I'm surprised that there is so little discussion/sharing about applying
the capabilities of the Squeezebox. There are many neat applications,
but mostly I learn about them by seeing someone struggle to get them to
work. Let me start by sharing one, its not ingenious, but useful.
You can record your favorite radio show on your slimserver machine and
then listen to it at your leasure. For those stations that don't have
a audio on demand, you can make one.
My slimserver lives on an linux machine, so I use mplayer to record the
stream (in this case real) to a wave file, and then use lame to
transcode it to mp3. This is all set up in a batch file which is run
by a cron script.
In windows, programs like total recorder can do the same. I store
them in a subdirectory called Broadcasts, and keep 5 days of my
favorite serious Jazz shows from WKCR, Columbia U.'s fine station.
If there is interest I can post the details, but my purpose was to
start a discussion of such fairly easy, but perhaps not so obvious
Squeezebox Tricks...
