Well, for what it's worth, here's a subscription that ain't happening because of no Slimserver support. -- Malor Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21728 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I got his in my Inbox yesterday. I don't even know what the hell Pandora is, but it seems this marketing email from Patrick did not get much of a reading. Posted in its entirety below: Dear Slim Devices Customer, We're excited to announce that we've added support for Pandora, an amazing music service, to SqueezeNetwork for Squeezebox2 and Squeezebox v3 owners. Pandora is a music discovery service that lets you create custom stations based on your favorite songs or artists. If you haven't experienced Pandora, I recommend that you visit http://www.pandora.com and try it out on your computer. The first time I used Pandora on my Squeezebox, I was glued to my listening chair the entire weekend. Since Pandora is part of SqueezeNetwork, you can even listen to it without your computer being on. To try it out with your Squeezebox, log on to http://www.squeezenetwork.com/ and sign up for a trial Pandora account by clicking on the Pandora link on the top-right of the page. Then use your remote to connect your Squeezebox to SqueezeNetwork and browse into Pandora Radio. I have more good news. Squeezebox v3 and Squeezebox2 owners can listen FREE to Pandora for 90-days. US-based customers can continue their Pandora service for only $36 per year. This is truly a killer app. Cheers, Patrick Cosson P.S. If you're not in the US, please feel free to recommend local content providers that you think would make great partners for Slim Devices. --- Patrick Cosson V-P, Sales Marketing Slim Devices, Inc. 415-359-7407 cell 413-638-5248 efax Over all, you have to love this sweet, satisfying machine. Its creators have sweated so many details, you want to hand them a towel. Now that CD players, tape decks and turntables are rapidly disappearing, the Squeezebox brings us one step closer to the era of the stereo-free stereo.

[slim] Re: Is there any way to run Pandora through SlimServer?
That certainly doesn't appear to be the case... when streaming from a server under my control, the connection count goes up by only 1 when streaming three devices. And I see only one TCP connection in my firewall. Now, it's possible that it's multiplexing three streams over one connection or something like that... I don't have any easy way to measure the bandwidth being used. But given how it looks, it strikes me that the sensible solution is to conclude that it's downloading the original stream only once. That's how I'd do it, if I were writing the software, and I presume the Slim guys are smarter than I am. :) As far as the Pandora thing... I searched on Pandora, but I don't see any conversation wrt Slimserver integration. Can you give me a pointer? -- Malor Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21728 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
