many AV Receivers), plus with the Touch you get native 96K playback like with the Transporter (Classic is native 44.1 & 48 only). I guess my suggestion would be that if you can afford the used Touch it would be worth the upgrade in my option. Plus the Touch is a newer unit and doesn't have the known WLAN issue plus no worry about when the VFD is going to fade or die because it doesn't have one. The only advantage I see to getting a second Classic is you are used to it and would have your original for spare parts to make future repairs with. On a side not, I would replace the Power Supply just for good measure if you go the Classic route. It also can be a problem. I have retired my SB3s (Classic) and am keeping them as spares for they have been replaced with the Touch Squeezeboxes. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109138 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeBox restarts/loses network
. Wow, 17 posts since 2007. I think you have had a good handle on LMS and Squeezebox until this little issue raised its head. I have had great music enjoyment from Slim Devices and a great experience with few problems. My post count would probably be similar to yours if I wasn't always chiming in to try and help users (plus being in every Beta after the Classic). Is you Classic updated with the most recent firmware? Have you done a hardware reset or a restore to default? Sonos is still what it has always been, an expensive joke! The quick option would be to be patient and score a Touch on Ebay. If you like projects, you can build a Player cheaply using a Raspberry Pi kit. This allows you to make all the choices as far as quality and output type (analog, digital optical, digital coax) depending on what you want and how much you want to spend. One can even built a Touch Clone with a 7 inch display if you get the RPi touch display (no required just to build a player). And of course you can shop the used Classic market if you just want a direct replacement. My thought is to make sure what the issue is first IE split the problem in half so you are not troubleshooting so much. As in is it a Network issue or is it the Classic that is the problem. Do you own more then one Squeezebox? . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109138 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

A possible solution that is much cheaper then the expensive Eeros is to build your own. I also run two networks in my home, but I do it to keep one network completely off the Internet. I have set a similar single network up at my son's home. That Network being a nice new 802.11ac main wifi router and as many older N wifi routers as needed (especially if one has a few laying around) and some ethernet cable so the old routers can become APs (access points). If one can follow a simple YouTube video, one can setup a nice WiFi Network with multiple APs. One nice thing about a Netgear WiFi Router is that in the GUI it will show one all there neighbor's WiFi Networks and what channels they are on so one can avoid them. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105824 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I listen to just about everything if one excludes Rap & HipHop (which is mostly music ripped off from other artists or profanity rants). My son is listening to 70s and 80's channels to be able to listen to what he calls real music and when in the car with me, he gets exposed to what are called Oldies Stations which makes him wonder what will be called Oldies Stations when he is older because he just can't see there being Rap and HipHop stations in say 20 years which would be "his" oldies stations. He regrets listening to some of the rebeluis music of the 90's because he missed out on the actual music of the 80s and 90s which he is catching up to now. As for where all this is going, only time will tell. But the simply fact that Spotify has 4 million songs that are available for streaming that have NEVER once been picked to stream shows a huge issue with trying to guess what people really want. There are at least 100 songs that are among my favorites that are NOT available on Spotify, Tidal, or Pandora to which for 95% of them they can't give me a good reason why they are not available. A few of them are due to copyright disputes which prevents that from being sold/streamed/played such as a label and the rights being sold to another company and that company going bankrupt before really being setup so the material is in limbo. Also most streaming services don't even a means or method for songs to be added by request. I understand there is no good way or financial sense in adding just songs I like or want, but if there was a method for requesting additions and they reach X where it does make sense to add it, then make your customer base happy! *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108382 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

No going down to the basement and walking the shelves just to get one specific CD to bring back to whatever player in whatever room I was planning to listen to it in. Speed, variety, convenience, flexibility, multi-room, with full resolution no matter much audio system or room I am listening it. The cost is what I am willing to pay for the audio quality I want for the location I am using, not what -Sonos- says I HAVE to use from the few over priced options they have (plus their system will not handle the size of my music library). One can buy a Vortexbox Appliance if one wants to just plug and play or build their own large server or Raspberry Pi. In my mind total flexibility with ones equipment, music, and needs.

But the Slim Devices Wiki says the SB3 is WPA2 AES compliant so I would be looking at what the new router is doing since that is the main thing that changed. You don't have any of that PIN or push-button stuff turned on do you? Just using a passcode? *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108271 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Tagging Issue
.
Helpful Reading from the Slim Devices Wiki:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Beginners_Guide_To_Tagging
"MP3 files store tag information ("metadata", or data about data) in
"ID3" tags. See Wikipedia for a discussion on the differences between
ID3v1 (old!) and ID3v2 (newer!). Note both types can be present in a
file simultaneously.
With SqueezeCenter, it would be best to eliminate ID3v1 tags entirely,
skip ID3v2.2 and use ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 alone. ID3v1 tags are limited to
30 characters. Your tagging program of choice may correctly display
truncated titles, but it may instead display ID3v2 tag titles or even
data from its own cache, and it may not let you know what it's
displaying. SqueezeCenter attempts to use ID3v2 if both tag types are
present, but with so many different tag types, you can get confused as
to which ones your files have. If you have incorrect tag data that seems
to persist after you correct it and rescan, look for ID3v1 tags and
eliminate them.
Note that some portable devices do not support ID3v2.4 tags yet.
APEv2 tags can also be present in an MP3 along with the ID3 tag types,
this further confuses matters. Only MP3Gain should write APEv2 tags - do
not put text-based data in APEv2 tags.
FLAC and OGG files store tags in VORBIS comments. (Be careful, as FLAC
files can contain VORBIS comments and ID3 tags at the same time. If at
all possible delete all ID3 tags from the flac file. FLAC standard only
guarantees that VORBIS comments will be read by any flac compliant
program, while ID3 may be read by some but not by others.This has
confused some people, who were modifying the ID3 tags instead of the
VORBIS ones, and not seeing the proper result.)
APE tags are similar to VORBIS comments, in that they are free-form.
They are the native tag format for Musepack & Monkey's Audio formats.
Additionally, APE tags are often used to store ReplayGain information in
the footer of MP3 files.
WMA (Microsoft) and AAC (Apple) use proprietary file formats.
WAV files can't hold tag information at all."
If reading this hasn't solved the issue after looking into your "Tagger"
setting and what revision your tags are, please tell us what type of
files you are tagging IE MP3, FLAC, etc. What I am getting at here is
that all music files are not tagged alike.

I don't have a good theory to explain them. OK, so we know one thing for sure, "Windows" is involved. You have listed your OS and LMS version. In another thread, you said you were using a Ram Drive for your cache. So we have that info. Can you describe your server specs, CPU type, number of cores, total RAM, hard drives, size of your swap file and how much is being used IE how much room is left/free, and lastly how much space is free/remaining on each drive? Next question is, does this Windows 10 machine act as a stand alone LMS only server or is it acting as a main PC for Email, Surfing, Word Processing plus being an LMS Server? Lastly, do you have an older 64 bit PC that could be a donor machine to become a dedicated server to try Vortexbox 2.4 on? Of course if the Windows 10 machine is a standalone LMS only server, you could backup your data files (hope they already are), buy a small SSD Hard Drive, remove the Windows OS Drive, and give Vortexbox a shot on the current machine (note: installing Vortexbox 2.4 wipes all drives during installation as it is a completely new OS). *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108196 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Maybe I am not following you, is your complaint that favorite AM/FM Radio Stations are no longer on the air or no longer streaming? If a station streams its OTA signal, one only needs a PC, not a Squeezebox. If the Station and format is actually gone, there is an economic reason for that. For me, I only listen to AM or FM if I don't have my own music available or access to SiriusXM Satellite.

Re: [slim] Analog or digital?
. . The OWNER'S Ear always rules, BUT the DAC in your newer unit is OBVIOUSLY superior to an SB2 no matter what your Ear/Brain union tells you. Also remember that you are VERY used to listening to the SB2 analog setup. The real question here is whether it is time to replace the SB2 with a better unit IE a better higher resolution music streamer. If one doesn't need access to high resolution decoding, the quickest update is using the newer DAC getting away from the older SB2 analog section. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108179 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I agree which is why my Networks are as completely secure as possible. Now here is a thought, how do they KNOW I have Vandersteen and Ayre products in my house when they see my SB3? Riddle me that? More importantly, how do they get to my back account? I run two networks in my home. The first network that is attached to the Internet is probably more secure then networks the Government is running (knock on wood, I have never been hacked) because it has commercial Cisco Routers and real firewalls with only Ethernet connections for all devices IE no WiFi. My second network is a WiFi network without Internet that has a Sonic Wall Wifi Router and my Vortexbox Server that again has no connection to the Internet. Besides the server the only devices on the WiFi Network are my Squeezeboxes (both Ethernet and Wifi connections), my iPhone/iPad (for use with iPeng), and that is it. So how do they get to any of my personal information much less my bank account when no computer or laptop connects via WiFi or is on a network with KRACK vulnerability? If anybody takes the time to hack my SB3, other Squeezeboxes, or even my WiFi Router to gain access to my WiFi Network all they are going to reach is my Vortexbox Server and see my music collection.

Re: [slim] Speaker for bathroom
. . What? Who in the world needs to control music while in the shower? Put a playlist on, set the volume to the level you want, then take a shower IE don't interface with electronics while wet or in the bathroom! I use a Baby (SB Radio) in the master bathroom only on battery, I turn it on, create a playlist or select a whole album, set the volume level to where I want it, then shave and take my shower. The downstairs bath, in the basement, has a steam bath shower stall (take a shower or take a schvitz) so I have installed two waterproof coaxial car speakers in the ceiling and now drive them with a Amp Hat on a rPI in the hallway towel/linen closet (I get power off the closet light bulb socket with one of the screw in plug adapters and the speaker wires go into the ceiling at the back corner of the Closet and out to the bathroom speakers) this gives a permanent full time solution. There are many options for this depending on what you already own, what you want to use, or even how much you want to spend or not spend. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108146 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I love LMS and I hope we all continue to stay engaged. Many valid points as always dhallag. Yet I continue to see the major issue with today's Generation and today's hardware/software integration, which is today's youth mainly just want to use the latest and greatest ideas. Most really have no care as to how it works and more importantly to Squeezebox and LMS, they just want to turn it on having it completely ready to do what they bought it for. I have always wanted to know how it works while at the same time using it, I was the kid in the neighborhood that had to have the latest and greatest new electronic gizmo that just came out. I build my first crystal radio set at age 9 and by age 12 I was building my own RF Transceivers, Amplifiers, and Antennas. Again, teens today just want to turn it on. This came to a huge realization when I walked out of the used CD Shop the other night. It is right beside a Starbucks and a 20 something came over and asked me why I still bought CDs? I said so that I can rip them and store them so I could play them back at home, in my car, and at our weekend getaways. He really didn't know how to rip CDs as he thought you just bought Songs from iTunes or Amazon or used Spotify. He said he had about bought about 30 gig of songs then started using Spotify instead of buying. I told him that I had complete albums, not just the one or two hit songs from albums bought via single song downloads. I told him I had 8TB of my favorite songs in the Thunderbird and showed him. I told him I owned them and didn't need to pay a monthly service fee or have an Internet connection to have access to them or play them. I did agree that for his monthly fee he had access to 30 Million Songs, and if I were just starting out today that it would be a hard choice to make for me but that some of the things I like will never be on Spotify so in the end I would still be owning and ripping CDs. Sonos is dead to me for two main reasons: their system will not handle my huge music library and their over priced hardware is nowhere near the quality that I can buy on the open market for less money. As for Roon, it is a slick interface, but I am listening to music not wanting to watch Metadata. When I am watching and listening, that is a Blu-ray or DVD in my home theater room. LMS just does what I need it to do. Years ago, I converted over to Vortexbox for my servers and have never looked back because Vortexbox runs Tonido, Plex, and LMS perfectly for me. Learning Linux has been talked about, but one really doesn't need to unless one wants to get the most out of ones server and LMS. And it is not like one needs to write ones own code, one just needs to learn how to SSH and then follow directions others more versed in Linux in the community provide. But Linux is king in my opinion, who in the world can work with Microsoft Server or Windows 10 OS? Many of my friends and neighbors are using LMS and Squeezebox now, and I have upgraded everyone of them to Vortexbox because all they have to do is feed their Vortexbox a CD anytime they buy new music. There is a reason many people use iTunes, and the main reason is NOT that it is the best choice for listening to music! It is because it is point and click and comes preinstalled on almost everything Apple and it just works! . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1

Exactly what feature are you trying to get that is not in the current available dnf -y update version? LMS 7.9.1 is fairly up to date. So if there isn't something specific you HAVE to have in the latest Nightly, don't bother with Nightly's. SSH into Vortexbox and then run: dnf clean all followed by dnf -y update You will be running the latest "Tested" stable LMS 7.9.1 on your Vortexbox. No need messing around with the other unless there is something specific for something specific you are trying to do that isn't in the latest dnf -y update version pulled down. But from your error message it looks like one of two things happened, either you didn't get the "copy link location" correct or the server it is located on was down or had no path to your Vortexbox over the Internet. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106668 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have *Duets*, Booms and *Radios.* You already have the solution listed in your post, it's called a Baby/Squeezebox Radio! Wifi is always better then Bluetooth. Range is going to be a major problem with Bluetooth IE the Squeezebox, Bluetooth TX, and Bluetooth RX are all going to be in the same room anyway so why bother. I can walk all over the house and out in my yard with a SB Radio as long as it sees my WiFi network. You also have a Duet so the Transmitter is connected to your WiFi Network so you could plug that Bluetooth Transmitter into the Duet TX and carry it around with the Bluetooth Speaker system (or at least have it within 20 feet) and that would make your Bluetooth Speaker System portable as long as the Duet Transmitter is in range of your WiFi Network. Lastly several companies make stereo TX/RX that work in the 440MHz/900MHz bands (whole house plus yard coverage). The down side to this is that the main unit will be at a central location with your choice of Squeezebox, but you would have to carry their 900MHz receive with the TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter plugged into it to rebroadcast to the Bluetooth Speakers. . . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It really helps when you give the Forum ALL the information you can IE what exactly are you trying to do and why? For example, how are you going to drive the Speaker? This device isn't going to drive even a bookshelf speaker. So the speakers will have to have an AMP or be Powered Speaker both of which need power so you are going to have wires anyway so why bother with Bluetooth? Now if its for a pair of rear speakers away from the main system and you don't want to run wired but you will have power over at the rear position then that will work again as long as you use self-powered Speakers or an Amp with Speakers (but note they will most likely not be in sync with the mains if that is the object. So what is your budget what equipment do you have, where are you trying to do this, and why? There are powered bluetooth Speakers is that would be the solution. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Many of us still use Squeezebox and LMS everyday, plus we are glad to help. After 12 years of tweaking, LMS is very stable and fairly bug free. And even in the beginning, most of the issues were people that couldn't handle simple instructions or refused to admit they had network issues. Squeezebox has never been a turn it on out of the box product and use it unless one is only going to use Internet Radio.

One is for Music and the other is for Movies (One can run movies and music on one server but because my music and movie libraries dwarf several hundred average Squeezebox users collections, I run one for each format). The Vortexbox is its own OS Server based off of Fedora. It comes with LMS installed and after one click in the GUI to upgrade, one can add PLEX for Movies also. It also auto rips DVD, BluRay, and CDs. I have been running Vortexbox for years without issue. Plex does a good job plus adding Tonido to both Servers allows one to remotely search the server when shopping for movies or music to make sure one doesn't buy a movie or CD one already has! Squeezebox and LMS rule as far as I am concerned. It has worked flawlessly for over a decade for me. 95% of the people having problems either couldn't follow simple directions or didn't have a clue about creating a robust wireless network. Out of the hundreds of Squeezebox systems I personally troubleshot and fixed, most were proved to be a WiFi issue after I ran Ethernet to all the players (eliminating the Squeezeboxes, Server, and LMS as the issue). I don't send time messing with my setup, I send my time Listening to Music and auto-ripping CDs and Movies!

Re: [slim] Logitech should resurrect squeezebox
. This topic will always be discussed until one of two things happen, Squeezeboxen start showing up at Best Buy or Logitech goes out of business! Are either of those two things going to happen anytime soon, I don't think so, so the topic will live on. Logitech should be commended daily for their endless support of a product that they haven't manufactured in year! I still can't believe MYSB.com is operational without any real issues. Plus the work and help Michael provides is amazing and deeply appreciated. LMS is very well polished and I haven't had a single problem with it in so long I can't even remember the last time I had an issue with it. So comments that the Community will or would die if MYSB.com disappeared, I can't see that happening because I don't even use or have a need for MYSB.com. Granted I admit that many absolutely need MYSB.com because of how they listen to Music and don't have a huge personal stored music library. And then their are Tidal, Spotify, and others that LMS helps stream to ones Squeezeboxen. As long as I can repair or replace any Squeezeboxen of mine that die, I will be using LMS/Squeezebox until I die. The fact that I can now build my own Player, Touch replacement, or even a player with built in amp, my Squeezebox/LMS use is not going to decrease, it is ever increasing. Ran into and bought a Transporter, SB3, and two Touch Squeezeboxes at an Estate Sale the better half and I stopped at after I spotted a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy Speakers in the driveway (like money and sex, there is no such thing as too many Squeezebox spares). Would I love to see a new highend updated Transporter and updated Touch replacement, sure.

Re: [slim] Audio stops when playing
. Hello and welcome to the forum. First things first. It really helps if you describe in as much detail as possible exactly what you are using and exactly what you are trying to do. As an example: I am running Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 0.150.20161204 on a Vortexbox 2.4 Media Server. The server is 64 bit running Fedora 23 OS.

olivaar wrote: > i am sure for that: > > device or wireless isolation in your router or access point . . So I want back through my Router again Line by Line. I can't find a setting anywhere for Wireless Isolation or Bridging Bands. BUT, I did finally find a difference in the 2.4 and 5GHz settings. The WPA2 WPS push button was enabled on 2.4GHz and disabled on 5GHz. I don't see how this would make any difference especially when it was only the 5GHz band that would actually allow me access via URL direct server local network IP Address. So I change the 2.4GHz to disables also since none of my devices use automatic push button login and authentication anyway. This did nothing it was the same, only 5GHz Band access. NOW . . . . . . . . . . . . for even more mystery. Just for giggles, I changed the 2.4GHz WPA2 WPS push button back to enabled and I also enabled the 5GHz which has always been disabled, Voila, I can now access the Route setup page and any device by URL direct local network IP Address and move files via the 2.4GHz band or the 5GHz band. How does that make any sense whatsoever? I enable WPS push button on the 5GHz and that enabled the 2.4GHz band to do what it should have been doing and what the 5GHz band has always been able to do whether that setting was enabled or disabled for the 5GHz band? Guess I should stop complaining or wondering, and just be glad I no longer need to check which band a device is on to access my Servers, move files across the network, or open up LMS via IP Address! . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107394 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There is also another way to see what Tidal is going to send you if you have your LMS Browser open. Pick the song(s) you wish to listen to or check, placing them in your Que so they show up in the right hand pane. Now move your cursor over the song you wish more information on and out to the far right of the highlighted song you will see the *-Play Icon-*, the *-Delete Icon (X)-*, and the *-M Icon (M)-*. Click on the *-M-* and all the known info on that song/track will now be displayed in the Left Pane. It will show the File Format (MP3, FLAC, etc) where its from (Tidal, Pandora, or drive in your collect), and what the Bit Rate is.

I didn't say MP3 was dead, I said I wish it was and it would JUST go away quietly. I never "paid" to use MP3 either to rip or to to play. The ripper was included in the software I was using and playing MP3s were part of the computer/device I was using. If the device maker paid a fee it didn't effect me as I bought the player for a few bucks at a flea market. It being so called Public Domain now, doesn't do anything for me, don't use MP3 and don't care to. I am also still buying CDs. I don't know how old you are, but kids today don't seen to be buying CDs.

Tex wrote: > FYI > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/16/mp3_dies_nobody_noticed/ . . As long as it "Throws-out" the right notes, MP3 is one of the worse things to ever happen to music and currently has very limited value or use today in my opinion. The sooner it is completely abandoned the better. Did I need MP3 back in the 90's, I did because of how small hard drives were and how expensive they were. As hard drive prices came down and as they got larger, I re-ripped my Library to 320Kbps, and when the same thing repeated (larger, lower cost), I re-ripped to FLAC. My iPhone has more storage memory then my first 100 PCs combined! My Internet connection is Fiber 1000 with a 940Mbps download speed. Why -*NOT*- listen to the actual real original recording? Additionally, the only time I couldn't tell it was an MP3 was when it was too noisy to even think and there was something resembling music being played in the background. Back in the day, people used to buy albums or CDs then listen to the whole thing, believe it or not. Today kids just download the ONE hit for 99 cents and wonder why its $175 a ticket to go see their favorite artist in concert. The reason is that tours are how artists make their money now instead of having tours to drive and support album sales. The days of albums having 7 out of 10 songs on an album all being in the top 40 are gone. Whole albums are not listened to or played on the radio anymore IE most of an albums songs to see if people call in to hear a certain song again. Can one imagine what would have happened to The Beatles, Yes, Led Zeppelin, even Michael Jackson in these days of just buying the one main hit off the Album? This is of course just my humble opinion and just to be clear I am biased against MP3 if that wasn't readily clear, I hate MP3's format! Reminds me of the scene from the movie *-Amadeus-*: Emperor Joseph II: "Well, I mean occasionally it seems to have, how shall one say?" [turning to Orsini-Rosenberg, inquiring] "How shall one say, Director?" Orsini-Rosenberg replies, "Too many notes, Your Majesty?" The Emperor smilingly replies, "Exactly. Very well put. Too many notes." Bewildered Mozart replies, "I don't understand. There are just as many notes, Majesty, as are required. Neither more nor less." Emperor Joseph II, "My dear young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply *too many notes*, that's all. Just *cut* a few and it will be perfect."

Sorry I should have been more specific, I am running LMS 7.9.0 on a 2.4 Vortexbox Server. If I type the address of the Server 192.168.0.XXX in any open browser URL Line, I should go straight to the Vortexbox GUI Shell where I can click on the LMS Icon and it opens a new second window with LMS running (which happens with any PC on an Ethernet or 5GHz WiFi connection).

I can not reach my LMS unless I am on Ethernet or the 5GHz band, it will not connect on the 2.4GHz band. I have looked at the 2.4 and 5GHz band setups and they are identical other then SSID. If I leave the :9000 off so it should connect to the Server via IP Address, it will not and ends up doing a Google Search showing Find IP info and such for the Server's Local Network IP Address. Also odd is that I can log into my Router using 2.4GHz band and look and check everything, but I can not make any changes, it fails to take the password unless I switch to the 5GHz Band. Has anybody else seen and issue between 2.4 and 5GHz bands? Ideas, suggestions, or things you think I should try?

No. Sonos is mainly speakers. They have a display-less standalone box that acts like a Squeezebox by letting you connect this Sonos box to a pre-amp or receiver to feed content to your home stereo system. Squeezeboxes are feed over the local network by a Server or Internet connection via MySB.com. As far as I know, the only thing would be some type of Bridge that would take a Sonos stream and enable it to be feed to an LMS Server if that is even possible. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Glad you found something that you feel will work for you. It is ALWAYS a bonus when the better half can actually use it plus doesn't mind having it in the room! Nothing like a pair of Apogee Acoustics Duetta Signatures placed six feet off the back wall sticking out into the living room with room warmers stacked up on both sides of the TV to cause problems with the better half! My issue with Musaic and Sonos is the same issue. For me, I can't deal with a system that will be outdated because the main part of the system is -*THEIR*- speaker. For quick sound in a room, I have my Boom and Baby Units (or combine a Touch with a pair of AE 5+ speakers). For true music listening, I unfortunately require real stereo with correct phase and time alignment that reproduces the soundstage of the recording as close as possible for the amount of money I wish to spend, which currently is impossible with a single enclosure the size of a large loaf of bread (everybody seems to be falling for the Bose's Lie). There is a reason that both Musaic and Sonos DON'T list the frequency response of their products. And of course there is my investment is Digital Media since I have been buying CDs since the early 1980's. . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Enjoy the Music, wherever it comes from! Hopefully you will check back in every once in a while to see how things are, how Squeezeboxes is doing, and see who is "Bashing" you next. Good Luck! It is all relative but more importantly it is especially relative to personal preference and more specifically one's needs. Exile had all good reasons to want to try something new and go with a change. I have looked at Sonos many times but three main things have always stopped me from going with them. First is there Server has a library size limit which I exceeded several times over years ago. Second Sonos reminds me of Apple with everything being proprietary and closed so other companies can't make accessories. Third, there products are way over priced for what one ends up with especially since Audiophile Streaming is coming our way IE Sonos reminds me of Bose Radios that are just networked and not actually about HiFi. Also, I always read and hear about people having "Issues" with drop outs or buffering or syncing issues. I have had maybe four in 10 years to which I immediately solved. I have yet to ever find any of these issues to be Squeezeboxen or LMS issues. They seem to always be due to trying to do more then one's setup can handle IE not enough bandwidth, not enough Server processing power, poorly laid out WiFi Network, bad WiFi channel choice (living in a 400 unit apartment complex with everybody on the default channel), or Squeezeboxen at the maximum range of one's WiFi coverage or one to many brick walls between it and the WiFi Router. I ran Ethernet to my two farthest and all fixed position units and built a shelf in the top of my Network Closet so my WiFi router is as high as possible but still inside the house in a climate controlled location. I have not had a single Squeezeboxen or LMS issue in years. I did the same thing for my parents' setup and my sister's home and things work flawlessly (powerful enough Server, proper network layout). When I visit them, I check for updates and that is all I have had to do in over 6 years. Five or ten years ago, Servers and Harddrives were more expensive and smaller with less powerful processors. For many Squeezeboxen users, simply updating/upgrading their servers and fixing their local network issues would eliminate most complaints or issues. I have been using Vortexbox for almost a decade and now having the OS running all by itself on a 60GB SSD with four 8TB hard drives in the server hard drive bays runs perfectly. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Time for a speculation thread...
As I have typed often on this Forum, I would love to see a Duet Remote mated with a Harmony 1000. The problem would be getting it to a price point that more then 10 Squeezebox Fanatics would be willing to pay. The fact that anybody can get a used iTouch on EBAY and buy iPeng for it and have a killer remote and an iPod, makes it hard for any new Logitech product to be a Squeezebox remote control. And we are not even talking about the new iPad type tablets that are on the way. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85982 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Time for a speculation thread...
This might be a dumb statement/question.. Other then the SB1/SB2, when has ANY Squeezebox been updated? Look at the product line, its all new boxes, the SB2 being basically completely new inside just in the old SB1 box. So I personally don't see any Duet II, Touch II, or TP II coming. The TP SE seems a step backwards to me (basically a way to use boards and cases that were left over without TransNav Knobs). I could see a Receiver type product based on a display-less Touch as having some value as long as one doesn't have to have a Controller to do setup. I would not put the word Duet or Receiver in the name of this possible new product. I really only see two things that are holding any new products back: being forced to have an Internet connection to set the unit up the first time and having to have a display with user input for setup. This is the one area Sonos has the upper hand, but one pays through the nose and must use their proprietary network to achieve this. It would be simple enough to have video out or interface with a networked PC for setup. The Touch Receiver could be setup using the IR remote to see input on a TV or figure it out on a Network PC. Just my thoughts, but I wonder too if we have seen the last of the Squeezebox product line. All the money is in video today and the bottom as fallen out of that market price wise, $59 for a Roku box. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85982 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It was their decision in the first place to offer it for free and for as long as it has gone on, it has to have been making money somehow some place.

And yes that makes perfect sense if NetFlix's business model is changing and they want to force it, profits be damned. To me, it makes no sense to alienate the people that made you successful. I do stream NetFlix on my Roku players, but I also like to have access to movies via DVD on the Tuesday they are released. I don't want to wait another 18 months to two years to stream them for $8 a month. Hell by that time, I can see it on Network TV for no cost! So I am looking for other companies to give my dollars to for just released DVD rentals. Part of NetFlix's problem is to much success. The movie companies only allow X amount of new DVDs to be bought as rental releases. NetFlix has become so successful that their customer base far exceeds the number of DVDs they are allowed to obtain.

Re: [slim] No more free last.fm on the SB!
Oh well. Don't use it that much anyway as I have a huge library, but I do see how others will dearly miss this. It was handy to listen to new music to decide whether to make a purchase though. One less way of finding new CDs to buy. Yes I am one of those people that still buys the little silver buggers. I will continue to use Last.FM as long as Scrobbling remains as a free service. When and if I am forced to have a subscription for that, I will discontinue using Last.FM. I guess the big company that bought them now sees them as a drain without paid subscriptions or as an alternate revenue stream. This is about as stupid as Netflix raising its rates on long term customers that want to still receive DVDs in the mail while almost giving away the service to those that want to only stream. And the streaming service as gone to crap in the evenings with programs being unavailable or stopping because of an over busy server.

Re: [slim] Looking for Good SqueezeBox Overview
For me the problem with the Logitech Squeezebox Website is that it the exact opposite of the Slim Devices Squeezebox website. What I mean by this is that the SD site was geared toward information and technical specs that could lead to a sale by one going to the order page. The Logitech site is more of just a sales site with some weak marketing. As if the person looking for it already knows what they want and are ready to buy.

The reason Logitech keeps pointing at ones Network is that 95% of the problems are with ones own Network. All the other people that don't have problems would be having problems also if it were the Squeezebox or MYSB.com.

Re: [slim] SB3 and/or Touch as preamp
Yes, Volume on Zero/Off. Its not really a pre-amp function because its only for the Touch/SB3 and no other devices. But the Touch or SB3 will drive an amp or powered speakers because it has variable line level out on the Analog RCAs. I just put a small system together for one of my son's friends that is a Touch, Adcom GFA-555SE, and a pair of Vandersteen Model 2CE Signature II Speakers. The Touch is the volume control and drives the 555SE perfectly. If this is going to be a premanant setup and you can only stand the volume so high, it will be in your amp and speakers best interest to use either fixed or variable attenuators. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82788 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Just my 2 cents. :) What I was getting at is from a Squeezebox prosective it doesn't make much sense to have SBS built-in the Revue for those looking at TV which is a much larger market. So why bulk up the Revue and make it more expense when squeezebox is not the main market the Revue is going after? My Uncle, Parents, and Sister don't know anything about computers or wifi and have been using Squeezebox for years.

Re: [slim] MainSqueeze - Squeezebox Server based music player for the Roku DVP
Looks good, worked for me. Of course I don't have very many MP3s though. On large libraries it is my opinion that it needs a search function or at a minimum a Jump to Letter X feature/function.

Can't follow the logic. The Duet is in Stock and available. They can't build the Touch fast enough to keep it stocked for the States (partly because demand was higher then expected in the EU). And the Receiver should be back in stock as soon as the boat gets in and unloaded. I will say one thing though, they are going to have a bad December if they don't get off the Dime and stock some warehouses with product. They just had favorable reviews in TAS and Stereophile so somebody should make the decision to bump the production run number higher.

But I don't buy a new TV until the old one dies. They didn't get the sales they wanted from having 120Hz sets so they came out with 240Hz sets and that didn't make everybody run out and buy new so now its on to HD 3D. ESPN is going to have two channels broadcasting in 3D if they don't already have it now. One of the large movie companies committed to redo in 3D 50 to 70 popular movies by the end of the year.

Nice and easy if one wants to play MP3s around the house. But not much for fidelity or using FLAC files. FLAC was not listed that I could find.

NAS stands for Not A Server when it comes to SBS. I can't strongly recommend staying as far away from an over priced underpowered NAS when it comes to SBS and Squeezebox! An old PC with Vortexbox installed on it works better then any NAS I have used or seen (had a Thecus N5200 Pro). Or if you want turnkey, then buy the Vortexbox Appliance.
