It would be great if Logitech would publish online comprehensive users manuals for all their SB products.

You also need squeezeboxserver if the internet radio station or online music is in a format requiring transcoding (e.g. realaudio stream, some mms streams). Also, if you want to use some plugins like powercenter (to control X10 devices), you need squeezeboxserver. Chances are you will need to connect to squeezeboxserver from time to time. The main advantage of Mysqueezebox.com is that you do not need to power on your own computer if the music you want to listen is supported by your squeezebox. It is mainly about saving power. The downside is that you may need to switch between Mysqueezebox.com and squeezeboxserver from time to time. It is sometimes confusing for people, especially other family members. Therefore a lot of people (me included) just connect to squeezeboxserver all the time. Those people usually either have a very power efficient computer/NAS running 24/7 or with a regular computer but set up auto-standby to sleep in combination with wake-on-lan to save power. -- Honva Honva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75463 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Press the number keys multiple times to get the other letters. For example, to get "N" press the 6 key _twice_, with only a short pause between presses. To get "C" press the 2 key 3 times. It's the way cell phones have worked for a long time. If you use Squeezebox Server (not mysb.com) you may also want to install the LazySearch plugin. With LazySearch you only press a number key once for each letter, and it figures out what the possible combinations are.

In VA I pay $0.15/kwH which I thought was on the high side. Pisses me off knowing that my coworker who basically lives across the street pays $0.09/kwH! Different companies service our houses, I called around seeing if I could somehow get his company but I can not. Basically they deregulated the power companies under the thought that they would be self-regulated by consumer choice, however consumers still do not have a choice so not sure what the people were smoking who thought that made sense? I am not for government regulation in most cases however some industries just do not lend themselves to consumer choice and must be regulated to prevent monopolistic practices. Sorry for the rant back on topic: I have been using 7.4.2 for a bit now and while it improves the Alarm reliability for me and I do not have any bugs, I do find the UI horrible for an Alarm. Not sure why the devs do not understand these basic alarm rules: 1. It should be easy to snooze without looking at it. 2. It should NOT be easy to disable 3. Snooze and disable should not be easily confused 4. When I do disable I should have clear indication that the alarm will not go off again in 10 min. Right now using the scroll knob to snooze or disable is not good. Too easy to confuse the two. What I would suggest to the Devs is have the big wheel knob button Snooze and have the Power button disable and NOT use the turning of the knob to do it, then you can just have a popup like you have now but with icons telling the user how to do the two tasks. This would probably require less screen area and allow more room for a LARGER display of the time. Then to meet number 4, use the alarm icon you already have but when the alarm is in snooze mode have the icon blink. When the alarm is disabled have it stop blinking. -- m1abrams m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75541 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] still unable to play .AIF
Back in November, I filed a support ticket with Logictech regarding the squeezebox radio unable to play .aif and I was told it would be fixed in 7.4.2 firmware. Now, 7.4.2 is released and still can't play .aif. I was wondering whether anyone else has the same problem with .AIF or just me?

I had this nonsense as well. Oddly the first time it downloaded it was REALLY slow, like % per 30 seconds or something. Pulled power at 99% and then it downloaded quicker. Very odd, and somewhat worrying when a critical thing like firmware updates aren't flawless. :( I hope the update to 7.4.3/7.5 actually works properly. -- Aslak3 (SB 2, SB Boom, SB Radio) Aslak3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31977 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75541 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox 7.4.2 - what the HELL Logitech?
Well the loud volume burst prior to alarm fade in is not fixed, guess I have to wait for 7.5 for that problem. I thought the alarm default screen was being changed as well to make the time actually readable when the alarm is going off, but apparently that's not the case either. I can only hope that the next update that fixes some of these other issues doesn't take another four months to issue. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75541 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Mysqueezebox.com non-listing ofSqueezeboxBoom device
I did as you indicated. Thanks for the info. However, the email account I used on my Squeezebox Boom device is the same as the email address I use on my two Squeezebox radios. As I indicated in my earlier email, only the two Squeezebox radio devices are listed as players on mysqueezebox.com. The Squeezebox Boom device is still not listed as a player on mysqueezebox.com. As I also indicated in my previous email, the Squeezebox Boom device works perfectly and as expected with all the apps, such as Radio365, Pandora and Radio Time as do the two Squeezebox radios. I guess there must be another issue which I cannot figure out. I am really puzzled. Any more suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for the help!

[SlimDevices: Radio] Last FM Skip
Hello All, just wondered if anyone else had noticed that with 7.5, when listening to My Station on Last FM that the skip (or forward) button doesn't work. You can skip via the web interface, but not via the actual hard button on the radio itself. Is this just me or a software bug? thanks -- miniwaites miniwaites's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11895 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75603 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Port Settings
Try changing your SBS server port within the UI: SBS > Settings > Advanced > Network > Port Number You are likely having issues with Internet Radio on 7.5 because 7.5 uses a different MySB.com server and your Radio is likely registered to the standard (production) MySB.com 7.5 beta-MySB.com works as well as the regular MySB.com when the players are properly associated with beta-MySB.com I'd suggest using the 7.4.2 version for your usage. ;) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75589 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] album art but I've got a NAS
Alternatively, there are utility apps for managing your iTunes library - including features to export artwork. I found one via google - sorry don't have the name to hand. Then you can keep your artwork separate from the audio files or embed it using utilities such as mp3tag. Tons of info in the ripping/managing forum.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox 7.4.2 - what the HELL Logitech?
> So the radio is dependent on an external server "helping" the radio to > function properly. Not to mention dependent on a connection to the > Internet in your home. You miss the point. Its not about having a server at all. If you want a reliable (7.4.1) alarm its about if you are able to run a 100% working 24x7 server (and network). And I guess 90% of all people bying a Squeezebox-Radio are not able to create such an environment. Take MySB.com - it hasn't been reliable at all lately (in europe) - yes in the meantime they finally managed to upgrade their server, but this was only two weeks ago. And anyone not into computers won't be able to run its own 100% 24x7 local server (even if you say 'just leave your computer on' - I'm sure my wife one day would have turned it off - not knowing that the alarm then wouldn't work). Finally there were network reliability problems. For instance even if you have a local server your internet stream you use as alarm sound could be failing. And there where MySB.com connection problems - so even when MySB.com was up the radio disconnected within 24 hours (creating a failing alarm) Actually for all this situations the Radio was supposed to have at least a working fallback - unfortunately this didn't work at all. So in the end Logitech until this week was selling a device that is supposed to work as a replacement (not a company) for your $5 clock, but leaving us with a broken/unreliable alarm for 5 months.
