[slim] 24 bit 88.2KHz FLACS and SB Classic
I've been looking at Linn Records' site and thought it might be nice to try their 24/88.2 Studio master FLACs. I have a Classic and Squeezebox Server 7.4.1. I know the Classic will play 24/48 files. Will Squeezebox Server downsample the 24/88.2 to 24/48, and do I need any additional software to do it?

Re: [slim] Adding Podcast feeds

Thanks Oldrad for asking the question and BPA for the answer. I just listened to the podcastr of Fresh Air. Do any Australians (or others) know if the Australian ABC provides a similar list of their podcasts?

Re: [slim] Multiple ARTISTSORT (etc) tags
This could be a bit tricky. It looks to me that the problem is in the tag data standard itself if you can link specific ARTIST and ARTISTSORT fields. Unless Slimserver can be made to take into account the order in which they are entered and pair them that way: ARTIST=Butch Cassidy;The Sundance Kid ARTISTSORT=Cassidy, Butch;Sundance Kid If you do this, you would have to be mindful of instances when the SORT form is the same as the normal form. So if you also wanted to index Led Zeppelin in the same tag we would have to do this: ARTIST==Butch Cassidy;Led Zeppelin;The Sundance Kid ARTISTSORT=Cassidy, Butch;Led Zeppelin;Sundance Kid or maybe: ARTIST==Butch Cassidy;Led Zeppelin;The Sundance Kid ARTISTSORT=Cassidy, Butch;;Sundance Kid Anyway, back to work ...

Re: [slim] Synchronized DB3 suddenly stops.
From your subject line I thought you were having trouble with your Aston Martin!

Re: [slim] Plugging SB3 straight into poweramp?
SteveC;195551 Wrote: There's no real risk as such except for if there is a software glitch on the volume control to give full volume or a burst of full volume noise AND your amp manages to blow the speakers because either of clipping or excess power. But as a matching issue I'd look at the output impedance of the SB and the input impedance of the amp, ensure the ratio is at least 1:10 and preferably a lot more. I have run a Transporter Prima Luna tube power amps for quite some time with no problems. How do I find out the SB3 output impedence? I haven't been able to find it in the docs. -- swhite58 Linux file server-SB3-Luxman L4-Gale 3020 speakers swhite58's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5038 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34532 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Plugging SB3 straight into poweramp?
I have an SB3, which I use with a Luxman L4 integrated amp. Yes, the L4 is definitely vintage, but it was well regarded in its day and still does a good job :) The L4 has bridged RCA pre and power amp connections so I could in theory plug the SB3 straight into the power amp. Is there any risk in doing this? See http://www.hilberink.nl/codehans/luxman7.htm for some pics of the L4, including the bridged RCAs Thanks Shane -- swhite58 SB3, Luxman L4, Gale 3020 speakers, Linux file server. swhite58's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5038 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34532 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Let's here some suggestions for SlimServer 7
Before I bought a SB, I had mpd (music player daemon) installed on a linux box with a soundcard. I controlled it with a web front end called phpMp, which had a clickable progress bar, which enabled you to go to any point in the track that was playing. For a screenshot see http://www.musicpd.org/images/phpMp_20030925_7.jpg I'd love to be able to do this with Slimserver. I know about the Song Scanner plugin, and it works really well, but I'd prefer to use Slimserver for this.
