[slim] Squeezebox 3 (3rd Gen) music player for sale
I have a Squeezebox 3 (3rd gen) wireless music player for sale. Includes original box and manual and power supply. It comes with a remote but the remote is white in color. Also front metal plate will eventually need to be re-glued to the body as it's a little loose. I also have an Elpac AC adapter which really reduces line noise compared to the stock AC adapter. Since this is sort of a specialized device I thought I would offer it up here first before posting on Ebay. If you are interested send me a message. Overall the unit is in very nice condition. If this post is against board guidelines please delete. jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95923 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Obviously Sonos can't change their hardware in the field so they are using the Airport Express to bootstrap the software upgrade they just sent out. http://bit.ly/gornMF -- jackaninny jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85059 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Anyone thought about AIRPLAY support in Squeezebox Server?
bpa;607862 Wrote: It's about competition and control. AFAIK Apple hasn't made an AirPlay player for a PC. Airplay video has been hacked as the protocol is fairly open (so far) and some basic non Apple clients have been built for Linux and Windows. If competitive products to AppleTV start supporting Airplay perhaps things may change. Airplay audio still uses the old AirTunes protocol aka RAOP. This used to be open and a few open source projects were started and then the protocol was encrypted and development stopped. Although recently new efforts are being made to break the encryption such as RAOP support has been added to MPD but this approach won't help SBS support by Logitech. Apple didn't/hasn't released a version to stream TO a computer only FROM a computer to an iOS device. In order to go that direction your need AirPlayer or AirFrame (iOS to iOS). JBL is shipping their speaker/dock that is AirPlay enabled (http://www.onair.jbl.com/usa_onair.aspx) and Denon has a AV receiver. It's been confirmed that Apple does license AirPlay for audio (video is rumored to be coming soon) but it seems it's only for hardware at this point. Since Apple doesn't make their own speakers, televisions, AV equipment I doubt it's about competition - more likely just behind the curve on a broad rollout for the program itself. -- jackaninny jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85059 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Need help with local radio station stream
So that's interesting - I was able to tune in both stations via the SBS web interface - Internet Radio - Local (KKHD is 1550AM) So where is SBS pulling that stream in from? Why can't I get that same stream via the Boom interface? Are they pulling from two different sources for the stream? I email both stations asking for an alternate stream link but I'm not holding my breath. Googling the issue it seems like the Streamtheworld format is spreading and causing a number of issues with many different services/devices. -- jackaninny jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86453 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iSqueeze for iPhone/iPod touch preview
PRGeno;352000 Wrote: pippin, I feel the need to respectfully correct you. Technically you don't HAVE TO go through the AppStore. Apple's heavy handed tactics for controlling the platform has many developers upset. Waiting endlessly to have apps approved (and often not being approved for ambiguous reasons), together with their ultra-restrictive terms in the SDK agreement, has many developers pretty fed up. The AppStore was supposed to kill the iPhone Jailbroken apps, but seems to still be feeding the need for it. The AppStore is obviously the best way to profit from iPhone development. It has wide spread distribution access to potentially every single iPhone user. But many developers are still making money by selling Jailbroken apps via Cydia, when Apple feels the need to restrict their trade. Jailbreaking is safe, easy, and opens the iPhone's full potential. I can only hope that if for some reason, known only by Apple, Luke's or your apps get rejected, that you will consider going the Cydia route. Good luck to both of you, and we all look forward to the fruits of your labors. P.S. A Sonos controller app just showed up in the AppStore today. i'm not sure which developers you are referring to but many developers are finding quite a bit of profit going through the app store and very satisfied with the ease of distribution and payment collection. the developers that are unhappy with the approval process with legitimate reasons are a small minority. also i believe apple is loosening the ultra-restrictive terms ( see the removal of the NDA) as the process and app store mature. sorry if i sound like apple apologist but i think people should recognize that apple is working with a entirely new model of software distribution on a totally new platform. have they made mistakes? yes. have they made changes for the better? yes. is the app store as it stands one of the best distribution platforms out there? yes and probably by a fair margin. bottom line - jailbreaking is fine but for the author it means 1)a fraction if any compensation for their efforts 2)a much smaller audience for their software. -- jackaninny jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51849 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

'as a society' in 1998 'we' passed copyright term extension act which extended the term by another 20 years from the previous 50. the same 1998 act works created in 1923 or after will enter the public domain until 2019 and in many cases that date is even in question. have something create before 1978 but not registired for copyright protection? don't worry it's covered in the same 1998 act and will not enter the public domain until 2047. all of this legislation is private and corporate welfare plain and simple and at the expense of our society and culture. perhaps someone could tell me how this benefits the general public and why we, the public, should subsidize the next 3 generations or more of a particular artist? -- jackaninny jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18642 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

well if you chop up and paraphrase then anything can mean just about everything. once again from the constitution - article I, section 8, clause 8: to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries. key words and phrases 'limited' 'to promote the progress' nowhere does it say to provide for 3 future generations of the authors family nor does it talk about the ability of a corporation to own anything for a century or longer. very little of the current system respects the founding fathers intentions as written in the constitution. so no i did not invert anything and i stand by what i said. -- jackaninny jackaninny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=273 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18642 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hmm, reading over this again, I feel duty-bound to point out that I don't really think the music industry is so entirely jaded and washed-out as my comments above might imply. For example, I do recognise that improvements in technology mean that earlier CD releases can be bettered; and there are some excellent examples of budget-price remasters (e.g. the Rhino Yes series).

While I like the new design, I still also need a horizontal design that will fit in my stereo cabinet conveniently. Given that the Squeezebox is only usable when connected to a stereo, the new vertical form factor seems odd to me when presented as the only offering. As an alternate choice, yes, but as the only product? I guess I'll be searching ebay for my next Slim Devices purchase ... :-( Unfortunately I also have the same view. At the moment my SB's are all in racks/spaces where a higher form factor wouldn't work. I love the Squeezebox (1 sb1, 2 sb2's, further three contemplated for next year when building work is done, home demos leading to at least 5 other purchases...). Still, EBay will be cheaper than buying them new. It's not such a big deal for the SB3, since it doesn't add any features over the SB2, and I can be confident that any firmware advances will also apply to my existing SB2's. However, the SB4 next year (start the rumours already) will probably follow the new form factor, and if it adds new features I'll miss out. Also, I guess that the new vertical board arrangement with right-angle sockets would make it hard to re-case in a lower profile box without replacing the sockets. -- The biggest problem encountered while trying to design a system that was completely foolproof, was, that people tended to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

[slim] roku annouces 'clock radio' unit
more aimed at the bose product and that customer... http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/12685951.htm Posted on Mon, Sep. 19, 2005 Get up! Roku Internet radio rocks on easily By Dawn C. Chmielewski Mercury News Roku wants to replace your bedside clock radio with a gadget that tunes in Internet radio stations and plays your digital music collection. The SoundBridge Radio, which Roku announces today, is one of those rare home-networked devices that was easy to set up and use -- just like a radio. And it produced surprisingly rich sound quality that put it on a par with Bose or Cambridge SoundWorks. The SoundBridge Radio works like its traditional namesake -- it tunes in AM and FM stations and plays music through its built-in, high-fidelity speakers. But it also connects to your home's high-speed wireless network to fetch and play music off your computer's hard drive or receive Internet radio stations. Those include local stations that stream their broadcasts online or channels that are found only on the Internet. But Roku will have a tough time competing with the audiophile's favorite, Bose's Wave Music System, when it comes to looks. Roku's original networked home music player, the SoundBridge, has a distinctive tubular design with a long LCD display that gave it a sleek, futuristic feel. The SoundBridge Radio, on the other hand, bears an unfortunate resemblance to those gigantic home intercoms of the '60s. Some people will hasten to note that what's important is not how a radio looks, but how it sounds. Still, if Roku wants a spot on my granite kitchen counter, it better look hot, too. That's doubly true if I'm prepared to lay out $399 for a clock radio, instead of the usual $10. But enough about looks. Roku recognized an opportunity in the growing popularity of Internet radio, which now attracts about 40 million listeners. The original SoundBridge let people listen to Internet radio or their digital music collections through their home stereo. Of course, not everybody wants to invest the effort in modifying their existing stereo equipment to liberate the music from their home computers. The SoundBridge Radio targets this less-hassle-is-more market. It took less than five minutes to add the radio to my encrypted wireless home network. The LCD screen prompted me to provide the most basic information -- language, time zone, country of residence and network password, which I did using the remote control. After briefly restarting, the SoundBridge Radio was ready to rock. A source button lets you select audio options: AM or FM radio, Internet radio or your digital music collection stored on a computer's hard drive or a memory card. I was impressed with how the SoundBridge Radio automatically found the music tucked away inside my Mac's iTunes folder. The only limitation -- and it's a significant one -- is one Apple Computer has imposed. The SoundBridge Radio cannot play music purchased from Apple's iTunes Music Store, because Apple refuses to license its software to other hardware makers. (Apple, c'mon, set my music free.) The SoundBridge Radio works with other digital music services, playing music purchased or played in a continuous stream from Napster or MSN Music. It also will play music streams from RealNetworks' Rhapsody. But given that Apple controls 82 percent of the paid online music market, this will give iTunes music buyers pause. Roku added some other nice touches that are worthy of mentioning. It ships with 50 pre-programmed Internet radio stations, including my personal favorite, the eclectic Radio Paradise. A scan button lets you find new stations, just as you would tune any other radio. The radio also has six preset buttons along the top, which can be configured to remember 18 channels. Naturally, you can store your favorite radio stations. But what I liked was the ability to also store playlists or even albums fetched from my computer's hard drive. For example, I stored Coldplay's ``XY'' by simply playing the album and touching a preset. The system conveniently and automatically assigns names to each channel, so you don't need total recall. One more thing: It's a clock radio with alarm, with a big snooze button. But don't toss this across the room when you're half asleep. You'll regret it. the help desk Contact Dawn C.
