[slim] Using Pandora from Squeezenetwork
Last year I set up an account on Pandora on my PC and that works fine through my PC. Now that I have a SQ, I would like to play Pandora through the Squeezenetwork software. Question: 1. Using Squeezenetwork, how do I log in with my user name and/or password? 2. Will SN just know who I am? 3. Each time I try to run Pandora from within the SN menus, I get the error "invalid user name and/or password". Not surprising since I haven't found any place to add this from within the SN menus. What do I do?

Re: [slim] Connecting to Squeezebox from SlimServer
Jason, As you point out, the remote is not useable by the blind. Thus, I don't use the remote, and only control the Squeezebox via SlimServer on my PC. Once in a while, I do try to play the last station which may have been playing by first hitting the power button and then the play button. Although this often workd, sometimes nothing will happen and (I am told by a sighted person) that the display says "nothing playing". At that point, I'm lost and there's nothing I can do except get someone else to get the Squeezebox running again by using the remote. Well, I guess I'll look forward to SlimServer 7 (whenever it is available).

Re: [slim] Connecting to Squeezebox from SlimServer
Thanks for the reply. So, since I am blind, is there a set of keystroeks which I can push on the remote to reliably get to the main menu and the last item without seeing the display as I'm navigating? I don't always know where in the menus the last person left the Squeezebox. Also, do you know approximately when SlimServer 7.0 will be out of beta and officially released?

[slim] Connecting to Squeezebox from SlimServer
I sometimes have a problem connecting SlimServer to my Squeezebox. Here is my setup: 1. SlimServer 6.5.4 running on a Windows XP PC 2. Squeezebox hooked to my stereo in the next room 3. Buffalo wireless router Here is the problem...If I use the remote to set the Squeezebox to "SlimServer", then, if I start SlimServer on the PC, I can run the Squeezebox from my PC. However, if the Squeezebox is set (from the remote) to use the SqueezeNetwork, the Squeezebox properly plays internet radio (as it should) through my router, but I cannot seem to get to and/or run the Squeezebox from my PC by running SlimServer. The reason this is a problem is that I am blind and cannot use the remote. Sometimes, someone else sets the Squeezebox to play music via the SqueezeNetwork and leaves it in this state after turning it off. Not being able to use the remote, I try and run SlimServer from my PC in order to control the Squeezebox, but SlimServer will say that my player cannot be found. In this situation I need sighted assistance to use the remote to get the Squeezebox to play through the SlimServer, and then all is fine. Is there some way out of this dilemma - i.e., is there some way I can get the Squeezebox to be run by the SlimServer software from my PC no matter what state it has been left in? Alternately, is there some simple button I can push on the remote in order to get the Squeezebox into a state which will enable it to be run by the SlimServer software? Note: since the menus on the Squeezebox display all wrap around, I can't use these menus reliably without seeing them. Thanks for any help / suggestions. -- Pete -- ptorpey ptorpey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12072 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40136 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Renaming Favorites Entry
BTW You can link you Squeezenetwork favorites into your Slimserver so that you just have one list. Cool! How do I do that?

This is what I was looking for. Your solution involves changing the name from the PC (I presume). Is there a way that this can be done soley using the remote (i.e., if the Squeezebox isn't hooked to a SlimServer running on the PC but only through a router)?

Re: [slim] Renaming Favorites Entry
I am using version 6.5 on my Windows PC. I know how to modify the name of a station placed in my PlayList on the PC, but the problem I have is that, when using the remote with the Squeeze Network (not through my PC), I would like to change the name of stations placed in Favorites (since the default names are sometimes odd and not representative of the station's real name). -- Pete -- ptorpey ptorpey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12072 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Renaming Favorites Entry
Often, after saving a new internet station to the Favorites list using the remote, the name of the new station in the Favorites list is strange or not something that can easily be remembered and associated with the real name of the station. Is there a way of editing the name of the station in the Favorites list so that the name can be changed to something more desireable?

[slim] Deleting Favorites from Remote
I am not running the Squeezebox through my computer but through my router directly. I use the remote exclusively to run the Squeezebox. I inadvertently added several internet radio stations to my Favorites but don't know how to delete them. How is this done by using the remote? Also, for stations where I know the URL but can't find them in the list of local stations on the remote, how can I add these manually?

A plug-in to be able to use the free aspects of Pandora 2. The ability to redirect audio going through the sound card to the Squeezebox, or 3.

[slim] Adding Favorites from Slim Server
Hi, I am visually impaired and cannot easily use the remote for controlling my Squeezebox. Fortunately, the Slim Server software is readily accessible with my PC screen reader and I can perform most functions from the PC. One thing I have not been able to figure out how to do from Slim Server is to add an Internet Radio station to my Favorites. Is this possible from the PC?
