Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] zune
Try any iOS App except for Napster, for example. I assume Napster eats the hefty license fee (or has some gross license anyway). Microsoft's license fees for WMA are ridiculous and al the free codecs (OK, I only know about one anyway) are GPL'ed. WMA _with_ DRM will not even work on your Squeezebox. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75848 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] zune
Huh? :) I personally have never had any issues with using copy protected WMA or WMV files on any of my devices when I was using Napster. I don't seem to have any issues with Zune either. It actually works pretty darn nice on my mango based phone. So that's news to me. Not sure why I would have to avoid it. pippin;666537 Wrote: > Nothing that uses WMA is "perfect". > Due to the way MS is licensing this codec, WMA is a mess and to be > avoided.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] zune
Nothing that uses WMA is "perfect". Due to the way MS is licensing this codec, WMA is a mess and to be avoided.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Scroll through long list of artists
Excellent advice, that works for me. Not that intuitive for the non "experts" but once you know that trick...

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Scroll through long list of artists
This may sound silly, but it's worth a shot: how are you turning the scroll knob? I find the scrolling gets up to speed pretty fast if you use a single index finger on the edge of knob. It's much faster than using multiple digits, especially involving the thumb. But maybe you're already doing this. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91253 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Scroll through long list of artists
Just noticed that in fact, after a pause, scrolling backwards from A does jump to Z. That makes things better but it would still be nice if I could get to the high speed scrolling point quicker. -- fredme fredme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91253 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Scroll through long list of artists
I love my Squeezebox Radio but there is one irritant and that is how to quickly scroll through a long list of artists in order to select an artist towards the end of that list. I have about 900 artists. After a few seconds of manic turning of the scroll wheel the scroll speed increases but those few seconds are irritating and it is not that intuitive. Even being able to loop back from A to Z (i.e. not have to go A, B, C...Z) would help. Am I missing something?
