Re: [slim] Bought!
Download and install SqueezeCenter as well and try out SoftSqueeze to get a feel of how the SB3 looks and its interface. It's not perfect, but it'll give you a good idea. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60636 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I've experienced both (I also use WinAmp/ShoutCast). You can use cut & paste to get the URL from ShoutCast or from the streams home website and paste into SC or SN. The URL must be in the proper format and not an embedded player feed for SC or SN to play the stream. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60636 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Bought!
Well, shoutcast is a service of winamp, not of slimdevices or logitech. Let me try another way: I like two radios. I found and listen them in winamp (through shoutcast). The problem is that they play scattering. One of this radio I found that broadcasts even directly. If you tune on it directly, it plays without scattering. I desume that shoutcast has some problems. My question was: has anyone experienced something like this in squeezebox, or is only a problem of winamp? -- Rikk Rikk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25652 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60636 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

(not passing through shoutcast) Not sure I understand but - ShoutCast is just another service on SC and SN, it is not required - unless specifically selecting ShoutCast server or station URL copied from ShoutCast then ShoutCast will not be utilized - ShoutCast will often "shuffle" it's streams so a saved URL from ShoutCast may not work in the future - if the station via it's website uses ShoutCast servers then all of that stations streams will be through ShoutCast I hope one of the above answers your question? :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60636 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Bought my 1st CD since ripping 650 albums
What a different experience! I looked closely at the CD, realizing that this was likely the only time I'd be handling it. No checking for fingerprints, no buffing - just rip it and file it away. No errors either - imagine that! -- Rick B.
