Yes, it's eye candy. Nice eye candy, but eye candy. For me, I notice that the display for FLACs seems to be slow and jerky - for MP3s much better. But for both, in my case the bass bars tend to always max out regardless of the musical content, with the other bars only moving occasionally. This may be due to ReplayGain. At any rate, the developers have much more pressing work to do and I would really rather not see them deferring something important just to fix this (nice) eye candy, so I haven't voted in the poll. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) 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=57643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The spectrum analyzer is fed by a real FFT calculation, but there's an emphasis function applied to make it visually more interesting. There's an archived thread on this somewhere with the exact details - I can't remember off the top of my head. Similarly, the VU meters don't represent the actual voltages - dBfs would be more relevant for a digital player, but then it would have the same retro appeal as analog meters, which needed indicate the "too hot" range. -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the support and comments. I didn't want to embarrass anyone, but since you brought up the fact- there are animated 'visualizations' by the thousand available (in full color and high resolution) for players such as WMP and Winamp. So my point is that if the developers at a class act like Slim Devices want to enhance(?) their product with a low-resolution, monochrome clone of the classic Mike Lynch Winamp plugin from 1998 (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details/165966), they should at least do a good job, and make it look and perform as much like the original as they can. BTW, I think they did OK with the VU Meter display (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details/41743), considering the limitations of the display. -- robdesalle robdesalle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22635 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

There was some discussion of this a long time ago. Basically, the developers know it isn't accurate, it was never intended to be, it's just a "screen saver" or realtime animation if you like. I doubt it will ever change, not now anyway. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
