[SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio update?
I've just dusted off my squeezebox radio that I haven't used for ages. On the settings it says there's an update to v7.7.3, but a quick Google looks like there is a 7.7.8. Should I update? If I goto 7.7.3 will I then see the 7.7.8? Is it worth the update? I thought squeezebox was gone as a brand?

You update the LMS on the computer, to the latest version, over the top of the version currently being used. If your not fussed, don't bother.

I think that 7.7.8 is only for the SBTouch. It's 7.8.0, and yes, it's Touch only. There's no new firmware for the Radio. -- Michael ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio update?
Squeezebox is better supported. If you only use it with the online services (MySqueezebox.com or UESmartRadio.com) i think these days the only difference between the two systems are the smartphone apps you can use to control them. For UE there's only Logitech's, which no longer works on some recent Android versions IIRC and which is generally a bit special while for the Squeezeboxes there is a wide range of control apps although Logitech's own one is broken on even more Android devices. OK, for UE there's also iPeng UE for iOS but if you want iPeng I'd still recommend the Squeezebox version, much more capable. So I'd think it's an easy decision: go Squeezebox, not UE --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106600 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Stick with firmware 7.7.3-r16676. There is no advantage to switching to UE.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio update?
Found an upgraded. Logged into squeezebox and my player was there. Once switched on showed a button to upgrade to UE. As there's an official way back to squeezebox thought I'd try anyway. Went smooth, shop far can't see any difference though? Why did Logitech do this for?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio update?
Logitech claimed many customers were confused with SB players connecting to two servers (MySB.com and LMS). I can certainly understand that. So they made the UE Radio capable of only connecting to the UE online server to simplify this issue. But this meant dumbing down the UE Music Library on the computer for local music playback. This UE Music Library also (and only) connects to the UE online server. Big drawback is if UE online server goes down you have ZERO access to anything (online stations or your local music). They also dumbed down the online web UI for UE, SB (MySB.com) is much more customizable and has more features and control options. If MySB.com goes down you can still connect to LMS for BOTH local music and basic internet station streaming. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106600 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio update?
I think the idea behind the UE redesign - not having to switch between MySB and LMS if your LMS is not permanently running - was a good one and something they should have done earlier. However, at the time they didn't have enough of a team left to do it right and nowadays thus becomes more and more obsolete. Devices become more powerful so you can now easily run a full server on each one (so no need to shut down the server with e.g. Your laptop) and people use more streaming so less need for an own library. So right now the Squeezebox system is fine and since LMS 7.9 started to offer the remote libraries there is now a much better solution to effectively do the same thing UE wanted to achieve: that you can easily play music from a temporarily available source without having to switch the player to a different server Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106600 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
