[slim] Problem with stream...
I'm having no luck at all playing this stream through my SB2. It plays on my PC using Real Player and the Windows Media Player. I'm using the latest nightly download of Slimserver. mms://livemedia.omroep.nl/avroklassiek5 Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for this DFK, at least I have the consolation of knowing that it's not just me. Curious though, I thought that the SB2 plus Slimserver could handle the Windows Media format now, but evidently not.

[slim] Small FM transmitter...
Fellow Squeezers, I've been toying with the idea of buying a little low-powered FM transmitter to plug into the headphone socket of the Squeezebox so that I can listen to the SB on any of the FM portable radios that we have about the house. Like when I'm in the bath, for example. Mono would do. Does anyone have any recommendations? Of course, I would have to give the most solemn assurances to any seller that the unit would not be used within the UK.

Thanks to all for the replies. Since I made the original posting I've found the following: http://www.veronica.co.uk/50mwsb.htm but it might be overkill for what I need. Roy, do you have any idea what the range of the iRock is when used about the house?

I never got around to contacting them as I had waited for so long for my SB2 that I really didn't want to be without it so soon. Are these the people that you're having problems with? Regarding the problem with the headphone socket on the Squeezebox2, Slim Devices have identified the problem within a small batch that were sent to the UK. Becasue it is a manufacturing fault they will swap the units out via their UK distributor who should be contacted via e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the e-mail you need to quote the serial number on the side of the unit. You will then be issued with an RMA number and can return the item for a replacement unit. Max Hello Max, just a quick word of hard-won advice. This is exactly what Broadbandstuff told me to do and like a fool I did it (and paid five pounds-odd out of my own pocket for the postage, too!). I bitterly regret doing this now, what I should have done was to have informed Broadbandstuff that the item was defective, that I had rejected it and that I required an immediate refund of the full purchase price. It's a dirty little bit of sharp practice, but by sending the unit to Progressive as requested I made it possible for Broadbandstuff to argue that I had 'accepted' the goods and that on these grounds they would not give me a refund. So I'd suggest to anyone in this position in the UK to be very cautious and to deal *solely* with the people from whom they bought the goods. Do not under any circumstances get involved with third parties. Regards, Nick. -- nhopton ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SB2 earphone socket problem...
Hello All, I was one of the people in England who were unfortunate enough to receive one of the SB2s with the earphone socket problem. I know there were other readers of the list with the same problem and I'm just enquiring about how they fared when they tried to get the defect remedied. In my case things are developing into the stuff of nightmares and I've been without my Squeezebox for nearly four weeks now.

[slim] Re: SB2 earphone socket problem...
Tell me David, when you sent the unit to Progressive for replacement did *you* have to pay the postage? Like a fool I did and I feel very hacked off about it. Why should I be punished by having to pay the postage? My only crime was to buy the unit in the first place. Progressive told me that my replacement SB2 would with me by the end of last week, but of course it wasn't. Broadbandstuff told me that it would be here today, which of course it isn't (well we'll see, there are three and a bit hours of 'today' left, but I'm not holding my breath). If you'll believe it, when I told Broadbandstuff I wanted a refund they told me I couldn't have one. This, of course, is the sort of rubbish calculated to enrage.

The adverts for the SB2 strongly implied that it could be used for streaming Internet radio without being connected to a PC now, and not at some unspecified time in the future.
