In case anyone is interested, the closeout retailer (and Amazon
division) Woot has the original Libratone Zipp as an open box item
priced at $120 US. Unfortunately, they only ship to the 48 contiguous
states of the US.

Noted.
I must say I’m very pleased with the Libratone Zipp. It’s pretty much
perfect in conjunction with the Airplay bridge. 
The problems I was having with RP are now resolved. Not sure what the
issue was exactly but it’s not displaying any problem at track changes
now at all.
The Bluetooth on iPhone with iPeng was a bit of a head scratcher but I
realised what it was soon enough.

If you have a spare Bluetooth only speaker then this could turn it into
an AirPlay device (and a Squeezebox).

Interesting project but not suitable for this use case as I was after an
Airplay speaker.
I do however have an old ghetto blaster that I might re-purpose if there
is sufficient space in the case.

One other annoyance when used in conjunction with iPeng. If my iPhone is
connected to the speaker by Bluetooth while I’m using iPeng to control
it via LMS / Airplay and I close iPeng it also stops the playback.
Disconnect from Bluetooth and all ok

I noticed this whilst on holiday, and couldn't resist ordering another
one (I now have 2) for £130! My previous cost me £150... Thanks for
posting the price :)

My current device is on firmware 708 - but I have not updated further
due to the next version breaking AirPlay1 support (I only use these
speakers with LMS). This is supposedly fixed in a later firmware
version, but as 708 works for me I'm hesitant to upgrade further. The
newer speaker I've updated to firmware 665, but the next update wants to
add AirPlay2 support - so would be newer than 708. Once again I'm
hesitant. Have you updated your speaker to the latest firmware version?
If so, does it still work with the AirPlay bridge? And what firmware
version is this? (You can check the version by accessing the speaker's
settings in the Libratone app).

I've got the Zipp 2 and it works fine with the airplay plugin too. It
has one problem, pointed out in another thread, that when it connects to
my wifi network the first time it comes on with max volume. I have to
standby to adjust immediately so as not to bug who ever is in earshot
(kid, neighbours).

But my biggest problem though is not Zipp related, its Ben Stokes. I'm
an Aussie and old enough to have suffered through Botham at Headingley
and now this! Amazing. Yes, we've had the bulk of the great batsmen over
the past 40 years, but why do England get the killer alrounders who can
win a game, a series in one fell swoop (Beefy, Freddie, and now this
monster).

I don't want to derail the thread, just venting. At least I didn't
suffer through it in audiophile quality on the Zipp.

I ordered the Libratone Zipp original from Amazon and I’m now sitting in
the garden listening to Radio Paradise via LMS / Phillipe’s plugin

Took about 5 mins to get it going but I did already have the plugin
running.

Thanks all.

This is probably better that the Audio Pro for my requirements due to
the 360 degree design. And I got it for£130

Yes, it is he ...

The zipp gets an update via the internet when accessed by the libratone
app - there's also a basic web page access *never used it for updates. 


The latest firmware gives both airplay 1 and 2 - works well with the
bridge plugins.

There's also a Zipp mini - same style but smaller.

I think that philippe_44 has said that the plugin does not work with
Airplay 2.

I just looked at this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Libratone-Wireless-Bluetooth-MultiRoom-Rechargeable/dp/B0150DT7FK/ref=asc_df_B0150DT7FK/?tag==df0=37542319=1o2=g=5264146616263307228c===9045491=pla-563598867251=1==76364494789

Reading the blurb, it seem to suggest that the model requires an update
for Airplay 2.

Perhaps an e-mail might solicit further info.

Also if the update is automatic or manual?

Re: [slim] Portable Airplay Speaker

2019-08-24 Thread d6jg

I’m tempted by that because the SB Radio lives in the kitchen and SWMBO
uses it to listen to Radio 2 - I have presets for more interesting stuff
go me. The C3 is a bit pricey for an occasional use player though. I was
also looking at a Libratone Zipp 2 but I need to know that it will work
with the plugin as it’s Airplay 2.

Sorry - that sounded a bit arrogant.  What I should have said is that
the Audio Pro sounds better than the SBR in my opinion.  Obviously it
lacks the Squeezebox-dedicated controls and screen of the SBR.

Not sure where you'd draw the line between 'cheap' and 'not cheap', but
the 'Audio Pro C3'
(https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Pro-Addon-C3-Multi-Room/dp/B07CX4GQ39)
is a nice unit.  It has a really nice sound, with an app that lets you
adjust bass and treble.  I leave mine plugged in as a bedroom player
most of the time, which means the battery is always fully charged when I
need to use it outside, and it's always available as Squeezebox player. 
Works well with Philippe's plugin, with no need to adjust for any time
lag.
